I never really understood why Terry in Minder appeared to be catnip for all the birds. He wasn't exactly sex on legs, was he?

Was listening to a drama on Radio with Dennis Waterman in (from the 1990s, I think), he basically was the same character. Had to do with Welsh people burning cottages- he was still catnip (birdnip?) though

Yes. It's quite possible that he wrote the thing, though. Which would explain how he was able to portray himself as irresistible to women.

I seem to remember he had a sitcom in the 80s/90s (where he wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune, natch) and in which he played a wealthy middle aged man who was hugely attractive to women.

Oh, that was terrific. Sam Kelly and dear old Joan Sims were in it.

He was quite good with the birds though - Rula Lenska aside

Wasn't there a whole comedy skit about Denis Waterman being involved in every element of every TV programme he was asked to appear in? Might have been Spitting Image

- He put up a fight it seems:

It was reported in January 2014, that Kelly had temporarily departed the production due to ill health, and that his replacement from 17 February 2014, would be Martyn Ellis. He was admitted to a hospice on 13 June 2014 and died early the next morning aged 70 after a long battle with cancer
