Randall
and Hopkirk - The Original ... |
 |
Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) appeared in 1969-70, and ran for 26 episodes.
From the same stable as the Saint, Dangerman and The Prisoner, it gained from
viewer loyalty to the earlier shows. While the idea was original, the writers
really had little idea what to do with it, and most of the Randall and Hopkirk
plots were average at best, feeble at worst. What saved it was the character
development, the quirky humour and the originality of the idea. | US: 1969

Randall and Hopkirk Rediscovered |
First shown 2000-2001 Reeves and Mortimer could have remade Dallas,
if they'd wanted to, such was their power at that time; they chose to pay homage
to Randall & Hopkirk (deceased) - a semi-successful sixties cult series, and
made it their own. Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) Mark II had better plots,
their characters probably more believable, but many argue that they went for the
humour a little too much. You decide! |  | | | UK Randall
