Rentaghost was a delightfully bonkers British children's comedy series that aired on the BBC from 1976 to 1984, centered around a ghost-hiring agency in South Ealing run by the recently deceased Fred Mumford. He recruits a cast of eccentric spirits—including Timothy Claypole, a medieval jester; Hubert Davenport, a prim Victorian gent; and Hazel McWitch, a Scottish sorceress—to offer their supernatural services to the living.
