I've recently been revisiting some old episodes of Minder on ITV4. In my view the series is one of the best bits of British television ever made and has the added joy of the occasional appearance of a recognisable bit of west London.

One thing I never knew until watching series 9 episode 5 is that Arthur Daley grew up in Brentford and was in a gang called the Brentford Backhanders. Is that the only reference in the show to his childhood or does it come up more often?
