Original Series
Randall is a successful private detective whose success in solving mysteries becomes inevitably greater once he has the benefits and paranormal abilities of his deceased friend and partner Marty Hopkirk, who was murdered during an investigation. Randall is quick and agile, but often shows a distinct lack of physical strength and stamina. Randall is known to have a fiery temper and can become particularly irritated with certain situations and people, particularly the ghost of Marty, who torments him as much as helps him. He smokes regularly and is a heavy drinker under stressful situations.
Jeff at times can be a highly ambiguous character. In certain episodes he can show morals and respect for other characters, but at other times he can appear as immoral and verging on criminal in his behaviour. In the fifth episode "That's How Murder Snowballs" for example, rather than reporting to the police after the murder of a theatre performer, Randall rings a newspaper immediately to ensure that his tip off saw him a substantial amount of money for leaking the story.
Randall is also a womanizer and he attracts many beautiful women from episode to episode. However, any love interest fizzles out very quickly.
