This episode list gives brief descriptions and some other details of the episodes of the ITV television series '' Minder'', set in contemporary London.

He finds himself in the orbit of Arthur Daley ( George Cole), a middle-aged car salesman and self-described entrepreneur working on the edge of (and often beyond) the law in pursuit of a quick profit.

''Spyder's Web'' was a British crime drama television series produced by ATV for ITV and broadcast in 1972. It starred Anthony Ainley as Clive Hawksworth and Patricia Cutts as Charlotte "Lottie" Dean as two secret agents working for the mysterious Spyder organisation in the interests of the British government. Overview In common with many other such series of the time, ''Spyder's Web'' adopted an ironic approach to its subject matter.

(His response: "We were just good friends.") Five of the th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
