The chemistry between Cole and Waterman made for one hell of an entertaining show!
"George Cole joked that he would like a bottle of whisky on his deathbed while Minder co-star Dennis Waterman reminisced that his late friend was 'happiest at home'. In his final hours, on-screen bodyguard Dennis was there again to look after and laugh with Arthur Daley actor George, who has died at the age of 90. The much-loved star passed away on Wednesday following a short illness. And playing for laughs like his on-screen character, George was still joking at the end of his life about getting another drink."

Thanks to Arthur Daley my wife is affectionately known as "her-indoors". Great show and really nice comments from Dennis Waterman who saw Cole a few days before he died. Dennis Waterman is looking pretty haggard as well. Life long smoker and with a beer to hand in the pic. From my late 60s/early 70s days in the car business Arthur and Terry were all too real. Quite a few of Arthur's equivalents plied the trade in Auckland in those days and there were quite a few Terry's in the shadowy parts of town as well.

Hey Tamarillo, were you really interested in that 407 I outbid you on this week? It sold for just over $4200. A lot of car for the money but I think i will buy an NZ new Nissan Maxima instead.

George was my best friend from primary schools days uncle. I can still remember every year my mate would get a birthday card from the UK with a 10 pound note from him. That was 45 years ago now.

Jeesh. You make it sound like they all grew old and karked it. Most of them just took a career shift into law, politics, real estate, and banking.
