This is the fourth set of Lovejoy episodes. They had moved away from the grainy film and into the 'warm' polished quality, which served to set the higher tone for Lovejoy. The episodes were deftly written, sharply directed and brilliantly brought to life by the cast. McShane is at his most loveable rogue in the best episodes of the Series!!
The Prague Sun (a movie length 2-part Christmas Episode has Lovejoy doing a St. Nic appearance!)
The Napoleonic Commode - Jane and Lovejoy find a Napoleonic commode, minus the bowl - if they can just 'fix' that a bit they will score big
The Ring - Lovejoy needs money to float his new effort. He hits upon buying a series of painting and if he can sell one for a high price then he can sell them all. He calls upon old shady pals to see the price goes up, but it backfires when he pulls Lady Jane into the scam
Second Fiddle - has Tinker, Eric and Lovejoy in period costume (must admit while Tinker and Eric don't fare too well, McShane looks as if he was born for the period!) The episode has Lovejoy playing musical chairs with fiddles - the rare kind!
The Colour of Mary - Lady Jane shines in the episode when she gives her speech of how Mary Queen of Scots was executed. Lovejoy needs to find Mary's old pool table
The Judgement of Solomon - has a shifty major trying to shift stole items from the Jews during WWII, but our rogue is there to save the day for everyone
The Galloping Major - in a series of events, Lovejoy find an ancient cannon, which soon has everyone going around and around to prove it's a rare Cromwellian cannon
God Helps Those - Jane tricks Lovejoy into decorating a pub for a friend, also a friend of Tinkers. When Lovejoy and Jane get scammed, it's up to Lovejoy to help those in need
They Call Me Midas - an old friend lure Lovejoy, Jane, Tinker and Eric into role-playing for the weekend to sell a fake to an arrogant art collector
Irish Stew - Jane, Tinker, Eric and Lovejoy go on the knock up in Ireland and get caught in the mystery surrounding a dying actress and the missing ancient book
Dainty Dishes - Lovejoy and crew go to Brighton Beach to help Jane's distant relation. They go on a scavenger hunt for dishes to complete a special set, while misdirecting Charlie with chairs
Taking the Pledge - an old friend James Kinkardine looks up Lovejoy trying to get back an item he pawned, yet keep it away from the grasping ex-wife, while Jane is getting romanced and scammed
Lovejoy Loses it - a super episode where Lovejoy alienates Eric, Tinker and Jane as he goes on telly as divvy star. When he goofs on an estate evaluation, he has to pull himself around or face losing the people he cares about.
These are some of the best episodes. When I watch them I keep going 'oh this is my fav!' - for each one of them!! They are just that good.
to me to see lovejoy again was good as i used to watch this when i was younger. so when i joined this club i had to go back in time. the characters all play a good part making it is what is a good series to watch over and over again.
