Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
BritanniaRules "Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)" is a fine remake of the original late 60's/early 70's supernatural show. Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer do very well in their roles of private detectives Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk.The special effects are brilliant. The story lines are original and captivating. This remake is every bit as enjoyable and thrilling as the original series.I believe that the high point of this series is Tom Baker as Prof. Wyvern, who helps Marty Hopkirk adjust to his new situation as a ghost. As always, Tom Baker is an asset to any show. He brings his own particular brand of eccentric humour to all of his comedic roles.If you like supernatural story lines mixed with a hearty dose of humour, you'll love this show.
JohnOD I loved the old Randall and Hopkirk, and while Vic does a pretty good job as cheeky dead Marty, Bob Mortimer simply cannot act, and this gets in the way of the story. The special effects tend to take over a bit, and Charlie Higson's cameo in every episode of the second series is superciliously annoying. In short, it's pretty and unchallenging eye-candy. It'll go down a storm in America, once they dub the voices, of course
Quantrail I think that this show, while not brilliant, is highly entertaining. I could quite happily spend the whole day just watching this funny and class show. Bob Mortimer, while looking uncomfortable in some scenes, is a brilliant Jeff Randall and Vic Reeves as Marty Hopkirk is an excellent choice. He has the right childish attitude to play the part of a bored ghost. I can't imagine Bob as Marty, even though that's how Vic and Bob thought it would be. Also the love triangle between Jeff, Marty and Jeannie (Marty's fiancée), is a brilliant sub-plot throughout the show. I can't wait to see the second series!
bossy123 Dear sirs,I may be biased because I absolutely love Reeves and Mortimer (absolute geniuses, and I challenge anyone to contradict me!). This series is thoroughly enjoyable, and am delighted that it will soon be given a second run, and I'm always in stitches by the cameo appearances of Charlie Higson, Hitchcock-style, although not quite as hidden.I'm not declaring it a perfect series, totally void of all annoyances (because, granted, Bob does look quite uncomfortable, and is evidently itching to start making an idiot of himself), however, it is very well written, even though I'm far too young to even know about the original series. The acting, I'm sure, will be improved upon in the second run, as this was their first proper go at something that needs, well, to be blunt, concentration, but it's all done with good humour and what I believe to be the pinnacle of great digital effects (or at least the pinnacle they could claim on their budget).If you've never witnessed the first series, make some effort to watch the second, and if you don't have one smile in the entire episode, by all means, prove me wrong.
