Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) All Work and No Pay (1969–1971) Online

Jeannie believes that Marty is trying to contact her when objects begin to move around in her house but it is a ploy by the Foster brothers, spiritualists down on their luck, who offer to pay Jeannie to send them clients anxious to hear messages from loved ones who have crossed over. Sensing a scam, Jeff sends Laura, an actress, to pose as a widow and engage the Fosters. He and Jeannie arrive at the Fosters' home and believe, erroneously, that they have killed her. However, the brothers attempt to murder Jeannie and Jeff by propelling objects using electricity. Marty saves the day by going to the generating station and using vibrations to cause a power cut - not just to the Fosters' house but to the whole neighbourhood.

Jeannie is chilling out at home when her flat is attacked by a poltergeist, operated by two gaunt, smiling men in a car with an electrical/radio device. She calls Jeff for help and he rushes round in his lemon yellow karate pyjamas and a leather jacket. She worries that the business isn't making money, and wonders whether to accept a job from two strange, smiling men.... Yes, the ones from the car, who claim to be spiritualists. Impossible to cut a long story short. Jeff pawns his bedding to persuade an alcoholic friend to pretend to be a bereaved mother so that Jeannie can pass her on to the spook-raising Foster brothers and get some commission. I think.

The brothers, played wonderfully by Alfred Burke and Dudley Foster, explain to the actress, posing as "Mrs Wilson", that they have never succeeded in raising anybody. They plan to send her to the beyond to act as their emissary. She flees, but finds that their Gothic mansion is bordered by a moat...

More shenanigans ensue, and it all ends happily. Oh, weren't the 60s lovely?
