Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The motorbike—a 1200cc Harley-Davidson—was Elphick's own, not props. He famously refused to ride anything else.
Boon invented the 'transatlantic western' format for British TV years before Life on Mars made it cool again. Ken's Lone Ranger obsession wasn't ironic—it was genuinely aspirational for Thatcher-era working men.
