EPISODE 45 – JONATHAN KYDD INTERVIEW<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Episode 45 of The Minder Podcast in association with minder.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not realise but Jonathan Kydd appeared in three Minder episodes, just a few short appearances in Broken Arrow and Minder on the Orient Express no less. The largest part however and the one you will certainly remember him for is A Number of Old Wives Tales. Now this is a true Minder classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a unique episode, written by Tony Hoare, directed by Francis Megahy and based around the exploits of Confident Clive \u2013 played by Patrick Mower \u2013 who is a serial bigamist. It\u2019s one of the most amusing Minder episodes in some ways but there is also an air of tension given Clive\u2019s tendency to upset both the women and their families with his addiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a great cast for the episode including Gary Holton, Sue Holderness, Kate Williams, Kenneth Waller and Vivienne Ritchie. Not to mention an episode which also includes Ray Winstone, Patrick Malahide and Meic Povey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Kydd features as one of two brothers and is responsible for the great tension built up from himself and Gary Holton. He tells us some gems about working on the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also some revelations from inside the business, how people change when fame gets to their heads, but also how some remain gentlemen despite their immense fame. And who would have thought that Confident Clive was a nice guy in real life? As I mention in this episode, I came across a great photo featuring Patrick Mower. Remember the Barratt helicopter days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My interview with Jonathan is a little different to the norm in that Jonathan\u2019s answers have been recorded following me sending questions through email. We were going to originally speak as normal over Zoom but when he told me he had just had a third child, a few voice jobs and was directing a radio drama I thought it better to go this way so that nothing got cancelled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I read the questions or prompts and Jonathan answers. It’s different but was well worth it to feature such a tremendous character. Thanks Jonathan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
