I have it in my head that there was a TV programme I watched as a kid in the early seventies, that featured an Australian Aboriginal boy, who wandered about the outback having adventures.
I also have it in my head that it was called Boney, or Bonio......though Google only comes out with the dog food for the latter, and the Australian cop-show for the former (which ironically did feature a half-aboriginal in the title role).
I've asked a mate about this, and this show (I'm doing a terrible job of describing) rings a bell with him also, but he can't remember much more than me.
As best I can recall (and there's every chance that the show is not called anything like Boney or Bonio) I'm pretty sure this programme had a one-word name. It was also very random......not something you would tune into at the same time every weekend. I seem to remember it only being on TV very sporadically - and not very often at all, in fact.......a bit like the old German-dubbed Robinson Crusoe black-and-white number they had a round the same time....though on telly even less frequently than that. I may only have seen three or four episodes in total (and half those fuckers might have been repeats).
Does any of this nonsense resonate at all with any of our older and wiser members. Or am I certifiable?
