I love the original!!!!!

What are peoples thoughts on the new series/remake/whatever???

I thought there are far worse shows on TV. but is it really worth it??

dint watch it as you cant replace George Cole and Dennis Waterman -should have left it as a classic memory

Seeing as I think Shane Richie is a talentless no-mark with a face I could gladly kick all night long without getting bored I can safely announce that I will not be watching this....thing

Quite enjoyed it really. I'll defo watch the next one.

I'm not normally a violent person, but I agree with all of that

Shane richie is terrible in it like he is in everything he does.
The original one with Goeorge Cole and Dennis (yummy when he was young) Waterman was much, much, much better.

Thankfully ITV4 are still showing the original and long may it continue.

Ritchie is a talentless pillock, end of. Seen him on a couple of chat shows and he is also ringpiece.

I never saw the origional but i watched the new one and thought it was quite good and im looking forward to next weeks episode, but i think i prefered Shane Richie as Alfie Moon.

I'd prefer Shane Richie on the moon.

As a tv prog it was ok 6/10

If he hadn't married Madonna, nobody would ever have heard of him. What's the male equivalent of a WAG?

.....hab?????

He didnt even write the theme tune or sing the theme tune!!!!

I quite liked it, and I do quite like Shane Richie but you can't beat good old Dennis!!

Sorry Basil, wrong Ritchie. You're thinking of the director GUY Ritchie methinks...


As a Minder fan, albeit a young one who didn't grow up with it, I rather liked the reinterpretation. BUT, I'm not viewing it as Minder, I'm viewing it as a follow-up.

Shane Ritchie can only play Shane Ritchie.Very limited actor in my opinion.

Being repeated now, on channel 5, 7.30 pm Saturday, if anyone's interested.

I'm Arthur Daley.

Never saw the original but the new show is good. Lots of people to spot - the chap from the Post Office ads, think the police woman was in Blakes seven or something ?

If you missed it you can catch up on the Demand 5 link from this page

I'm a fan of the old ones, and I rather liked it - Shane is definitely a Daley.

The danger is of assuming it's as good as your rose-tinted memory of the original. The first series took a while to sink in - maybe this is the same. I reckon it's got potential.

if im honest i prefer the origional, dennis waterman and george cole worked so well together.

It's on Five, so half the country can't watch it anyway. Lucky devils. :)
