18. Little Ninja (Raise The Hispanic)

As Tinker observes “the best of us can fall prey to alcoholic fantasy” but is this really what’s happened to Lovejoy in the case of the disappearing body? Join us for another farcical (and slightly sweary) romp through Lovejoyland as Pol delights in a diminutive assailant, Em has an unsettling Bed Knobs & Broomsticks flashback and Helen stubbornly refuses to suspend her disbelief. We learn about Danegeld, nominative determinism and the Detroit Tigers baseball team whilst admiring another canine addition to the cast - the lovely Lassy!

The original Lovejoy episode was written by Douglas Watkinson and directed by Bill Hays.
