“Deck it out with antiques - they don’t have to be new ones!” None of us can make head nor tail of what’s happening this episode as we don’t know if Lovejoy knows what the others think that he knows even though they don’t know if he knows that they know he knows. You see what we mean? By the end of it we weren’t even sure if jewellery is a real thing any more. Helen can blame the Lemsip and Pol the codeine but Em has no excuse!
Still, we enjoy finding out when Pol lost her avocado virginity, all about the great Crisps Conspiracy and why Lovejoy is to blame for the lack of East Anglian theme parks. We’re drawing up a LovejoyLand proof of concept as we speak, and want you to tell us what squares you would have on a Lovejoy Bingo sheet - helpless widows? Embarrassed Poshos? Eric’s lying? Or something else?
The original Lovejoy episode was written by Roger Marshall and directed by Bill Hays.
