Such a shame he died, before seeing Randall and Hopkirk become as famous as it was.

Re: Mike Pratt

What a great series Randall And Hopkirk was.
I loved Mike Pratt and Kenneth Cope in this.

Kenneth Cope was in Coronation Street recently and he looks so old now.

Re: Mike Pratt

I got into watching it when it was on BBC2 in the 1990s.

Brookie was me & the missus' fav programme ....but I remember right back to when it first started in 1982, my last year at comp

My fav character was Barry Grant..he made SUCH an impressive villain (oh & Harry Cross of course was great; and Amanda Burton for totty!

We watched the last ever episode on board the Hull-Zeebrugge ferry Nov 2003 IIRC

Last Saturday we were in York, and we walked down the steps by the river where Damon was knifed & killed in the 'Damon & Debbie' spin-off

oh yes, and who can forget THAT kiss ??

Re: Mike Pratt

I was a big fan of Brookie also Barry Grant was a right old villian,Harry Cross was a right moaning grumpy old manhe lived in the only bungalow they had in the close,Marty Kenneth Cope moved into the bungalow,if I can remember before the series ended.
Max Farnham lived at no 5,his first wife Sussannah came back into the show towards the end,he also had wife no 2 patricia.
Jimmy and Jacki Corkhill were always quarrelling,Jimmy played a good part though.
Ron Dixon was a pain in the ****,he had that mobile van selling grocieries,he left his wife for a young model Bev,anyone jog their memories of more characters of the show

Re: Mike Pratt

Re: Mike Pratt

It aways impressed me how Mike kept a poker face on when the ghost appeared so nobody else knew it was there.

However on sunny days it had a shadow and I never understood as a kid how nobody noticed that - one episode they were looking for a clue on some family motto inscription on a outside wall and when Marty crouched down to look at it the police inspectors view must have been totally blocked out!

Re: Mike Pratt

He was another of those actors of his time who also popped up for a one-off character part in many other shows: The Saint, The Champions, U.F.O. etc.

Re: Mike Pratt

I've got almost all of the original 'Randall & Hopkirk' series on DVD, and I often dip in and enjoy an episode here and there. It's a shame Mike Pratt isn't better remembered, as Jeff Randall was a great character, and of course, he got to do plenty of driving of his now-classic Vauxhall Victor FD saloon - a car I've always liked.

Re: Mike Pratt

Trivia: Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) had an alternate title sequence made for release in the U.S. and was known as My Partner The Ghost.
