The Minder Podcast

Welcome to episode 5 of the Minder Podcast in association with Minder.org.

This is part two of an interview with Gennie Nevinson, the actress  who played Terry’s girlfriend Penny, or Penny Flyme, in the programme.

Over the course of four episodes Gennie became a firm favourite in Minder.

She is also well known for a starring role in Muriel’s Wedding as well as many appearances in Home and Away and Zoo Family. She has also appeared in The Bill, Babe (voicing a sheep) and Star Cops.

In this episode Gennie talks about the perils of casting especially as an actress who looks much younger than her age.

We also talk about working with Diana Malin, who played another of Terry’s regular birds, Debbie, and ponder over what happened to her after Minder.

A couple of points on the show.

Firstly, as with the last interview with Gennie, the sound is  slightly below average standard due to a technical hitch and Gennie  having to record the interview on her mobile.

I should also remind you that once again we have what might be termed explicit material due to a naughty word.

Lastly, another sound hitch meant that twice when we were talking about Anthony Valentine (who  played Maurice in the show), there was a jump and the lead up to the  topic was missed. So when Gennie mentions he was gorgeous, she is  talking about Mr Valentine. We also mention his passing in 2015.

For more on Gennie visit her website or to hear her regular radio show visit Rhema.CC.

It’s a great pleasure to feature the wonderful Gennie Nevinson who played Penny in the series.

She has also 55 acting credits to her name including both film and television – most notably Muriel’s Wedding, Star Cops, Babe, Zoo Family and Home and Away.

In this, our first slightly explicit interview (Gennie swears every  now and then), we feature in-depth revelations about Dennis Waterman and  George Cole from behind the scenes.

Please forgive the slight issue in sound quality, we were speaking  from Australia to Cyprus on Gennie’s mobile due to technical issues her  side.

Outro: Not A Bad Lad, Dad episode soundtrack

Welcome to the third episode of the Minder Podcast in association with Minder.org.

It is a pleasure to feature an interview with a songwriting legend and the man responsible for the music behind one of television’s greatest ever themes: ‘I Could Be So Good For You’. We welcome Gerard Kenny to the podcast. 

Gerard has composed music for Barry Manilow, Shirley Bassey, James Last, Johnny Mathis (plus several others) as well as, of course, Dennis Waterman.

Gerard talks about the process behind the creation of the song, which became the theme.

He also reveals intimate knowledge of both Dennis and George Cole from behind the scenes.
