Chatting away in the office, as we do, and the conversation turned to old TV series.
Those of a certain age may well remember an ocker series called Bony.
Bony was an abbo cop, played by a white man, who used magic and jou jou to solve crimes.
I think it was about 1970.
Anyone else remember this?
(I seem to remember one episode where a plane landed without a pilot).

Do you mean Boney by any chance?

Maybe.
Perhaps I just can't spell!
I just found this.[^]

Those clothes were vicious!
And I noticed Nick Tate was there (Eagle Pilot from Space 1999).
Yeah, I remember it well now.
Here[^] he is without the make-up.

Wouldn't get aired for that reason now. I don't remember it, though I was reminiscing after Metal Mickey the other day.

That happens all the time now. Must be magic...

You'd be surprised by the number of white skinned people collecting aboriginal handouts in Oz. Or maybe you wouldn't coming from a welfare state!
And yes I remember it, was not very successful IIRC, but I was interested in other things than TV in the 70s!

I must admit I have a low opinion of the nanny state and especially the way some sectors are coddled!

Sir David of Dalek,
In addition to the YouTube link you posted, see this: [^].
It's a 7 minute 40 second Boney segment (?). From the episode (1972): "Boney and the Payback Killer."

"What do humans depend on: words ! We're suspended in language: we can never say what's up: or, down.
We must communicate experience and ideas, but in ways that do not become ambiguous, and lose objectivity.
For parallels in human ideas to quantum theory: we must turn to psychology, or to the paradoxes of being thinkers like Buddha and Lao Tzu illuminated, when trying to grasp reality, as both observer, and actor, in human life's small-scale micro-cosmic drama."
Niels Bohr, 1937
