50 YEARS AGO TODAY: foreshadowing is a literary device which...

if only john thaw could have been in a episode of minder that would have been good 🤪

Blimey. Somehow I never knew about this, and Minder is one of my all-time favourites. I've seen a lot of The Sweeney too, yet somehow this episodi passed me by. I'm going to have to track it down asap. Thank you for posting this.

Three years before Minder George Cole guested in The Sweeney

The John Hurt character was getting revenge on the George Cole character for sacking him

Wait I thought Taylor Swift invented foreshadowing

They had both appeared together in the 1971 horror film 'Fright', ironically though as George's character stepping over Dennis's deceased character!
