- TriviaThe theme tune used for Rentaghost episodes is actually the second version, after the BBC asked for changes to Michael Staniforth's first attempt, which contained lyrics relating to things like "seances", "poltergeists" and suggesting viewers "get scared to death and become a ghost too".
However, while rejected, this alternative version of theme was still included on two episodes - this one and episode 1.5.
- GoofsWhile chasing Maltby, Fred (Anthony Jackson) falls into a reservoir, leaving his hair and clothes soaking wet. Moments later he resumes the chase, and both his hair and clothes are dry.
Featured review
Out of the blocks, good second episode.
Rentaghost get their first mission, to rid an airport of a troublesome Highwayman ghost, called Maltby.
Bob Block didn't take long to get into his stride, and entertain one and all with his entertaining stories of Ghosts and Ghouls. I thought this second episode was good fun, even better than the first.
Mr Claypole is definitely a little wilder here, more what we'd know later on, I'm still not too sure about Me Davenport, I'm sure he'll grow on me.
Ian Collier is good fun here as Maltby, he's the first troublesome sprite we come across.
Fred Mumford's parents once again prove to be good fun, all sorts of stuff happen to them, were they perhaps the inspiration for The Perkins later on?
The special effects are definitely somewhat primitive, but it was 1976.
Plenty of fun, 8/10.
