Watch Minder 1979 Online free

Minder is a British comedy-drama about the criminal underworld of London. It was created by Euston Films, a division of Thames Television, and broadcast on ITV. It was initially produced by Verity Lambert. The show ran for ten series between 29 October 1979 and 10 March 1994, and starred Dennis Waterman as Terry McCann, an honest and likable bodyguard, and George Cole as Arthur Daley, a socially ambitious, but highly unscrupulous importer-exporter, wholesaler, used-car salesman, and anything else from which money could be made, legal or otherwise. The show was largely responsible for popularizing the term minder, which refers to a personal bodyguard, in the UK and Australia. The players frequently drank at the local members-only Winchester Club, whose owner and bartender Dave functioned as Arthur's messenger and turned a blind eye to his illicit dealings. At its peak, the series was one of ITV's most popular in terms of viewership. It included a number of well-known British actors as well as a number of up-and-coming actors before they became famous. In 2008, it was reported that a new version of Minder would be produced for transmission in 2009, but none of the original actors will appear in the new episodes. Shane Richie portrayed Arthur's nephew, Archie, in the new show. The series premiered on February 4, 2009. After the first season's lackluster reception, it was confirmed in 2010 that no additional episodes would be produced.
