59:12

In this episode we feature an exclusive interview with Stuart St Paul who appeared in the classic Whose Wife Is It Anyway? from Series 2 of Minder.

Welcome to episode 30 of the minder podcast in association with minder.org. I remember when the UK Gold TV channel I first came out that I thought it was great that certain TV programmes were being recognised as classics.

This one is a little different as you will no doubt have seen. So what’s occurring, what’s this all about? Well, I have had a few requests for doing an episode deep dive and wasn’t sure if I wanted to start that process as it could become addictive. After all, there are 109 to play with.

1:14:30

This time we feature an exclusive interview with a very well known actress, particularly in the 80’s, Maureen O’Farrell. It took me a whileto track Maureen down but once I realised she had changed her name to Sara Farouk Ahmed it was a little easier.

In this episode we feature a terrific interview with George Cole from 2008.

In this show we are going to explore some Minder trivia. This is the first of several shows where we will do just that.
