Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), Series 2
by Charlie Higson (BBC, 2001)
Series two manages somehow to up the zaniness levels. Reeves & Mortimer aren’t particularly good actors but their performances are in keeping with the series’ quirky remove from reality. Tom Baker remains wonderful (and toothy as ever) as Marty’s white-suited spirit guide.
Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), Series 1
by Charlie Higson (BBC, 2000)
Higson offers up a set of weird and wonderful scripts in this comedic remake of the 1960s supernatural detective drama. Reeves & Mortimer are wooden at times in the lead roles but also genuinely funny in an off-the-wall, zany kind of way.
Jekyll and Hyde
by Charlie Higson (ITV, 2015)
Jekyll and Hyde would like to think of itself as stylish fantasy horror. While Tom Bateman brings power to both the good doctor and the beast within, the script can’t decide whether it’s going to be ham-fisted or oafish in imparting information.
