Fav Randall and Hopkirk headcanons GO

HELOO randall and hopkirk anons my beloved. polite kiss for you on the cheek. ive talked abt r&h hcs a bunch on and off so i Apologize if im repeating myself hahahgdks

cut bc its so long LOL

ive deffo talked abt this 1 before but 1 of my big hcs is that marty doesnt drink alcohol! my reasoning varies slightly depending on my mood lol but mainly just bc he doesnt like the culture and hates feeling out of control. he can be coaxed into a single drink tho if hes just hanging out with jeff. my back up for this is in the ghost talks when alive marty asks for a tomato juice (as opposed to the expected scotch) and the man he is with looks at him like he grew two heads. then also just *gestures vaguely at all of when the spirit moves you* this hc also leads into my crackship of calvin p bream x marty lolllll

um i dont thinkkk? ive mentioned this 1 before but my 2nd other hc is that jeff was raised by his grandparents (or smtimes just grandma depends on my mood lol). theres no canonical basis to this other than to me he seems super old fashioned (obvs the whole show is to us but even for Then he just seems......old to me idk). i think that he got his short temper and cynical side from her :")

bonus hc leading on from the last , i also think that both jeff and marty are disconnected from their families in some way. jeff bc his family are never mentioned at all, and martys family seem to... not be involved in his life? the gathering at his funeral was very small, and his auntie turned up almost a year since his funeral (i...think, the r&h timeline is inconsistent) found out from jeannie (who took a while to even recall the aunt) that he died, then preceeded to barely give a crap ??!! if anything it was a mild incovenience to her. not sure that would be my reaction to finding out an otherwise healthy young nephew died in a freak road accident but hey.

i think that jeff marty and jeannie are extremely close knit in an almost found family sort of way (and i know this is in part due to itc focusing more on individual episode stories than overarching plot/backstory) but in terms of canon i choose to believe their families each had something against them living their lives the way they want to. maybe jeffs folks didnt like him not settling down with somebody, jeannies for marrying somebody so soon (we dont know this but thats the best reason i can come up with lol), and martys because he spent almost all of his time with jeff (a bad influence). i just get this feeling that they have been rejected by others and depend on each other a lot! or i am just projecting hehe

anywayyy hope u enjoyed bye i love u mwah

#ough i love thinking abt my blorbos #i could talk about martys specific neuroses for an entire day i think #asks

hi :) top 5 randall and hopkirk episodes?

hi!! :D sorry it took so long to respond i love questions like this and i've been thinking....

hrmm ok well my #1 is my late lamented friend and partner :") i love a good set up, i love the FEELINGS. i love JEFF. i know they are new to this concept but IMO it demonstrates their acting skills wonderfully even if it is played safely... mike pratt especially! his ability to demonstrate his utter misery and then relax back into his friendship with marty when they're exploring marty's powers at the hotel. even though at first it feels frustrating to not have seen more of their interactions before death, you don't even really need to! jeff (mike) demonstrates it all so naturally :")

ok #2... that's how murder snowballs. first of all: david jason! he doesn't get a huge role but it's still great to see him. as for the episode, it's such an inventive use of the "my partner the ghost", in fact it was the first episode i saw of randall and hopkirk that got me into the show!! the dialog is brilliant and hilarious (marty having dinner with the prime minister 😆), plus some interesting choices made early episode (re: jeff getting the bag)

ok this is getting sorta long so i am gonna whizz through these next ones #3 is it's supposed to be thicker than water. the real test of jeff and marty's relationship!!!! can jeff really live without marty? (no!)

#4: when the spirit moves you. well this is surprisingly low down for how much i enjoy watching it and how much i love calvin p bream.... still!!!!! marty oscillating between his principle anti-alcohol agenda and "oh shit we need you to be sloshed get that booze down your neck" and then back to "Heres some fuckin milk you dipso"

aaaand my fifth - the ghost talks. the marty lore!!!!!!!! and by lore i mean the slightest little HINTS of life breathed into marty and jeannie hopkirk for this episode (in amidst jeff/mike's whining bc SOMEBODY got too drunk on their birthday 🤭). marty drinking TOMATO JUICE??? <3 marty's floral ties (presumably to contrast against his deathly white tie but still<3) marty and jeannie being domestic and adorable <333 marty's fuckin necktie 🥲🥲 can you tell i love marty hopkirk so much???

thx for asking!!!!!!!!! have a good day :D

#i know i have like a handful of r&h mutuals so 😤 #randall and hopkirk deceased

[thecubes]

Top five Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) episodes, please.

OMG i figured out i can answer it from my web notifs mwah ha ha hahahahah

.. anyways :P

MY LATE LAMENTED FRIEND AND PARTER: numero unoooo it is THE best R&H episode it sets everything up perfectly, marty is suitably neurotic, jeff is suitably confused, jeannie is suitably confused but differently. jeff is being dragged along in some Thing he doesnt even want to be a part of but he has no choice !!!!!! augh its so good. i love it i rewatch it so much. i love how they eventually settle back into their friendship until jeff is forcibly reminded that marty is in fact Dead. oh its so much.

that's how murder snowballs: i really really love a lot of the jokes and ghost-tricks in this episode, also it was the very first one i saw, that got me into R&H in the first place :D!! my favourite part is the joke about marty having dinner with the prime minister :P

when the spirit moves you - i love calvin p bream so much its unreal. i love watching marty oscillate between his morals and Practicality

the ghost talks: i love you alive boy!!!!!!!!

it's supposed to be thicker than water: im basically constantly writing fics about this god. they are so unwell about each other im gonna scream. the amount of feelings that these guys have that they just flat out refuse to communicate i cannot with the,m

#thank you for asking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #<333333 #asks
