A spin off from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. This is camp crossover of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) and Ghostbusters.
Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland are the Dead Boy Detectives. They are dead (in different time periods) but have avoided the afterlife to they can solve supernatural cases on Earth.
The first episode see them come to the rescue of a psychic called Crystal Palace. She was possessed by her boyfriend, a demon who took her memories.
Only Crystal has a vision of a missing girl, Becky Aspen. Crystal believes that Becky is alive but surrounded by death.
They all go to America to look for Becky.
This was a breezy opener with enough appropriate flashbacks. It was a jolt to see Charles going to see his elderly parents from outside their home. He was killed in the 1990s and his parents are still alive. While Edwin was meant to be a sacrifice by his public school chums back in 1916.
There was an inherent cheapness to the production. Although the main actors are British, it is shot in Canada. No wonder the story quickly moved to the USA.
