A minder is a person assigned to guide or escort a visitor, or to provide protection to somebody, or to otherwise assist or take care of something, i.e. a person who "minds".
Government appointed persons to accompany foreign visitors are often termed minders, assigned to offer assistance such as acting as a guide or as a translator, or protection in dangerous areas, or to define areas of permitted travel. Often they are perceived as also attempting to censor or otherwise control the flow of information to the visitor.
Minders can also be personal bodyguards or protectors, either in an official capacity such as protecting celebrities or VIPs, or in an unofficial capacity as a protector of members of the criminal underworld, as described by the UK television series Minder.
A minder can also be a term for anyone who looks after the interests of someone or something, such as a talent manager, a caretaker, or a person that ensures that a certain official protocol or plan is adhered to by others, or someone that is designated to look after someone who needs assistance (c.f UK English: Child minder for nanny).

An Officer and a Car Salesman is a comedy/thriller television film made in 1988 as a spin-off from the successful television series Minder. It was first broadcast on 26 December (Boxing Day) 1988. It falls between Series 6 and Series 7 of Minder, but, like Minder on the Orient Express, which preceded it, it follows a stand-alone storyline. It was the last appearance of Patrick Malahide as Chisholm.

Liquor burns my tongue
It stings to count to three and look to see a hand upon your waist
But he holds you like he should
Graceful, gliding, glimpse of a lover's kiss
Another round of ale, an I don't believe this
Movements of a demigod
We're caught in a waltz and I hope we dance forever
A dream from which we'll never part
And awake from your arms, I'd never, ever, ever baby
He whispers in your ear
From what I see it turns you on
Sends shivers down your back, like the violin runs
graceful, gliding, glimpse of a lover's touch
I can dance with my gloves on, I think this has gone far enough
Movements of a demigod
We're caught in a waltz and I hope we dance forever
A dream from which we'll never part
And awake from your arms, I'd never, ever, ever oh
Watch your steps and count to three [x2]
Stare across the room with careful scurtiny
Assess the situation
Proof is what I need, to show that I'm a man
I know just what I want, and have the liquid confidence to show her what I've got
The man that never care, that never bottled up and hid from all the feelings that he had, and all the
things he never did
I stop my slurring speech and expect the best reply
"will you dance before the night ends, just one more time?"
Adrenaline, the confirmation, losing to the charm..In my arms
Movements of a demigod
We're caught in a waltz and I hope we dance forever
A dream from which we'll never part
