Saturday night with the two Ronnie's with my dad, his only day off as a taxi driver and my mum went to bingo and he kept me stay up to watch them!

[@carlogambino1979]

@@Rogers1000 sounds like you had a good father. Mine on the other hand was an angry drunk. He was a long distance lorry driver and he only came home once weekend a month. When he came home he went drinking. Yeah we watched some TV shows as a family and movies like The Cannonball Run and Smokey and the Bandit and everything James Bond. But apart from them he preferred alcohol to his family.

Grew up watching Mr Elphick and a very young Neil Morrisey in Boon, and this was each weekend for a while, ahhhhh the 80's..... Possibly the finest and most creative decade of the last century of which I was born at the start, and without wishing it all away, I do wish I was a tad older to be fair so I could of enjoyed it a lot more than I did, but I am not unhappy either way 😊

[@ladyrider260]

I was born in the late 70s and often wish I was born a few years earlier for this reason.

[@jimbeckwith5949]

Always loved this song in the opening credits of Boon, with the wonderful Michael Elphick, my kinda man was Boon, someone who gets into muddles while doing his best to help others but wins through in the end... that shot of the shadow of Mike and the bike crossing a rainy nightime pavement always lives in my memory of the great 80s. What a fantastic and unusual voice Mr.D. possessed, sad to lose so underated a singer/songwriter.

[@ianmcclavin]

It was very seldom used during the closing credits of Boon, only a very small number of episodes had it at the end, which on one hand was a pity, but similarly provided an occasional "special treat" to finish off..!!
