This one comes fairly timely to me as I recently wrote an article on the subject and I thought it fitting that, as the person in question relates to a Minder episode, I should put together the connections for this first one of 2026. So episode 42 is The Lady and the Minder.
This relates to the final episode of series 2, Caught in the Act, Fact. Series 2 as I have mentioned before is my favourite overall and this was always an episode that intrigued me – it’s certainly one of the more unusual episodes. It’s more subtly amusing than straight out funny, in fact it has a pretty dark overtone as you will see.
We cover the original episode itself and then in the second part we examine the real life story which this episode relates to.
It’s all here, a terrific bird (well, two actually), the real life postal office robbery mentioned and the real life Lady who Lady Margaret Thompson was based on. We’ll even go into the locations used as these bring up many intriguing thoughts.
