Cowboys is a British television sitcom that aired on the ITV network during the early 1980s. The title refers to the British colloquial use of "cowboy" to describe a workman of doubtful professionalism e.g. a "cowboy builder".
Roy Kinnear starred as Joe Jones, the hapless owner of a small building firm. His inept employees include 'Wobbly' Ron (David Kelly), Geyser (Colin Welland) and Eric (James Wardroper). Debbie Linden appeared in Series 1 as Doreen, with Janine Duvitski taking over as Muriel in Series 2.
The show was created by Peter Learmouth who would go on to create Granada television sitcoms Surgical Spirit and Let Them Eat Cake.
