Sexy Jane Dee (Jennifer Calvert) hires Jeff Randall (Bob Mortimer) to find her husband , who was last seen in some small rural village. Jeff immediately goes there with his dead partner Marty Hopkirk (Vic Reeves), a ghost who only he can see, but once there they discover everything is quite odd: Time seems stuck somewhere in the early years of the 20th century, everybody is just too hypocritically nice to each other, tourists who do as much as litter are executed by the police constable (Richard Riding), but weirdest of all, the innkeeper (Gareth Thomas) can actually see Marty - & the other villagers too, before long.

& while Marty is slowly becoming a man of substance (literally speaking) again & enjoying it, Jeff desperately tries to find a way out of the village - but no matter how hard he tries, he always ends up in the town's square again.

After having sex with Jane Dee, Marty is completely won over to the cause of the villagers - who are actually survivors from the great plague from 800 years ago (!), who stayed alive because they have struck a deal with the devil, but need a real ghost (like Marty) to be released from their time bubble &, under his leadership, rule the world. The thing is though, they need a human sacrifice to put this into action - & that would be Jeff.

MArty is now torn between keeping his friend alive & a life for himself he always wanted, ruling the world ... & he almost chooses the latter, wouldn't Wyfen (Tom Baker), his guide in the spiritual world, interfere & send his fiancée Jeannie (Emilia Fox) to stop him just in time. Upon realizing what he's doing, Marty condemns the village to hell - where it goes via an impressive whirlwind ...

 

Nice finale for Randall and Hopkirk (deceased)'s first season, finding the perfect mix of light comedy & all-out-horror, with some maybne not terribly convincing but highly imaginative special effects thrown in (a village sucked up by a whirlwind just is funny)
