Welcome to the Ford Capri of Podcasts! The Minder Podcast is a show launched July 2021 in honour of the greatest television show of all time. We will be looking to people involved with the Terry McCann years for the earlier episodes and over time we will move through the years as well as including some offbeat shows from time to time. In time there might also be exclusive content for members of the (virtual) Winchester Club. Generally episodes will be available every month. I am your host Paul Stenning.

Episode 36 Whose Wife Is It Anyway? (Steptoe’s Iron Hoof)

Nov 28 2024 45 mins  
In this episode, we look at the classic episode Whose Wife Is It Anyway? from Series 2. This is, as you will know if you listen to the Top Ten episodes show, my favourite all time episode of Minder. I know it is for some of you too or at the very least, an episode you like a lot. I’ve wanted to do this one for a while and have been building up titbits here and there ready to get

Episode 35 – Dave Shanks (Location Manager) Interview

Oct 25 2024 76 mins  
In this episode we feature an interview with Location Manager of 13 Minder episodes, Dave Shanks. This is a great insight into behind the scenes of Minder and taught me a lot I had never heard before – I hope it will do the same for you. For the full episode description please visit Minderpodcast.co.uk.

Episode 34 – Robert Young Interview

Sep 12 2024 51 mins  
In this episode we feature an interview with director of four episodes, Robert Young. Robert directed the first episode of Series 3, Dead Men Do Tell Tales, and three episodes in Series 4: Senior Citizen Caine, High Drains Pilferer and Windows. As I explain to him, I did try to find him early on when I started this podcast and finally managed to find the right agent and luckily R

Episode 33 – Andrew Payne Tribute + mini Colin Prockter Interview

Aug 07 2024 25 mins  
In this episode we pay tribute to Andrew Payne and also give you a special exclusive mini interview with Colin Prockter who played Stevie in Series 2’s Caught in the Act, Fact (as well as Reggie in a later episode). I firstly wanted to tell you all about the new Minder annual which is currently out via Confessions Press. The annual is a real treat, very much in the style of the

Episode 32 – Stuart St. Paul Interview

Jun 24 2024 59 mins  
In this episode we feature an exclusive interview with Stuart St Paul who appeared in the classic Whose Wife Is It Anyway? from Series 2 of Minder. It was a small part but I could not resist speaking with Stuart as not only did he appear in one of – if not the – best of episodes, but he was also later the stuntman for Dennis Waterman in Stay Lucky. In fact Stuart started out a

Episode 31 - Nick Pearson Interview

May 08 2024 68 mins  
In this episode we speak to camera grip for 53 episodes of Minder, Nick Pearson. Nick was behind the camera and at the technical helm for many classic episodes – from the very first to the last in Series 5 – and as you would expect has some terrific insight into how it all came together. Some standout topics include working with the greats such as Roy Ward Baker, Robert Young

Episode 30 – Colin Farrell Interview

Apr 10 2024 51 mins  
Welcome to episode 30 of the minder podcast in association with minder.org. I remember when the UK Gold TV channel I first came out that I thought it was great that certain TV programmes were being recognised as classics. And UK Gold also featured some more obscure works that were good to see on TV for the first time. Why do I mention this? Well, because the first word I thought of

Episode 29 – Glynn Edwards Tribute

Mar 11 2024 44 mins  
Welcome to episode 29 of The Minder Podcast in association with minder.org. In this episode we bring you a tribute to a man without whom Minder would have looked very different indeed. What would Minder have been without Dave the barman? A very underrated part of the main trio which made Minder famous: Arthur, Terry and Dave, Glynn Edwards was by all accounts very similar to his ch

Episode 28 – Dennis Waterman Life and Times Interview 2000

Feb 05 2024 45 mins  
Happy new year to everyone. Hope you all had a great festive time. But now it’s back to work. In this episode we ease back in lightly with an interview with Dennis Waterman I came across recently which I had never seen before. It was given in 2000 in order to promote his book Reminder. You will most likely have heard our earlier episodes relating to Dennis; specifically episode

Episode 27 – Looking For Micky (A Krays Bedtime Story)

Nov 22 2023 42 mins  
This one is a little different as you will no doubt have seen. So what’s occurring, what’s this all about? Well, I have had a few requests for doing an episode deep dive and wasn’t sure if I wanted to start that process as it could become addictive. After all, there are 109 to play with. But sometimes you come across something that you didn’t expect from a surprising sou
