Boon was a popular UK TV series between 1986-1995.
The Classic Theme Song 'Hi Ho Silver' is Sang By The Late Jim Diamond.
Here is most of the re occurring cast and characters.
Life goes on and will always move forward but nostalgia is such a strong emotion and is a sentimental longing and affection for a period in the past, especially when it's a reflection of loved ones that have gone.
Be kind, keep smiling...and enjoy the journey.
Lookout for the very last scene at the end.

Growing up in the 70s n 80's as a kid to teen was the best time to grow up. No tech 70s but a better more sociable time and kids played outside with a number of games and used their imagination... then BANG the 80s hit and computers microwaves electronic games we're another option for this many rainy days. Trouble is that the tech ball started rolling in the 80s but never stopped rolling. Tech was a choice in the 80s, now its a necessity and creates tech zombification.

I remember I was about 9 years old and was lucky enough to have a TV in my room and my parents used to let me stay up to watch it every week. Of course at that age I never properly appreciated the storylines or remember them but I remember watching him on his motorbike every week. My parents really gave me privileges a lot of other children didn't have, bless em. Proper childhood memories for me.

I met saksia Wickham once at the national theatre. Being a totally obsessed fan I could not help but stump up to the receptionist and ask if I can have a word with saskia. I told her was a fan and she might know me. Cut short , she comes down , takes me back stage and hung out for half hour till she had to go back on .- best time I ever spent. She was absolutely fking gorgeous .

Well done with this little blast down memory lane, I love 'Hi Ho Silver', loved the show, special shout out to Jim Diamond who sang the sound track, i also loved 'I won't let you down' by PHD fronted by Jim Diamond. Boon reminds me of winter back in the 80's, i used to have a 36 mile round trip to work on my motorbike, some very cold, very early morning starts, this takes me right back there, a cold sentimental sadness

BOON was one of so many TV Series & Films I got to work on over the years, with great fellow Cast members, like David Daker,(who I had worked with Before when I was a Child Actor in the 1970's), & Neil Morrissey, Lesley Anne Sharpe, being especially nice to work with, and chat to between filming, sadly all these years on I can't recall the Episode Title or number, as I did a lot of work in the 1980's, only that we were filming on Location, and I had a "Walk-On 1", part so not listed on the Cast Credits this time, Michael Elphick was not as friendly as the rest of the cast, but I recall he said he did not like Motor bikes, and could not ride one, when I asked him why he had a "Stand In" rider for him, I thought it may have been for insurance purposes in case of an accident, Interestingly When i worked on 2 Episodes of DR WHO in 1989 Sylvester McCoy & Will Barton Had Stunt Doubles do the Motor bike Scenes too, and close up shots with Crew Members pushing the bike past Camera.as Sylvester sat on it.

Hi Ho Silver this was one of the best long running British TV shows made in the 1980's. Michael Elphick was fantastic as ex fireman Ken Boon - used to watch him in this and the comedy series Three up, Two Down. This theme by the late Neil Diamond 💎 is real classic. They don't make them like the used to.

It's like it was it's own decade fashion and musically speaking. Especially in the UK I think. If that makes any sense.
