Boon is a British television drama starring Michael Elphick, David Daker, and later Neil Morrissey. It was created by Jim Hill and Bill Stair and filmed by Central Television for ITV, and was originally broadcast between 1986 and 1995.[1] It revolved around the life of an ex-fireman called Ken Boon,[2] - a motorcycle-obsessed small time businessman who at the same time acts as a private investigator, bodyguard and general troubleshooter. Since 16 January 2017 it has been rerun on UKTV channel Drama. The first two series are currently streaming on BritBox.
The show was memorable for its theme tune - "Hi Ho Silver" by Scottish singer Jim Diamond, which became a UK top ten hit single in 1986.
