Minder SE8

Minder (1991) SE8 - EP9 The Greatest Show in Willesden [31st Oct 1991] Arthur and Monty Hinchcliffe book a former music hall act for the “British Volunteer” – retired ventriloquist ‘Professor Pickford and Mystic Micky’. The act goes down well with the punters – but Tommy Pickford suffers from heart trouble and can’t continue the act every night. Then some karaoke gear that Arthur’s rented from Mrs. Gabadini is stolen from his van. He sees dire consequences from admitting its loss to Mrs. Gabadini and her sons, but then Ray strikes lucky. He does a deal with dodgy wheeler-dealer club owner Barry to sell the karaoke machine, which he stole, to the Gabadinis. They reconise it as their own equipment, and Arthur is off the hook. (The episode title spoofs Dan Rice’s circus (1830s-1960s), first described by an Arkansas paper as ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’.) George Cole as Arthur Daley, Gary Webster as Ray Daley, Glynn Edwards as Dave Harris. Guest Stars: Steven O’Donnell as Barry the Barrel, John Cater as Tommy Pickford, Harry Landis as Monty Hinchcliffe, Frank Mills as Len, Pauline Letts as Mrs. Gabadini, Emma Cunningham as Gloria, James Ottaway as Percy.
