While the very first episode of Minder 'Gunfight At the OK Launderette' was a bit off-piste, the second 'Waltham Green' is an altogether lighter, funnier, and more enjoyable affair. Terry McCann is assigned to mind a newly released prisoner who is now eager to collect his ill gotten gains; unfortunately for them a couple of rather tasty firms are also out to get the loot - there follows a terrific episode full of twists & turns and some great one liners.
The magical chemistry between George Cole and Dennis Waterman is apparent from the start, and although they, Nicky Henson and Kenneth Cope are all very good, i think Ann Lynn upstages everyone as a gangster's moll, a performance which earned her a well deserved encore in series two.
In terms of style and humour i think 'Bury My Half at Waltham Green' set the tone for everything that followed.
