Mark Gibbings-Jones, The Guardian, 27th November 2018Syfy to Resurrect 'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'
SyFy is ready to remake the British series 'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'It looks like Syfy is continuing its programming friendship with various studios over in the U.K. However, rather than acquiring a recent show like the currently running 'Merlin,' the network is pulling from Britain's vast television past.
Rich Keller, TV Squad, 10th May 2010Over six enjoyable episodes it's only really now that Messrs. Higson, Reeves and Mortimer have finally laid to rest the ghosts of the past, and it could be argued that they leave R&H(D) stronger than when they found it. Its continuation is a must.
Graham Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 22nd April 2000Furthermore, there was little of the cynicism usually redolent in such remakes. This was good, clean fun and has the makings of an obvious hit. It is unclear whether Vic and Bob are fans of the original series, yet it is obvious that Higson has fond recollections of not just R&H(D) but a swathe of classic British TV.
