Programme
Outline
Jeff Randall and Marty
Hopkirk are Private Detectives until their partnership seemed to be over,courtesy
of a fatal hit and run accident involving Marty.
But that would not
have made the series very interesting,so Marty came back as a ghost to
help his living colleague to continue solving the various cases that they
took on.
Jean kept her position
as agency secretary even though she was widowed,and throughout the series
we see Marty's attempts to contact her.(Failing every time!)
The only person that
could communicate with Marty was Jeff,and we would frequently see Jeff
talking to Marty,and then see it from an observers point of view and see
Jeff apparently talking to himself.
Marty would help Jeff
sometimes with his ghostly powers,such as sudden gusts of wind coming from
nowhere etc.
So this was the basic
outline of the series,which lasted for one season only of 26 episodes.
THE NEW SERIES WAS SHOWN ON BBC1 ON SATURDAY
18TH MARCH 2000,STARRING VIC REEVES AND BOB MORTIMER AS MARTY AND JEFF.
