21st century Minder series launched | | A new, fast-paced 21st century version of the TV classic Minder has been launched, starring Shane Richie as London wheeler-dealer Arthur Daley's nephew.
Richie plays Archie Daley, with Lex Shrapnel taking on the role of his minder, Jamie Cartwright in the show which will be screened on Five, but those behind it emphasised it is not a re-make. The original ITV show starred George Cole as Arthur Daley and Dennis Waterman as Terry McCann back in the 1980s.
The catchy theme tune, sung by the original minder Waterman, has been re-recorded by Glaswegian band Attic Lights and songs by indie bands Kasabian and Hard-Fi appear against a glossy London backdrop in the first episode of the new series, which was screened at the show's launch in a pub in London's Borough High Street.
