Watched a little harmless fantasy on BBC America tonight, [b][i]Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).[/i][/b] Your basic buddy detective show with the twist is that Hopkirk was murdered in the first episode and comes back as a ghost. And “[i]Who[/i]” 😆 should show up in the second ep in a Mr. Jordan role but Tom Baker, sans scarf. I don’t know if he was hamming it up for his fans, but he played it much like he was still gallivanting about the cosmos in a Tardis.
The show itself isn’t bad. As I said above, it is a harmless fantasy. Apparently it is a remake of a 1960s BBC series. 🙂
[b]Edit…[/b]
Apparently the good doctor will be a regular. Here is the scoop from http://www.bbcamerican.com…
[quote]Jeff Randall (Bob Mortimer, Shooting Stars) and Marty Hopkirk (Vic Reeves, Shooting Stars) are detective partners with a unique working relationship – one of them is a ghost.
Murdered in episode one, Marty Hopkirk returns as a white-suited ghost, only visible to his ex-partner, Jeff Randall. Together they continue to solve bizarre and surreal mysteries.
Helping to run the investigation business is Hopkirk’s ex-fiancee, Jeannie (Emilia Fox, The Pianist, Coupling), and his spiritual mentor, Wyvern (Tom Baker, Dr. Who). The unlikely trio take on everything from haunted hotels to kidnapping and suspicious suicides.
