    Storyline

    Edit
    Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk are private detectives who specialize in divorce cases. Their long-running partnership seems to come to an abrupt end when Marty is killed by a hit-and-run, but Marty is soon back--as a ghost--to help solve his own murder. While he's doing it, he misses his chance to go to heaven, thanks to an ancient curse that states: "Before the sun shall rise, each ghost unto his grave must go. Cursed be the ghost who dares to stay and face the awful light of day." So Marty is stuck on Earth, as a white-suited spirit whom only Jeff can see, continuing their partnership and keeping (jealous) tabs on his wife/widow, Jean. —Marg Baskin <marg@asd.raytheon.ca>

    • Trivia
      Marty Hopkirk's white suit has no pockets as "ghosts don't need pockets".
    • Goofs
      In most of the shows with stunt and fight scenes, the stunt doubles are obvious to spot and never resemble the people they're doubling.

    Wonderful TV Nostalgia
    I saw all the episodes when originally aired in the late sixties / early seventies. To me, then it was unmissable TV (I cannot count the times that I refused invitations because Randall and Hopkirk is on tonight). Over the years the memories faded until I noticed that amazon were selling the complete series on DVD, I have just watched all 26 episodes again. I love the acting and the way the comedy in no way detracts from the serious private eye case in question, I just wish they had made more. The recent attempt at reviving this genre by making a new series was a good chance to carry on the work, but it was an awful re-make, in my opinion the characters were just not believable.

    As long as you don't expect too much from the low budget special effects department this series was Brilliant Stuff ! I will be watching it over and over.
