Featured review
The Ghost in the Office
Grady is now working for an accountancy agency in New York, he's dealing with demanding clients, and a ghost in the office, things are moved, his sandwiches are taken. Grady's taken out to lunch by his Aunt Jessica one night, and as he returns to his Office he finds his boss Ralph Whitman dead. As he's the person to discover the body, Grady is suspected by the charming Lieutenant Timothy Hanratty. Grady also has to deal with the IRS, who's agent Lester Grinshaw believes Grady to be the head of a major tax swindle in the Cayman Isles.
I've always had a fondness for this episode, it's light hearted, intriguing and definitely charming. One of the better stories for Grady I think it's fair to say, he gets a little more to do in this episode then many of his others. I would love to read Grady's CV to see how many jobs he's had, and where's his beautiful love interest.
The acting is impeccable, Barney Martin is a delight as Irish cop Hanratty, such a shame it would be two years til he'd return, his scenes with Lansbury are a delight. I particularly liked Geoffrey Lewis's IRS Agent Grinshaw, he was great.
It's a little daft in parts I guess, the scene where the hidden 'ghost' comes to Jessica's aid is a little silly, but it's part of the show's charm. Good fun 8/10
