Mike Pratt Web: Comments

Jim Antrobus - Mike and R&HD

"I think Mike played Jeff fantastically well. Bearing in mind that the character was supposed to be grumpy, you couldn't help but like him. Top bloke!"

Pete - Great site, thanks!

"I love RAHD. I never knew about RAHDAS (Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) Appreciation Society), but would would be good fun to visit some of the locations and comparing then and now in some photos. I wonder if RAHDAS is still going? Oddly enough I only found this site becuase I've been chatting to someone about a US series called The Invaders which I really love too. That led me on to talk about RAHD as a friend of mine at work has recently discovered it. I love watching the show as it makes me feel all nostalgic for London. I love the imagery at that time. Maybe someone will organise a coach trip round London? I've been on a 'The Smiths' themed coach trip in Manchester, and that was excellent. Is anyone interested in taking this idea forward?"

Alison - Mike Pratt

"I did not know how talented Mike was. All those Tommy Steele Films I've been watching over the years, I never realized that Mike had written some of those songs. It's great to see that R&H Deceased is now being repeated again on the new ITV Channel on Monday Evenings, at 7 O'Clock. Its also great to see Kenneth and Annette again."

Anon - Great website for a great man

"Love this Mike Pratt site - grew up with Randall and Hopkirk even then Mike Pratt was my hero and still is. Still love the show today it's as good as it ever was and has lost none of it's appeal even though I've seen them many times. Please keep it going, it's great that you've made the effort to build such a great website in tribute to a such a great man thank you."

Ron Gould - Memories

"I knew Pratt back in the old Skiffle, Jazz and Blues days, when we lived in houses in Bayliss Road and Pearman Street, Waterloo. The Bayliss Road house where Pratt lived was called the Yellow Door. You can guess why. One night we were out busking and were stopped by the police who took names, etc. Pratt said that his name was John Henry and that his job was Steel Driver. Old Jazz and Blues fans will get the joke. We all corpsed and the copper had no idea what was funny. My last meet with Mike was in The Dumpling Inn on Gerrard Street, he'd just got back from India, we had a great meal and reminisce. This was before R&H. Never saw him again, but a great mate and still recalled to mind regularly. One day I might let you all know about The World Cardboard Rolling Championships that me, Mike and a guitarist called John Wallage staged in Camden Town, but only if you ask nicely.

David - Excellent site

"I’m delighted to discover the existence of this website. Mike Pratt is one of those actors I’ve admired but of course he was never a major star and died many years ago so information about him is very hard to come by. Reassuringly, he clearly was very highly regarded by those who worked with him and appears to have been warmly accommodating towards fans. Keep up the good work. Look forward to learning more about this much missed actor."

Dave B. - A great actor

"Congratulations on achieving such an excellent website dedicated to Mike Pratt. There are so many pieces of information on the great actor that I have discovered for the first time, thanks to your website. A real tragedy that he was taken from us so early in life. Cheers!

Bex - Top Guy

"I absolutly love R&H and was dead chuffed to get the DVDs when they came out couple of years ago. I had a very big crush on Mike when the show was repeated in the early 90's and I was SO gutted to find out that he had passed away. Great website and nice to read more about the man himself. Love you forever Mike xxx."

Jason - Mike Pratt

"Hi there, I first saw R&H in the late 80's on ITV (I'm 35) what a great show. Bought the DVDs last year, but kept thinking it was real sad knowing MP isn't with us anymore, like a lot of good actors. Vic & Bob were rubbish. Hats off to you Mike in your white suit."

Carol - Nice to see other appreciate Mike!

"Wow, I just stumbled upon this site today and am amazed how recent the forum is. I use to watch 'My Partner the Ghost' as it was called in the States back in the mid-seventies and NEVER forgot it. I recently found it available on Netflix and just finished watching Season 1. Brings back SO many fond memories, and has been just a thrill to see Mike and Kenneth again. As I watched the series, I started looking up the cast on net and 'where are they now'. So sad to hear of Mike's early passing. Anyway, thought to stop by, say hello and add my admiration to a great show and a wonderful cast & crew."

Karen T. - Hello and thanks!

"I have just come across your site by chance... anyway, I just want to say 'Thank You' for setting this site up. I LOVED Mike Pratt (well I had a huge crush on him - I was only a 13 year old lass at that time.) Randall and Hopkirk was a brilliant series thanks to the writers, camera crew etc. and the acting of Mike Pratt and Kenneth Cope. I'm glad to hear that other people enjoyed it as much as I did and that they still remember Mike P. Thanks again!"

Grunsel - Mike Pratt

"He must have been well liked? Please excuse fading memories but I think I remember in early 1976 on Thames TV , The anchorman came on and said something like 'We understand the actor Mike Pratt is not very well in a hospital in our region, if your watching Mike, get well soon and this is dedicated to you' ...Then Randall and Hopkirk started."

Aitch - Mike

"A very talented guy, and great to work with."

"Mike was one of the best artists that I ever got to work with in my 32 years in the biz. Mike lived life to the full and we shared many a swift half together. Mike Pratt won't be forgotten while I'm alive. The King is dead, long live the King."

Comment - Talented guy

"Wow, he was a talented guy! Found his biography very interesting. I remember the R&H,D series, used to enjoy it very much. It would be good to have re-runs."

Ian C (RAHDAS) - Mike Pratt

"Love the site... I've loved R&H since i saw it 1st time round in the 70s and still regularly watch it now... we still go on location visits 3 times a year... great times... I have signed photo's of all the cast on my bedroom wall... Good luck."

Gillian - Mike Pratt

"It's great that there has been something about Mike Pratt on the Internet. It's been thirty years since his death and I was madly in love with Randall and Hopkirk as a child. It's a shame that he is not around to see all this. There was an interview with Kenneth Cope recently on televison and he must be well into his seventh decade. Mike was a brilliant actor for his time. I only hope that whereever he is now I hope he knows he is well remembered for his talents. Kind regards."

Allen. - Good luck with the site

"I just thought that i'd drop in & say hello. I remember watching Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) as a kid in the early seventies. I don't whether it was the guy in the white suit 'Kenneth Cope' and his cheeky sense of humuor or the fact that he was a ghost that attracted me to watching it. But there was something addictive to it and every now & again, I catch a repeat of an episode. Which is guaranteed to always makes me smile!"

Robert Campbell - Mike Pratt
