Shane linked to Minder revival
Minder is being revived by channel five with Shane Richie tipped to play Arthur Daley, writes Jonathan Donald.
Scripts are being written for a reworking of the ITV1 drama which ran from 1979 to 1994 about a Thatcherite second-hand car salesman, Daley, and his bodyguard Terry McCann.
"There has been a lot of interest in Richie's next big role after EastEnders and they think he would be perfect," a source told Broadcast.
George Cole starred as Daley and Dennis Waterman played Terry in the original - with Waterman singing the theme tune.
Waterman could have a role in the revival, it's rumoured. But Cole, 82, has said he's against a remake.
Daley was famous for catchphrases like "Terry, the world is your lobster" and called his wife "er indoors" though she was never seen. Waterman left in 1989 and was succeeded by Gary Webster as Daley's nephew Ray.
