At the very high risk of my growing bias showing, this news that
you're going all original R&H, at least for the
www.randallandhopkirk.com URL, has made my week. :D Even though Vic
and Bob's take was what introduced me to the overall franchise, I've
about gotten to the point where other than that, the remake is a mere
footnote and should be treated as such. Kenneth Cope and Mike Pratt
are and will always be THE ghost and his partner.

(And to be honest, I'd probably be a smidge more open-minded about
the remake if it weren't for how its 'The Making of' book treated the
original R&H as something to be completely ignored...I can't decide
which was/is worst, there being no mention at all of Kenneth Cope
(despite the place housing the R&H office bearing his name!!!) OR
how Mr. Higston, among others, took it upon himself to slam the
original in its own 'chapter'. Therefore, I don't mind being a bit
defiant towards the remake as I progress with my R&H fandom.)

I wouldn't hesitate to put clips up, Richard. Youtube don't really worry about shows from the 60s - it's more copyrighted music that they concern themselves...
