Classic! The original Minder theme tune

[keithmcneill55]

Around this time, I had an uncle who was the spitting image of Dennis Waterman, and who didn't always stay on the right side of the law. To our amusement, one weekend he even went out and bought himself a Ford Capri. Ahh, the good old eighties, miss those days so much x

[nicelydone31]

apparently i was a terry fan since i always seemed to say him name as a kid. dont remember that but do remember having big crush on dempsey from dempsey and makepiece, lol

[adamorganic006]

you have to have been around at the time, i was living in london, a teenager and it just brings back good times. brassy women, smokey boozers, huge slice of london life not the pc world we now live in... blokes where geezers , birds were birds not like the nonces blokes are now and women now who want to be blokes taking there ungrateful kids down to weatherspoons. bring back 80,s they where good times, great tv, the fear, prospects, sweeney. 

[SenhorBundy]

So they want me to star in it, write the feem toon, sing the feem toon?

[nicelydone31]

@SenhorBundy theme tune

[feckingbillgates]

Could do without the advert you put at the start (sigh) but thanks for uploading.

[LMAO]

@feckingbillgates It's youtube that put the adverts up you silly sausage

[feckingbillgates]

@LMAO Doesn't happen if you don't take money from them :-)

[supergill82]

look if you dont like classic tv programes or their theme songs why do you go looking them up on here just to put rubbish comments on them

[SiouxHogg]

So...they want me to star in it...write de feem toon, sing de feem toon?

[DEXDNE]

All repect to George Cole, and waterman who was good in the Sweeney, if not particularly likeable, this show was tosh! it made no sense at all, why would Daley need a minder anyway? And if he did why pick 5ft nuffin waterman? i know its nostalgia,, but it's Bollocks!

[TheMarkc]

@DEXDNE i cud b so good for yooo

[nicelydone31]

@DEXDNE he needed a minder cos he was a dodgy bastard and people were after him, and terry had the credentials cos as you see in the credits he is an ex con and a champion boxer, but i do get what you are saying

[DEXDNE]

Awful, just awful!

[MARKSWALES42]

[leestaton1]

[RNC200707]

A true 80's classic

Waterman and Cole were a great team and when I was a kid Terry was an icon to me......lol

[petgall2]

Best programme to emerge from the eighties.

Minder best ever commedy drama ever from euston films

[wartarot]

Great show that CBC aired when I was a kid but I've never seen any DVDs of it released in North America.

Acorn Media, are you listening?

[dededetc]

catchy tune

[jimzy29]

Best Show ever Dude,love it!!!!

[royalcollage]

no its not the same car mate,,,,,just got the box set with the minder films in it,sweet

[Vennegoor10]

Is the box set worth it? Was thinking of buying it as a Christmas present for my brother.

[blakefish80]

I met one of my heroes the other day. The Guitarist from Blur (Graham Coxon). He was a relly cool bloke. We had a good 15 minuite chat and at the end i shook his hand. He was standing on the other side of this really swanky new model Jag and we shook hands over the bonnet. "It's like a scene out of minder" he said. LOL. I nearly pissed laughing. Top programme. I never saw the newer ones with Shane Ritchy. The originals are top class though.

[jerzeymick]

why isnt this available on bbc america ,compared to some of the crap they,ve on there ??

[DJEdSaunders]

It was on ITV not the BBC.....

[jerzeymick]

@DJEdSaunders i was talking about BBC AMERICA NOT UK ,OR IRELAND ,THERES A CHANNEL IN THE STATES CALLED BBC AMERICA THEY NEVER SHOW ANYTHING GOOD ON  THERE IS WHAT I MENT ,

[flapford]

not only that, bbc america show stuff from itv anyway.

[MRASISEEIT]

great stuff

[MrClarky1961]

escort harrier mint mk2 limited edition

[dnbhead1]

hahah this tune puts me in stiches everytime

[BlakeVII]

One of the best british shows... ever!!!

The tune was its signature.

When the opening bars to the tune played I would stop what I was doing and just watch it, even when I was doing my homework from school.

[2litresierra]

he should of bought the X-pack mk2 escort in the background

[paoloblanc]

is this the same car that Doyle drove in some episodes of the professionals?

[byronmills]

@2litresierra The escort in the background was originally built for terrry to drive around in the series...but at the last minute the production team considered it to be too flash. It was a geniune 1600 sport - factory fitted from new with the x pack kit - and fitted with mildly tuned rs2000 engine. Its registation number was bpu911t and throughout the 1980's resided in the swansea and neath area in south wales - it was a cracking car.

[chrisbitz]

@byronmills IT's interesting, I always thought that was an Escort Harrier, but as it turns out, it's very similar, but not even close on closer inspection! you only need to search google to compare the harrier to this one.

[AaronJohnson1]

How hot is the Escort in the background! That Terry's a right prat for not buying that over the Capri.

[cartoonfan1920s]

Thats one cool thing about the original minder it has neat 1970s/80s cars.

[BlakeVII]

hahahahaha... I thought the Escort was abit alright, too.

For years I thought that. lol

[Edivision]

People stop hating each other & just try to enjoy the clip.

[VictoriaKrueger1428]

the new one tune was a train reck and so wa\s the series. The classic will always be the best and should never be forgotten.

[DippShits]

The new version was just WRONG!

Shane Ritchie was bigger than the "Minder" - not a problem if he was a Martial Artist or "tasty" boxer but he was just a puny taxi driver. BAD CASTING.

[3KATE33]

WOW

[holysmoke45]

yortsandthat.. you sound like 'Frank' in Harry Enfield and chums.. or you hav'nt heard of Harry Enfield as well? write the Feem toon  sing the Feem toon i like it QFI .. He did the same 'on the up as well. hahahahhaaha.. do do do do .

[fairclought7]

only the original minder is worth watching, once terry left it just wasn't the same.

[fairclought7]

i love all the old shows from minder to the Sweeney and of course the professionals, 37 to 45!!!

[waster332]

love me like you want me 2

[goonercrs]

brilliant i can be so good for you

[Kristnt]

Classic

[QFIhawkman]

He writes the feem toon, sings the feem toon.

[yortsandthat]

What the fuck are you on about FEEM TOON? Get back to school!

[QFIhawkman]

*Sigh*. Clearly it's gone over your head... watch the Little Britain sketch with the tiny Dennis Waterman, you'll finally get my point. I don't need to get back to school, I'm perfectly articulate. Perhaps you need a lesson in irony though. ;-)

[yortsandthat]

Little Who????It's probably some PC shite watched by a handful of people, where as MINDER was and still is loved by millions!

[GaarasTrueFriend]

I hate the new Minder they have done a horrible job and they killed the theme. I love the good classic one anyday.

[johnny45irish]

better than the fucking remake by millieniums.

[rajaboy]

By far the best series. I could be so good for you, LOL When I was little I thought he said I cook pizza good for you

[BlakeVII]

hahaha silly boy.

[ffjkhguhgft]

SHEER CLASS!

No more to be said.

See you all in t"he Winchester" for a large G&T!

On the slate of course!!!

[TheophilusPWildbeest]

You mean a large V.A.T.

(Arthurs respectful tribute to the taxman)

[BlakeVII]

Don't mind if I do. Make mine a rum 'n' coke, Arthur

[sfordcar]

The best series ever!

[0ua812]

God this is crap!Same thing over and over...arthur gets in trouble..terry gets beaten up ..or shagged...Crap..Don't bring it back!!!

[gingerbourbon]

Ah, my nipples! They hurt! They hurt when I twist them!

[homewood53]

Why the hell am I watching this when I can see it repeated three times a day on UK Gold at the moment. I can't beleive I clicked on it!!!! Arghhh. Good in its day though.
