70's/80's tv show about a couple of wide boys

[bluejay]

hi, i'm hoping somebody out there can help me. i'm trying to found out the name of a tv show that used to be on. not sure if it's late 70's or early 80's. it was about two young lads, set in london and they were like wideboy types. one was white and one was black. i thought the white lad might have been a young ray winstone, but i can't find anything on his biography,so maybe it just looked like him. i think they used to drive around in some sort of a hearse. that's all i can remember. not sure if it was a kids show or just a general comedy drama type programme. i know i've not give much to go on,but hopefully someone will know what i'm rattling on about. fingers crossed! cheers,bluejay.

This series was very good but for some reason channel 4 never repeated it,i managed to get a copy on dvd a few years back.

The white lad was the late Gary Olsen who was in 2.4 children. The black lad was Brian Bovell who has been in The Bill and more recently Hollyoaks

Not to mention playing the unfortunate recipient of Linda's lust in Gimme gimme gimme!

I do vaguely remember Prospects and I certainly remember the theme tune.
