Minder (1993) SE9 - EP11 The Great Trilby [18th March 1993] A private detective, Bill McCabe, arrives from Australia to investigate a claim that Arthur is heir to a fortune left by a distant relative, Joshua Daley, who’s died intestate. Ray and Arthur carry out some genealogical research at the Family records Centre (then located at St. Catherine’s House and now merged with the National Archives), and also search parish records. They finally locate what appears to be clinching evidence of Arthur’s claim to be the last surviving descendant of the deceased’s family. But the executors require the inheritor to be ‘of good character’, and Arthur has just been charged with unauthorised use of parking infringement notices (Which are also forged). With big money at stake, Ray prevails upon DC Field to persuade DS Morley to drop the charges. On Arthur’s promise to pay a sum equivalent to the probable fine into police benevolent funds, Morley does so. Arthur and Ray receive business-class tickets to Australia to claim the inheritance. (The episode title spoofs the 1925 novel - and Subsequent film - ‘The Great Gatsby’.) George Cole as Arthur Daley, Gary Webster as Ray Daley, Glynn Edwards as Dave Harris. Guest stars: Simon Chilvers as Bill McCabe, Frank Baker as Spiky.
