Ex-boxer Terry McCann (Denis Waterman) has spent some time in prison. Now he just wants to go straight and earn a reasonable living. He'll be lucky if he can do either working for the 'King of the Dodgy Deals', Arthur Daley (George Cole).
At the end of the seventh series, Terry moves to Australia and Arthur hires his nephew Ray Daley (Gary Webster) to be his new 'minder'.
A particular feature of this programme, which added phrases like "a nice little earner" to everyday English speech, was the impressive list of guest stars, which reads like a "Who's Who" of British actors and actresses.
