Another classic Minder collection - By: L O'connor, 20 Oct 2006 
Every series of Minder contains wonderful episodes. My personal favourite from series 2 is 'Diamonds are a Girl's Worst Enemy' where Terry finds himself once more having to mind Rose Mellor, who he encountered in series 1. Still as tricky as ever, she is now working in the dodgy diamond trade, & her car together with a consignment of diamonds is stolen while Terry is driving for her. Naturallly Rose's employer is not very happy about this, & both Arthur & Terry come under suspicion. "All About Scoring, Innit" is another classic episode, where Terry has to mind footballler Danny Varrow, who is hoping to sell the story of his tangled love-life to the papers. His amorous adventures have got him into a lot of trouble, & Terry has to contend with more than one outraged man bent on vengeance. "You Lose Some, You win Some2 is another episode featuring gambler Maurice (Anthony Valentine) who, having promised his wife he won't gamble any more, has opened a school for gamblers. "Whose Wife is It Anyway?" brings another new experience for Terry, minding an antique shop when the owner is in hospital, & Terry gets to meet the kind of people he doesn't normallly mix with. Very un-PC & very funny.
Every episode is worth watching, & as always Dennis Waterman & George Cole are magic together. Not forgetting the supporting characters like Dave the barman, & venemous Sergean Chisholm (Patrick Malahide) permanently thwarted in his desire to charge with something, anything. I never weary of 'Minder' no matter how many times I watch it. I love everything about it, the characters, the humour, the seedy West London locations. When I'm tired of 'Minder' I'll be tired of life.
