Okay, going into Steve56 mode here, but does anyone recall this series from the 1970s? It was about a policeman (James Laurenson) who was an aborigone. I remember little about it except for some tribal dancing and paint. Typical of its time, though, in getting a white man to play a native Australian.

The lead singer had a great voice, but that sad wazzock with the dancing---No!

Bobby, the poncy dancer mimed his singing, it was don by professionals ala Milli Vanilli. Its well documented they mimed to backing tapes live. A fucking sham in MY book especially as they were happy to cash in on the poor cunts who PAID to see them.
Mind you Daddy Cool was an okay-ish song, as was Ma Baker.........not that I'll EVER admit it to anyone!!
