bony on tv
From 1972 - 1973 a 26-episode television series was produced by Fauna
Productions with New Zealand actor James Laurenson in the lead.
The series was called Boney, perhaps reflecting Upfield's original intention.
During the 1970s most of the tv-tie-in books had the spelling altered to ‘Boney’ on the covers while retaining the original 'Bony' in the text. None of the 26 episodes is available on DVD; but we are working on it and full details will be exclusive to this site.
