John & Tom didn’t get on ……. Sounds a bit like this forum
I thought we got on wonderfully well. I am particularly popular on here.

No - I was definitely disinterested by that point - he kind of reminds me of Elfs for some reason

Dr Who used to be much watch TV, but like Bullseye etc it’s had its day.
Its peak years IMO were 1973 -1979, when Jon Pertwee and then Tom Baker were in their pomp.
No chalk pit in England was safe from a BBC Outside Camera Unit during that time.

I remember the Tom Baker scarves becoming very popular although at that point I was proudly wearing my Charlton scarf

I was an avid watcher. Have not watched it for years.
Non football, but as its international week.
Are there any fans of MINDER on here ?

You know full well Minder is my go-to show. It is simply the greatest programme ever made. I've been to the convention and met many of the cast, including Dennis, George and Glynn. I watch at least one episode every day.
If I had to pick one episode for a desert island, I'd go with Bounty Hunter, but that is the hardest decision, as they are all fantastic.
Forget the aberration of Shane Ritchie. That is anathema to us Minderists.
I thought you’d respond to this Ponders 
Like you, I am a true afficiando.
Series 2-5 are as good as it gets in terms of post war British drama. The acting, the scripts, the stellar casts …all competing with the incomparable George Cole.
Series 1 is good, but the show is still finding its way at this stage. The Ray ones (post Terry) are ok.
Anyone who loves London as I do can only cry looking back at that show, at the real London in its pomp.
Many of the episodes were filmed not far from me in “my manor” of Fulham , Hammersmith & West Ken.
Sad but also happy times watching them back now.

Dennis Waterman was blessed to feature prominently in two of the best TV titles of their respective eras;
The Sweeney (1970's)
Minder (1980's)
Now that television is changed beyond all recognition we will never see the like of those shows again.
Those genres, like good British comedy, are now consigned forever to history.

Both shows still feature on ITV4 every day.
Do you remember any of the characters in Minder Lardi ?
I’d have you down as Self Inflicted Sid
You’re doing a fine job Dick as did Lardy
