At last!!! For the first time since I restarted (after SWMBO's ban) , I have managed to finish a puzzle. I was beginning to despair that I had lost the knack. The Bank Holiday puzzle was a real put down. I don't think I managed half of it. And (apart from 1 ac which I got straightaway) I struggled for a good while with this one. but a couple of anagrams (which I am quite good at) got me going and I have finished inside SWMBO's time limit.
Whew! And his Nibs's team won today (he felt he was out of form and might lose his place ). So all is well.

It was classic comedy drama. George Cole played the part of a dodgy spiv and Dennis Waterman was his bodyguard, hence the title 'Minder'. I don't know if they are still showing old episodes on the retro channels.
