Arthur Daley was a legendary British TV character from the eighties. He was a lovable rogue from London, always buying and selling things, usually with a somewhat dodgy history (ie stolen?). He wore a trilby hat and a camel coat and always smoked a big cigar.
He often got into scrapes with the law and gangsters and relied on his "Minder" Terry to rescue him. A very funny show, regrettably now only seen on cable/satellite. Can you get UK Gold in France?
