77. A Long Tradition of Hidey Holes (The Judas Pair)

Unbelievably we have read another book (in the case of one of us... during the recording of this podcast.) Yes we're back and even though it's our second episode we are finally beginning at the beginning with Jonathan Gash's awarding winning Lovejoy novel, The Judas Pair. Pol is very excited we've come to see her new gaff, Helen shows off her language skills and Em tries to seem intelligent by being concerned we've missed something critical in 'the canon.' Then ruins it by not knowing where East Angular is. Listen along to learn how absolutely non-loveable rogue Book Lovejoy finds himself in a hot pickle tracking down antique duelling pistols once owned by the husband of a needy widow. Was she only ever in it for the conservatory? Also this time, Pol get's back on the cocktail bandwagon but you'll wish she hadn't when you hear what's in a Judas... Antiques of the Week: payphones, (hot)priestholes and a box to put your lover's fleas in. Obviously.

76. Interchangeable Women (The Very Last Gambado)

Oh HIYYAAAA! The Lovejoy Actually Book Club is OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Em, Pol and Helen return, summoned by a rather vague press release... hey, any excuse to get together over pizza and wine, amiright? So, listen in and find out what we've been up to since we last spoke and what we think of Jonathan Gash's The Very Last Gambado. Em defends Lovejoy for reasons even she isn't certain of as we discuss the singular of legging, the ethics of human remains in museums, a mysterious Celtic cross and a plethora of interchangeable women all whilst bravely suspending our disbelief (in a balloon above Senate House.) Antique of the Week: whatever we can slip in our handbags on Great Russell Street.

75. Last Tango

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. Antiques of the Week: Ruskin's letters, a mosaic floor and Tink's dressing gown. Cocktail of the Week: Adios MelonFarmer ps you could die of nostalgia, back in the day...** SUPPORT ROYAL TRINITY HOSPICE BY SPONSORING OUR RUN! **

74. Minty Tequila (Holding the Baby)

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 a quid or two for our charity run round London's Royal Parks here.The original Lovejoy episode was written by Paul Alexander and directed by Baz Taylor.Antique of the Week: Libraries :/Cocktail of the Week: Tequila Mockingbird

73. Live, Laugh, LOVEJOY (Fruit of the Desert)

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…)** we’re all running a half marathon in October for Trinity Hospice - please consider sponsoring us! Every little helps **

72. Willies Galore! (Beating the Broker)

Join us as we enjoy some interesting sartorial choices and a blossoming bromance this week. There's smut aplenty as the Suffolk PD come up with a rather convuluted plan to recruit an antiques expert in their battle against a cur-ved sea captain. The original Lovejoy episode was written by Douglas Watkinson and directed by Alex Kirby. Antique of the Week: Cadbury's Roses, circa 1994.

71. Never mind the... | Last of the Uzkoks

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. Come and have a listen as we enjoy a pangolin distraction, hear about the Dunwich Dynamo and meet a generic loon who just adores "Tinky" ! The original Lovejoy episode was written by Steve Coombes and Dave Robinson. It was directed by Ian McShane. The UK Treasure Trove rules are here and you can learn more about Gruel Thursday at the Everyday Lore Project. ** Don't forget we're still supporting Royal Trinity Hospice! **

70. Bit of a Bonk (Guns n Roses)

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 telephoneCocktail of the Week: the suprisingly straightforward Gunfire The original Lovejoy episode was written by John Milne and directed by Ian White.You can sponsor our Half Marathon on our Justgiving page here!
