“Iu0026#39;ve only seen three episodes of *Randall and Hopkirk, Deceased* on BBCAmerica, but so far I ***love*** it. This is a VERY funny show, yet the humor (unlike most comedies, these days) comes from the situation–not at the expense of the characters. These characters are LIKABLE–Jeff Randall is sweet, and lovable, and very much someone youu0026#39;d like to see happy and successful. But Jeff has a problem–heu0026#39;s an INCOMPETENT detective, whou0026#39;s partner is now dead, and haunts him as a ghost. As ghoulish as the concept sounds, itu0026#39;s actually a very funny series–one sympathises a lot with Jeff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMarty, Jeffu0026#39;s now dead partner brings a great deal of energy to his part–heu0026#39;s a ghost who needs training wheels, since he hasnu0026#39;t quite got the hang of things yet. Tom Baker plays, Wyrvnn (and I know thatu0026#39;s probably spelled wrong)–a spirit who is trying to teach Marty the ropes of being a ghost.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThen thereu0026#39;s Jeannie–Martyu0026#39;s fiancée (Marty died on their wedding day). Jeffu0026#39;s falling in love with her; but neither wants to betray Martyu0026#39;s memory.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJeannie cannot see Marty–only Jeff can. Jeannie has also maneuvered her way into Jeffu0026#39;s business, becoming his new detective-partner. (Jeannie is, at least, much more competent at detective work than either Jeff or Marty).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway–great series, lots of fun. Extremely funny, but with sympathetic characters. Definitely a winner! Oh, and it *is* a re-make of a late 60s/early 70s series–but Iu0026#39;ve never seen that version, so I canu0026#39;t comment on it.”
