Your Lovejoy raconteurs and bon vivants* are back for the final time with an extra, extra long episode seeing as it's THE VERY LAST ONE! Pol geeks out in extremis as we analyse Tinker's Dream, wonder just how many archaelogical digs one man can raid and enjoy the East Anglian Antique Dealers Association Annual Dance. * After all, who amongst us has never told their alka seltzer to shut up? The original Lovejoy episode was written by those Titans of British Televison, Mr. Ian La Frenais and Mr. Dick Clement and directed by our beloved Baz Taylor.

In this (very literal) episode we learn about the Cato Street Conspiracy - no thanks to UKTV Play - and enjoy, or not, an old school Lovejoy epsiode replete with tax people and an antique that just happens to be worth the exact amount of money he's short of. Em tells a traumatic pram story, Dr. Helen tells us about hypnotherapy and we conclude Cricklewood is real as we watch Charlotte getting to grips with "having it all." Question for listeners - what IS Tinker's tattoo? Answers on a postcard, or call 081 8111 etc etc... You can find out more about the Cato Street Conspiracy here and give us ..read more

What better advice do you need? We enjoy watching a thoroughly naked (according to Em) Lovejoy getting hit by a massive mop this episode, as we also learn the difference between Tat and Valuable, remember Mr. Motivator and get thoroughly distracted by a packet of crisps. The original Lovejoy episode was written by none other than the man himself Mr. Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Paul Harrison. Antiques of the Week: Two very important pieces of modern art, and a nice vase. Cocktail of the Week: A Vodka Sour - because it has Russian vodka in it, and an egg (tho Helen won’t get the reference ..read more

Everyone wants Lovejoy to tell them who owns a godly bread bin - from the Greek Orthodox Church in London to the Dutch Land Reclamation Society - and they'll all pay him for the privilege.

Pol’s run out of white wine (catastrophe) on what is very much not a red wine evening - as you might be able to tell by the audio quality(!) But we still get to learn the etymology of “ponce”, that Helen hates shampoo and why you should always buy an off peak return in this episode as we’re delighted to see Lovejoy in a place very dear to our hearts - London’s Soho. Although he doesn’t go to Trisha’s. Antique of the Week: Fluffy pink crop tops and ringing up to hear the news on the telephone Cocktail of the Week: the suprisingly straightforward Gunfire The original Lovejoy episode was writte ..read more

Lovejoy and his band of scallywags (what?) are back and we have a bit of a stare into the abyss listener, but don't worry, it's not very deep. Plenty of potential for peril this episode though as we see a sad AND forlorn AND melancholy Tink having a mope in a pub, a caravan and on a bridge - before he disappears! So join us to learn what naughty thing Polly did with her phonecard, where the best place is to offload nicked jewellery, and what happens when you're the kind of chap to Keep Calm and Carry On, and you can't...

Sustained peril this episode as we sit through approximately 22 hours of reckoning... Charlotte's in trouble (again) but not to worry, Lovejoy - and not the police, what are you thinking - is on the case! Join us as we discuss the difference between a sacristy and a vestry, enjoy some omnious music and learn that everyone is taller than Helen.

Lovejoy - it's like a mullet sandwich made of two lacks of mullet with a mullet filling... anyway, here we are with the first episode of Series 6! Mature Themes this week with some first class twattery from Charlotte's horrid love interest (Gordon Fitzalan / and Alan fits Gordon) and the question of whether Miss Bianca from the rescuers really did bonk Lovejoy on the downlow. And who is really going to want "a massive f*!@ing gong that won't fit anywhere" ? Antique of the Week: Em requests a cartier watch please. Pol will have a gong she won't be able to get up the stairs. The original Lovejoy ..read more
