Dennis is an incredible actor. Watch his face and body language as it dawns on him that the shop keeper is not as other men. Also how he looks around the shop and even turns to see a customer entering.
There are so many though. The time Arthur went into hospital to get an in growing toenail trmoved. He's about to get a needle but is worried. The nurse says "it's just a little prick" and Terry responds "but he's got a lovely face".
"He's a raving iron" As a Scotsman I had to look it up (although I got the jist). Google says its cockney slang, short for "iron hoof" ie... I'm sure you can work it out. Brilliant script writing and acting 😂
The comedy is in Arthur's ignorance and the later nervous awkwardness he feels whenever he is around Jim...the way he suggests to Terry to say "just tell him you're normal" is probably the most shocking to watch today, alongside the 'iron' and 'poofter' comments. It certainly is dated, but then so was the Arthur Daley character's outlook on society and culture, and it's very funny to watch. Terry and Jim later had a mutual respect for each other once Tel got past his awkward homophobia and they spoke together over a cooked meal in a trusting client to hired hand way, while Arthur was still the same. If anyone is offended by this scene/episode, then so be it, but it was of it's time and needs to be viewed as such. Personally, I found it very funny indeed.
@@sunzuz8153 It's of now. People find coming out difficult still. And I don't think the "hired hand" would like to hear that description. Finally, it's just a comedy, a fantasy, which is what you really have not figured out. But then they don't have such things now do they? I imagine this program is a product of a culture you do not understand.
@@sommerwood2920 Way off. I've followed the series since I began watching it in 1989 and watched all the previous seasons on TV repeats and DVD sets, all the way through to the final series with Gary Webster. I typed an analysis of the story and how today might view it in some instances, while still considering it funny - obviously I know it's a comedy and one that I've enjoyed for years, so your windbag waffling is incorrect and pointless.
I kid you not, i kno a fella who defend me against my use of. "he may be an iron but he's me mate" he said. it makes me feel like I could do anything now pass me my babysham n lets get going . its a term I only use of a friend
Life was far simpler. Hilarious and no harm meant.
Just one of the greatest if not THE greatest scene ever

"Don't be ridiculous, an Iron?"
Brilliant delivery from George Cole.
Class just class .
That line never fails to crack me up
The way Arthur tries to put on a deep voice after terry said he was an Iron..lol
"Just say you're sorry but you're normal" Ooooffff....
“There’s thousands of ‘em about”..
“It’s not like you have to be a consulting adult “. 😂😂😂
I really miss these two great bloody team and definitely No Raving Iron
what if people find out im living with an iron absolutely brilliant
What a scene..Surely one of Minders best...Great upload.

Classic TV. Can't stop laughing.
Superb. Uncannily similar to the West London I grew up in.
Yes, much simpler times when you didn't have to think twice about every sentence you spoke in case you ' repressed ' someone.
" There's a spare bedroom he told me so..."
"He's a raving iron" As a Scotsman I had to look it up (although I got the jist). Google says its cockney slang, short for "iron hoof" ie... I'm sure you can work it out. Brilliant script writing and acting 😂
I always thought the slang for one of them was "horses hoof".
One of the top 3 shows ever!..The other 2 being the Sweeney and fools and horses!..r.i.p. Dennis!😥
Now this dialogue would really upset the snowflakes! 😂😂😂
They also cut the scene where Arthur first says to Terry that his mate lives with another guy and Terry goes " OOOH NICEEEEE"
the music and tv industry has declined .so bad
rip dennis waterman🙏🏼
"The little firm that's been busy at the demand"...haha
Who ever censored this genius scrip should be chucked in the Thames.....probably an 'Iron' these pernicious people cause discrimination.
livin case with jolly jim ..... ha ha ha ... classic!
Say you're sorry but you're normal. Class
😆😅😂
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL - couldn't stop laughing - Classic
David Daker is the ‘acquaintance’…. Daker did a classic performance in Doctor Who as Irongron! Bloody marvelous actor!
RIP Dennis. Let's hope you don't get reincarnated as a raving iron.
''no Wanda you called that mate o' yours a mian's mian''
