    Can anyone remember a series where him & a coloured kid were a couple of spivs?

    I think it was early eighties & may have been set in Birmingham or Manchester, Channel 4 I think.

    Yes - it was "Prospects" (1986) with the equally brilliant (IMO) Brian Bovell; excellent series.

    I remember 'Prospects' and I used to enjoy 'Two point four children'. I thought it was very funny and inventive in parts..I loved the way they also used a bit of magical realism dotted about..sometimes without any real explanation (but what was that strange entity that used to follow them around from time to time?)



    I haven't been able to watch the repeats since he died. I think it is like that with actors you have followed since you were quite young. It feels like a horrible loss and he was so young too - it was quite shocking.
