Season 1, Episode 6: “Stebson Towers”

Sir Bernard Chumley and Tony visit Stebson Towers, the country retreat of Sir Elton John. This is the last stop for Chumley and Tony in their quest to find the golden potato and evade arrest. Finding the golden potato, Chumley and Tony disguise themselves as Elton and George Michael and end up on Later with Jools Holland singing ""I could be so good for you"", the Dennis Waterman-penned theme from Minder (cf Little Britain...). Guest stars include the ever-faithful David Foxxe as Elton, Paul Putner as George Michael (both these characters were being played by Matt and David in Rock Profiles at the time of broadcast). Rhys Thomas from Episode 5 returns as a policeman, as does "" Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart"" Nicholas Courtney (David is a huge Doctor Who fan, of course). Jools Holland plays himself.
