Actually, Robert Redford had to actually DO something to get women in movies. Dennis Waterman, a very plain looking guy who is balding, on both The Sweeney and Minder, does nothing at all and not only "swims in women" but is "molded in models". And he does nothing at all.
That's England for ya. Ugly or average looking men with gorgeous dames. And MINDER is a good show, and started out with Waterman the star and then wound up being George Cole's thing: The latter plays a con artist while the title character protects people for money, and gets ripped off each time...
It's funny and yet the crime element overrides the quirky humor. Works well. That is, as long as Waterman was on the series. Waterman and all his birds.
