In Series 7, the final series to feature Dennis Waterman as Terry and thus the last to feature the original opening credits, the sequence was modified very slightly to include shots of Terry, Arthur and Dave at the Winchester, giving Edwards his own billing rather than among the guest cast. Terry is a former professional boxer who has served time in Wormwood Scrubs ("two years for GBH and three for attempted robbery" according to a police sergeant in the first episode, "Gunfight at the OK Laundrette", although other episodes slightly contradict this and the overall details are often quite vague), having served a substantial term because he would not become an informant against his co-accused. Despite its eventual success, Minder was a slow burner, not helped by being delayed by a technicians' strike which forced most of the ITV network off the air for eleven weeks in mid-1979. This DVD set does not include the "comeback" episodes aired by Channel 5 in 2009 featuring Shane Ritchie and Lex Shrapnel - this was not a hit and was pulled by Channel 5.Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. Both attracted much larger audiences and by series 3, the show had become a major hit, and at its peak was often cited as the "jewel in ITV's Drama crown".

With few options, Terry is employed as Arthur's "minder" on vague and ungenerous terms, with it often being hinted that Arthur has manipulated him into this job, and indeed is seen to continue to manipulate Terry throughout the character's run in the series, despite Terry often attempting to find other means of employment and break free from Arthur's control (the later feature-length special "An Officer and a Car Salesman", which leads into Series 7, Terry's last stint in the series, begins with Terry once again inside, this time after being caught with some of Arthur's dodgy merchandise).Series 1 episodes comprise: 'Gunfight at the OK Launderette', 'Bury My Half at Waltham Green', 'The Smaller They Are. Spanning 15 years with a staggering 108 episodes, Minder became one of Thames Television's most successful series of the 1980s, screening in over 70 countries. Of course most would accept the bleedin' obvious: it reached its zenith in the Dennis Waterman years but Gary Webster as his replacement wasn't half bad and has been seriously underrated ever since. Arthur tests Terry's patience with dishonest and doomed schemes to make money, then uses his cunning to persuade Terry to stay with him.
