Lovejoy

Lovejoy returns from a bohemian furlough in Spain and rescues Eric, Tinker, and Lady Jane from their respective bouts of boredom. The gang reassembles just in time to sell a gold ring for a glamorous widow.

Lovejoy's romance with Victoria has him floating on air. Unfortunately, his renewed joie de vivre is awful for business, which has slipped to the backburner. Will he reform his flaky ways, or lose one of his most lucrative clients yet?

Lovejoy takes a sailing getaway with Victoria, and Tinker reunites with a friend traveling with the band Hothouse Flowers. He needs housing for the rockers, and Lady Jane is eager to help.

Lovejoy gets roped into accompanying Lady Jane to a burial at sea for her former housekeeper's brother, a submarine captain in WWII.

Lovejoy is brought along as a consultant on a luxe shopping spree by a moneyed Australian businessman looking to snap up some pricey antiques. Meanwhile, a judge's wife resorts to covertly stealing and selling a rare silver spoon to pay off her blackmailers.

Lovejoy stands a lot to gain, and a lot to lose, when a dealer contracts him to value an ancient Chinese terracotta pig on a percentage commission. Eric goes into the used motorbike business, but his sales tactics do more harm than good.

Lovejoy's daughter, Vicki, finds an 18th-century basket guard sword stashed in the attic of her flat. An unknown buyer offers Lovejoy a lavish price for the weapon. But what he knows and how he intends to use the sword are suspect.

What seems like a petty spat between Jane and Alexander over an Anatolian rug spells greater marital troubles ahead. At an auction, a young Arab man explodes with anger when a mystery caller decides to drop his bid on a similar rug.

Lovejoy visits Reverend Nettles, who needs help identifying antiques that the church could auction off. Nothing shows much promise except a 300-year-old dish currently being used as a dog bowl. The reverend will give it to Lovejoy for free if he can accomplish an impossible feat.

Lovejoy loses his chance to procure a Spencelayh painting for Jane when his wife urges him to find Vicki, who's vanished from her flat. That's not the only mystery he must solve: there seems to be a forgery racket pumping fake paintings into the market.

To Lovejoy's delight, his landlord, Freddie, calls from Spain and informs him that he has no plans to return to England. He then asks Lovejoy to value the local country club's tournament trophy, but when it's proven a fake, Lovejoy will have to ruffle some feathers to find out who snagged the real one.

Jane implores Lovejoy to travel with her to Kilbeg House, a grand estate that's fallen upon hard times under the ownership of her friend, Katriona. The mission is to identify valuable antiques within, but to do so, Lovejoy and Jane will have to work together very closely.

Lady Jane is keeping Lovejoy at arm's length. Meanwhile, a war veteran thought to be dead returns after a 50-year absence to claim some buried diamonds. But someone else has his eye on them.
