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.

I loved this show and the theme was very memorable indeed.
I picked up a dvd-r set of the full series from e-bay a while back but not had chance to watch it yet to see if it has stood the test of time.Comment
