jester1470 55 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 I'm currently down in London doing some work and in the lonely evenings till my girlfriend joins me I have found myself sitting on the balcony overlooking the Thames watching Lovejoy on the computer - very relaxing.How many people remember the adventures of the mischevious antiques dealer? Great 80's TV from the superb Ian McShane who went on to star in Deadwood, a great show in the Bergerac mould...CheersStuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delboy 83 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 lovejoy was wicked though i always had an extra fondness because it was filmed in east anglia where i'm from, but it was one of those better gentle sunday night dramas i usually avoid. and tinker is a legend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomatoblossom 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2006 I haven't watched Lovejoy properly, but I saw a DVD cover and chuckled a little and his bootiful 80's hair. I'm so glad I didn't live through it. I probably would have hair like that too. Nah prob not but oh well.I hope that image shows up. I'm sure it is a great programme though. No offence to Lovejoy fans NoOoOo Lovejoys pic didnt show up! *cries* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly don't remember John Nettles calling anyone a "fucking cocksucker". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bluesxman Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Lovejoy is in that 'Sexy Beast' film. It would also be quality Sunday evening viewing for all the family in the Last Of The Summer Wine mould, I recommend it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alkaline 1607 Report post Posted August 10, 2006 Bergerac was awesome, and i don't see any comparisons with Deadwood o_O Lovejoy had its moments too i guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
