The long ride back to scratchwood
29 July 2022
Terry and Arthur get involved with a young wide boy called Justin who puts his idol Arthur in touch with a failing footballer with connections in dodgy tickets.

Shades of an earlier minder episode in series 2 and we get some nice shots of Terry at the now defunct empire stadium , Wembley and also what I think is Leyton Orients ground.

They all head north to Scotland in a ridiculous battle bus van and Arthur inevitably by this point in full charge of affairs.

There are some good one liners and Mark Farmer playing Justin has good on screen presence with the main characters and he steals this episode.

The story is ok but not great and the series relied on its witty one liners by this point rather than the storylines.
