Lovejoy (Series)

### About the series

***Lovejoy*** is a British television comedy-drama mystery series, based on the picaresque novels by John Grant under the pen name Jonathan Gash. The show, which ran to 71 episodes over six series, was originally broadcast on BBC1 between 10 January 1986 and 4 December 1994, although there was a five-year gap between the first and second series. It was adapted for television by Ian La Frenais.

## Overview

The series concerns the adventures of the eponymous Lovejoy, a roguish antiques dealer based in East Anglia. Within the trade, he has a reputation as a "divvy", a person with almost unnatural powers of recognising exceptional items as well as distinguishing genuine antiques from fakes or forgeries.

## Characters

* Lovejoy, played by Ian McShane, a less than scrupulous yet likeable rogue antique dealer
* Eric Catchpole, played by Chris Jury (series 1–5; guest, series 6), Lovejoy's younger, enthusiastic, but ever so slightly dim, assistant
* Tinker Dill, played by Dudley Sutton, "barker" and tout who is friends with Lovejoy
* Lady Jane Felsham, played by Phyllis Logan (series 1–5; guest, series 6), has a friendly, flirtatious relationship with Lovejoy, often helping him with his deals
* Charlie Gimbert, played by Malcolm Tierney (series 1, 4–6), owner of a local auction house and Lovejoy's nemesis within the antiques trade
* Beth Taylor, played by Diane Parish (series 5–6), Lovejoy's new apprentice following the departure of Eric Catchpole
* Charlotte Cavendish, played by Caroline Langrishe (series 5–6), an auctioneer who becomes Lovejoy's love interest

## Broadcast history

The series was notable for its style and pace. Lovejoy would frequently break the fourth wall, revealing his thoughts and motives by addressing the audience directly. The first series was shown on BBC1 in the first half of 1986. It concluded with a two-part special.

Despite the first series being a moderate ratings success, *Lovejoy* was not brought back until January 1991. The original four cast members returned for the next two series between 1991 and 1992. With the start of the fourth series in 1993, Malcolm Tierney reprised his first series role as Charlie Gimbert.

During the fifth series, several cast changes were made. Phyllis Logan left the show in the second episode and Chris Jury departed in the sixth episode, although both characters returned for the sixth series finale. Two new regular characters were added: Lovejoy's new apprentice, Beth Taylor, and Charlotte Cavendish, who ran a local antiques auction house.

The sixth and final series of ten episodes was broadcast between October and December 1994. Two ninety-minute *Lovejoy* specials for Christmas were shown in 1992 and 1993. The theme tune used in the opening and end credits, as well as the incidental music for each episode, was composed by Denis King.
Death and Venice: Part Two

## Plot

Lovejoy finds his beautiful tour guide is more interested in working for the Venetian art smugglers than showing him St. Mark's Square. He has not been seeing the beautiful granddaughter Caterina in Venice as he had supposed, but her ruthless sister Valeria. She is more interested in the stolen art treasures for herself than for posterity. When he finds that Luciano, one of the ring's most skilled document forgers is really a Scotsman, they team together to liberate the priceless art from a cache that the thieves have on an abandoned island in the Adriatic.

## Quotes

* **Lovejoy:** I never hit a man when someone can do it better.
* **Lovejoy:** You know what they say: a great fake must be better than the original.
* **Lovejoy:** Is there something in Venice that makes people talk like Shakespeare?

The Sting

## Plot

Corinna Hope is a reformed drug addict who went through her own fortune and stole from her father to support her expensive habit. One of the things she stole from her recently deceased father was some antique statuettes, and now that his estate is being catalogued, is desperate to replace them. She implores Lovejoy to recover them for her with money she has stolen from her former drug pusher. Unable to go to the auction himself because he has a date with his estranged daughter, Lovejoy entrusts Gimbert to bid for him at an auction but is double-crossed as his arch-rival keeps the antiques for himself. The resourceful Lovejoy utilizes Lady Jane, Tink, Eric, Corinna, and an old document forger to entrap Gimbert in a "sting" and recover the statuettes.

## Trivia

* The 1956 Ford Thunderbird shown about 2/3 through the episode is the same one featured at the beginning of 'Oxford Blues' (1984), which Rob Lowe's character jams into the gate. Apparently they fixed the front wings to re-restore it!

## Quotes

* Lovejoy: (Aside to camera) Gimbert's is a typical auction such as you'll find in any quaint, sleepy British country town. Behind that august, classical exterior beats the scarlet emotion of pure greed.
* Charlie Gimbert: I need a favor.
Lovejoy: We all do, Charlie.
* Charlie Gimbert: I need you, Lovejoy. Since my wife died, I need someone to hate.
* Tinker Dill: There is nothing wrong with good, honest forgery.
* Lovejoy: I wish you wouldn't drink while I drive.
Tinker Dill: (Holding his whiskey flask) I'm wearing my seat belt.
* David: Who are you to talk to me like that?
Lovejoy: Who do I have to be to talk to you like that?

## Plot

The beautiful, blonde granddaughter to an aged, sickly, wheelchair-bound grandfather tries to recruit a reluctant Lovejoy to be part of his great enterprise aimed at the liberation of all the great artworks of the slowly dying city of Venice before the ravages of humidity, pollution, and the rising Adriatic cause them irreparable damage. When Lovejoy initially learns the project includes a factory churning out forgeries as fast as they can be substituted for the originals, he changes his mind and signs up with the operation but not before becoming acquainted with a very beautiful but seemingly ubiquitous Venitian tour guide.

## Quotes

* **Pinder:** (Noticing Lovejoy is awed by his collection of art) You're impressed, Mr. Lovejoy?
**Lovejoy:** Oh, antiques are my drugs. I just OD'd.
* **Eric Catchpole:** (Drinking and eating rather sloppily at Janes's table) I made a date with the girl who works in the bar. (Gesturing her breast size with his hands) She's got fantastic knockers!
**Lovejoy:** (Slightly embarrassed to Jane) Don't worry. He won't be staying to dinner.
* **Caterina:** (on the phone) Yes, well my name's Caterina Norman.
**Lovejoy:** Blond, sleek, casually but immaculately dressed, blue eyes, cool expression yet with a hint of a sensual smile. I vaguely recollect you.
* **Lady January Felsham:** Why does Lovejoy spend half his life in seedy rooms, doing seedy deals with seedy people?
**Eric Catchpole:** He's good at it.
* **Lovejoy:** (to Tink) Hello, Tink. What are you doing here? The bars are open.

## Plot

Lovejoy has sold many antiques to Annie Brodie, wife to one of the great pork farmers in Britain. She falls in love with a set of five satirical watercolor lithos from the 18th Century including one they both particularly like showing a sow and her piglets. Characteristically Eric clumsily drops and breaks one the paintings. While cleaning it up the mess, he discovers a beautiful Venetian bronze hidden under the couch, a statue that has been notoriously stolen from the Queen. To the Brodies, a highly anticipated royal visit from the Queen Elizabeth to their farm is worth much more to them than the beautiful statue, so they assign Eric to mailing it back to the palace.
