Synopsis
RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED) was a popular private detective series that ran from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The show starred Mike Pratt as Jeff Randall and Kenneth Cope as Marty Hopkirk, two private eyes whose partnership hits a snag in the first episode when Hopkirk is killed. However, Hopkirk returns as a ghost only Randall can see, in order to help solve his own murder. Unfortunately, he misses his opportunity to get into heaven while he's chasing down his killer and is thus doomed to walk the earth as white clad spectre who helps Randall on cases and spies on his widow. Features all 26 episodes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Network is the Business!, 31 Mar 2008
By CoogarUK (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have fond memories of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) as one of my earliest favourite TV programmes and the one which gave me my first on-screen 'girlfriend' - the beautiful Annette Andre.

Network certainly appear to have done the series proud with this SE Boxset.

On the episodes that I have already watched the picture quality is crisp and clear whilst the sound - although only mono - is also of good quality.

I have also read a good bit of the first booklet which contains production notes and the first instalment of the episode guides. I am happy to report that these are indeed extensive and sure to bring added value particularly to those viewers with an eye for detail who enjoy plenty of additional background information.

Although I have yet to watch any of the extras (aside from the stills galleries on the first 4 eps, which are very good and contain snippets from the fine original musical score) the list of these is mouth-watering and I eagerly look forward to watching them in due course.

If you have seen any of the re-runs of the show and prefer it to the Reeves & Mortimer remake of a few years ago (and let's face it, who wouldn't?) then this Special Edition Boxset of a complete and unedited cult TV Series from the late '60s / early '70s is definitely for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll WANT to believe in ghosts, 20 Aug 2007
By Dr. George L. Sik (Epsom, Surrey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It's very hard to go back to things you loved as a kid and still enjoy them. Old episodes of Doctor Who look laughable - you can tell the monsters are made of ping-pong balls and roofing felt, possibly in the Blue Peter studio. Alias Smith and Jones is an unthreatening ripoff of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Wacky Races? Every single episode is exactly the same - it's worse than Little Britain!

This, however, is special. Forget the desecration of this fine comedy-supernatural thriller-detective series by Vic and Bob. They just tried too hard, missing what those behind the new Doctor Who have achieved so spectacularly by a country mile.

What makes this series so good? Well, not all of it IS good - some of it is pretty awful - but when it works, it really works. The key actors are unsurpassed, the plots always inventive but perhaps the key to it all is the theme.

I don't believe in ghosts. I think Derek Acorah is a plonker. But this series, more than anything except perhaps the film The Sixth Sense, makes you WANT to believe in ghosts. The idea that a friendship can be so strong that it will endure beyond the grave is a compelling one - and that's what Jeff and Marty have got.

Long live Randall and Hopkirk! Well, one of them anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sleuthing with a Supernatural Sidekick!, 22 Dec 2007
By David Lusher (London England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A clever concept of a private eye haunted by his murdered partner who helps him solve crimes. Good cast and imaginative plots. Appears a little dated in places but still has good entertainment value with a good few laughs. A nice boxed set.
