Name me a better British drama series than Minder 
Superbly acted (RIP George Cole & Glyn Edwardes

I'm currently working my way through the George and Mildred boxset. I can easily binge away a day on Some Mothers, Open All Hours, Reginald Perrin etc. Anything that reinforces my Englishness is always a perfect distraction to how bollocky this current age is.
I watched the classic “Grandad chandelier” episode of Only Fools recently.
“Brace yourself Rodney”
“Brace yourself Rodney”
Last year I visited the Only Fools pop-up exhibition on Southend Pier. They had over fifty original costumes from the shows (Grandad's literally brought a tear to my eye) and many other props, including Trigger's dolphin, Del's Filofax, and Rodney's skateboard from The Unlucky Winner Is...
And, as a bonus, they had Arthur's and Terry's outfits from Minder. I was in heaven.

And to think Minder and Only Fools were in their prime on TV at the same time 
Was he married to the actress from Hi-de-Hi! at that point?

No idea, put it this way, I saw him about 5 years ago with a woman a good 15 years younger than him.
