Prospects

[WhambamTYM]

Does anybody remember a tv series I think from the 1980's on Channel 4. It was called prospects I think and was based on two men living in London. I think they were a bit dodgy!! Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Yep. 1984/1985 on Channel 4 about two E/SE London wide boys, one black and one white. The black one was Brian Bovell - now DC Rob Thatcher in The Bill - who played Billy and the white one who played Pincy was the late lamented Gary Olsen. Would love to see it again if anyone from C4 reads this (also One Summer).

Ahhhh "One summer" that was fantastic.

Surprisingly few references to Prospects seem to appear on the web; this link has a smudgy picture! http://members.lycos.co.uk/nostalgiacentraluk/80st

I think that it was set on the Isle of Dogs and I seem to recollect that Pinceys character had a girlfriend who was always in it. The name Mona comes to mind - I've seen her in other things but can't remember her real name.
