AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The telemovie that, two years later, spawned a television series.

The telemovie is ostensibly based on Arthur Upfield's character, Detective Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte. The protagonist is initially presented as a descendant of the original Upfield character but, following protests from Indigenous Australian groups, the role was modified and he became simply a white man who once lived with Indigenous Australians.

Neither the telemovie nor the series have any strong connection to Upfield's novels.

Notes

  • This series is not connected to the 1972-1973 Fauna Productions television series Boney, which starred James Laurensen as 'Boney.'
