In hospital, Jeff Randall (Bob Mortimer) meets his long lost love Freya Cargill (Anna Wilson-Jones) again, who has ten years ago broken up with him because he couldn'T find her archeologist father after he had disappeared & was accused of theft of some items of the museum.

Despite the warnings of both his deceased partner Marty Hopkirk (Vic Reeves), who is with him as a spirit only Jeff can see, & Marty's once fiancée Jeanny (Emilia Fox) who is now secretly in love with Jeff, Jeff takes up the case again.Jeff collects traces all over the place, from the museum where professor Cargill has worked at & has supposedly stolen the items from, to that museum's former curator Caradoc Evans (Freddie Jones), who has lost his job because of Cargill, but in the end it all leads to the museum's new curators McKern & Doleman (Celia Imrie & Fast Show regular Mark Williams), who have not only stolen the items thought to be stolen by Cargill, they have also murdered Cargill & hidden him among the perfectly mummified 200 year-old corpses of the so called Bog People, the museum's most valuable exhibits. But now, these exhibits are to be shipped to Copenhagen, & since a relatively fresh corpse among all the ancient ones would arise suspicion, Doleman & McKern have decided to burn down the museum ... & if they that way can get rid of that meddling private eye - all the better.

But thanks to the timely intervention of Jeanny & Marty, Jeff can be saved, the villains brought to justice & everything ends well.

Everything ?

Not really, when Jeff presents Freya with the solution of the case - expecting her to return to him - he has to realize she has died years ago, & only came back as a spirit to make Jeff finish what he had once begun & to find peace for her own soul.

In a subplot, Marty's spiritual mentor Wyfern (Tom Baker) presents Marty with a newcomer to the spirit world he has to educate, Nesbitt (played by Matt Lucas, who also played the man with the scores, George Dawes on Reeves' & Mortimer's long running spoof quiz show Shooting Stars).

 

Despite the great & promising title, the Bog People do not have any Revenge - they actually hardly show up at all, & the actual plot of this episode is more of a mess, trying to deal (again) with too many elements at the same time - there's Jeff trying to win back his old girfriend, the old girlfriend being dead, a theft at a museum 10 years ago, a fresh corpse hidden between ancient ones, Jeannie's jealousy towards Jeff's old girlfriend, Marty educating Nesbitt, ... -, without ever coherently blending them, at a consequence leaving the story sitting between way too many stools ...
