Bony 

is an Australian television series made in 1992. The series of 13 episodes followed on from a
telemovie made in 1990. The series was criticised for casting a white man (Cameron Daddo) as the
title character Detective David John "Bony" Bonaparte, under the tutelage of "Uncle Albert", an
elderly Aborigine played by Burnum Burnum. Bony was supposed to be a descendant of
the Bony character created by Arthur Upfield in dozens of novels from the late 1920s until his death
in 1964.[1]
