Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Something of a mystery surrounds Lovejoy's daughter. In "Lovejoy: Sugar and Spice (#2.8)" (1991), Lady Jane mentions that Lovejoy has just one daughter. In Season 1, she is called Kate and is played by 'Charlotte Edwards'; in Seasons 2 and 3, she is called Vicky and is played by Amelia Shankley; in Season 6 her name is spelled Viki and she is played by Amelia Curtis. Despite information to the contrary on some web sites, Amelia Shankley and Amelia Curtis are not the same actress. more
Quotes:
Lovejoy: Do we have to bring mistrust and suspicion into this. more

great show, great cast, sorely missed, 15 May 2005
Author: blanche-2 from United States

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Lovejoy on A&E channel some years ago. Ian McShane was right on as the roguish antique dealer, and he was ably accompanied by Dudley Sutton, Chris Jury, Phyllis Logan, Malcolm Tierney, and later on, Caroline Langrishe. I'm happy to see that it's now available on DVD. I taped most of the episodes, but at the end, I'm afraid my collection became a little confused.

I admit to not having read the books, but I understand they're much darker than this show that displayed beautiful antiques, fun characters, and glorious countryside. The ensemble work was great. I confess to especially liking the flirtation between Lovejoy and Lady Jane. I recall the last episode as being a bit of a downer, but probably fitting with the character of Lovejoy as portrayed by McShane. A&E used to have the most marvelous series - I remember this fondly, along with the House of Elliott.
