'Buffy' Writers to Write for Classic British TV Show Re-Make

[Lyri]

Former BtVS writers Jane Espenson and Drew Z. Greenberg have been commissioned to write for SyFy's 'Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)'

Jane Espenson and Drew Z. Greenberg are going to write Syfy's pilot-in-development Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) "” based on the classic British TV show.

Espenson and Greenberg have plenty of Geek TV cred, with Espenson having written for Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse and Greenberg having worked on Dexter and Warehouse 13. Oh, and both wrote for a little show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

For those who haven't heard of this quirky-titled project, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) is about a detective who's murdered while investigating a case. He returns as a ghost, visible only to his former partner, and helps him solve crimes from beyond the grave.

It's the ultimate mismatched buddy cops "” one alive, one dead!

Syfy nabbed rights to Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) last May from ITV. Bringing on top writers like this duo is another step forward to bringing this show to the small screen.

What do you think of this project? And will there be a Ghost Hunters crossover?

I remember the Reeves and Mortimer version of this that was out in 2000 and I loved that. Looking forward to this.
