<P> As she is invited into their manor house we see the start of a much used setting in the majority of the Randall and Hopkirk episodes, an eerie lavish country manor with a grand hallway and rooms and 1930s eccentric décor creating an element of suspense . The same set with a few alterations was used on the majority of later episodes filmed in the same studio set . The third episode also sets the scene for the themes of exorcism, paranormal spirituality, psychic mediums and placing Marty Hopkirk to rest which also feature in later episodes such as "Whoever Heard of a Ghost Dying?" and "But What a Sweet Little Room". </P> <P> The appearance of psychic mediums develops in the next episode "Never Trust a Ghost" and also establishes Jeff Randall's trust in his ghostly partner for the series . Jeff visits a deranged medium to query whether Marty can be reliable, and subsequently begins to doubt his ghostly partner . We see Jeff become seriously frustrated with Marty as he places his reputation in danger by following up Hopkirk's seemingly false leads, yet Marty persists on bothering him even when he is in the company of women . The medium believes that ghosts hallucinate, but Marty, whom the medium can see, takes hours to convince him of his capabilities . Marty's correct deductions and his ability to stop enemy agents in the end solidifies Jeff's trust of him . The medium is also significant as he is the first man other than Jeff who can see and communicate with Marty the ghost, repeated later in the series as other mediums can communicate . </P> <P> In episode 4 it really becomes evident that Randall has a distinct hatred of the police, which is reciprocated . In nearly every episode where the police are involved with enquiries some way or the other they always suspect Randall as the villain in a crime with Randall many a time treating them rather rudely in his frustration . In many episodes he conflicts with the suspicious Inspector Large played by Ivor Dean . In the eighth episode "Whoever Heard of a Ghost Dying?" and the 10th episode "When did You Start to Stop Seeing Things?" in particular, Randall is suspected of not only being a criminal involved in the operation of diamond operations but is suspected as a murderer, implicated to directly throw the police off guard . </P> <P> The fourth episode is also the first time we really see that Jeff Randall is a womaniser, followed up in the sixth episode "Just for the Record" where he is surrounded by beautiful women at a beauty contest, offering Miss Moscow "a cup of tea" as a cover for sex . Even when Jeff does not physically make contact with attractive women it is clear there is always a mutual attraction between them, for example in the 17th episode "Somebody Just Walked Over My Grave" where he flirts with the housekeeper . </P>
