Lovejoy Actually

Some excellent yet strangely soothing peril this week as we enjoy Lovejoy’s run in with the local golf club. He’s been drafted in to value their prize possession, whilst simultaneously securing an ‘antiquities sporting’ gift for the distinguished Mr. Kashimoto who may or may not be about to become a member.

Tinker gets to go to London and get pissed (and thus excellently hungover) and we delight in Peak Eric as Lovejoy fails to do any kind of risk assessment in the work place and sends him off with… a gun. What else? We get particularly excised by the old boys network as we meet some thoroughly nasty chaps on the club committee, and learn that ‘golfers do it with balls’ during an interesting discussion about mugs. It’s the podcast that keeps on giving, listener. Pol also displays some excellent knowledge of Japanese, whilst Em displays rather poorer knowledge of plumbing.

The original Lovejoy episode was written by Geoff McQueen and directed by John Crome.
