When I heard that Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) was going to be remade for the 21st century with modern special effects, I couldn't wait. Then I read that Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer would be in it, I was salivating with anticipation. Then I saw it. Ah. Yes, some of it was very good (the special effects were as good as I'd anticipated) and having Tom Baker to act as Marty's spirit tutor was a clever move. But the scripts were rather, how do I put it politely, dull. This is as near as a Curate's Egg of a show as makes no odds. To sum up, if you want to escape with a GOOD drama, I can only recommend the original series with the fine Mike Pratt and the hugely under-rated Kenneth Cope.
