BOON
Boon was a popular ITV drama based in Birmingham, then Nottingham, starring Michael Elphick as Ken Boon, an ex firemen turned private detective, courier and minder!
David Daker also starred as Ken's old friend Harry Crawford - from his days in the fire service, and Neil Morrissey, in his first major TV role, played the daffy Rocky.
