Minder, Give Us This Day Arthur Daley’s Bread, 1985
This year marks 180 years since the beginnings of the modern Harvest Festival so we thought we’d look back at some Harvest Festival themed comedy.
In the first of 3 posts we go back 38 years to the episode that kicked off Minder’s sixth series “Give Us This Day Arthur Daley’s Bread”
In this episode our Harvest Festival theme is an inner city Harvest Festival. Watch out for a guest appearance from Norman Eshley (Jeffrey Fourmile in George and Mildred).
Summary
When Arthur Daley meets a philanthropic vicar who runs a social club for ex-convicts he immediately draws up a plan to recruit them as cheap labour for his new landscape gardening business.
Alas, they are not only incompetent but they are also robbing local houses, hiding the loot at the church unbeknown to a trusting Vicar who thinks they have been colecting things for his Inner City Harvest Festival.
When Chisholm becomes suspicious, Arthur and Terry have to think fast.
