R is for Randall and Hopkirk

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) was an unorthodox but light-hearted detective show that satisfied my interest in quirky or offbeat TV series. Drawing on earlier works such as 'Blithe Spirit' and 'Topper' for inspiration, the show still has a strong fan following despite only lasting for one season. A remake followed in 2000 and a further US version is currently in preparation.

G is for Ghost (Randall & Hopkirk)

"Only You Jeff, Only You"

'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)' was a late 1960s British TV series which starred Mike Pratt and Kenneth Cope as the private detectives Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk. The series explored new ground as the show's first episode saw Hopkirk murdered in the line of duty, returning as a white-suited ghost that only Randall was able to see or hear. The show was one of the ITC shows that dominated Sixties' TV in the UK, and was one of the better offerings. Only one series of 26 episodes was shot, however the show was repeated many times. A remake was made in 2000 starring British comedy duo Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, but it's the original show I remember most fondly.
