The first couple of series of Minder was as good as anything seen on TV in the seventies and early eighties. He'll be selling dodgy halos now. rip Arfur/'Arry/George - you were superb. To show how much he was thought of back then I saw him in a play once a long time ago when the audience gave him a standing ovation when he entered the stage and before he could get his first line out. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

Arthur Daley, one of the best British TV characters ever. Been watching some of the classic first few series on ITV4 recently and it is still thoroughly enjoyable. RIP George. In the woods there grew a tree. And a fine fine tree was he.

I really thought he was already dead. Minder with Dennis Waterman was fun TV in it's day and obviously Arthur Daley was a memorable TV character before the days of satellite TV and when restrictions on TV violence was at their height. A shame they carried on with Gary Webster because those episodes were terrible. RIP

One of my favourite episodes was where Arthur was doing jury service. The interaction between him and the other jurors was brilliant. 'Lies to the masses as are like fly's to mollasses...they want more and more and more'

Have only just heard the news. Am genuinely gutted. Another part of my youth has just disappeared. Minder was truly one of a kind, I still watch it now even though is hasn’t aged well. In many ways the fact the show appears dated is partially due to how realistic the programme was. Minder was truly a snap shot of working class London in the late 70s/80s. A London before foreign exchange students and cappuccino bars took over. Damn I miss the old days. God rest your soul George - from one old Tooting boy to another.

My memory is selective and it certainly wasn’t all better back then. I remember the trains being vandalised, phone boxes not working, etc. etc. It’s just I guess if you compared most places in the UK to how they were 30+ years ago you would find a lot of change, however London has become almost unrecognisable and I guess I just miss it.
