Patrick Malahide as DS Chisholm: Get Daley

Posted on November 15, 2015 by admin

Chisholm is typically a put-upon copper for whom nothing goes right. But, not always; sometimes he’s different.  Get Daley (S04E10) shows a more confident, dare I say menacing, Chisholm. He almost, but not quite, acts a bit of a bully. … Continue reading →

Patrick Malahide as DS Chisholm: Waiting for Goddard

Posted on April 20, 2014 by admin

OY!  It’s been a while since a Minder recap, and Waiting for Goddard is a good one.  Poor Chisholm falls prey to a spiv and almost uncovers a quasi-kidnapping.  At least he gets his tea and pie and yells “OY!” … Continue reading →
