    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?

    He was a real man, see? In an age of long-haired Herberts, pooves and layabouts, you knew ehere you stood with Terry. Nosh him off, make him his tea, lovely jubbly.

    I liked how all his fights with quasi-gangster types were settled with fists. No-one ever even tried to kick him in the balls, let alone stab him or shoot him.

    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.
