POPULARITY
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 **

Back to school everyone, yep we’re back with Series Five (and with Helen!) Another weird birthday present kicks off the plot this episode as we learn there’s no such thing as a micropig, why you can’t hide a wrapped-in-a-bin-bag-bronze forever and wonder if Helen used her time off to create the Wikipedia entry on The History of Telephone Numbers in the United Kingdom…Antique of the Week: (all together now) Oh eight one, eight one one, eight one, EIGHT ONE!The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor.
We open this week after a very exciting trip to Taco Bell (the official restaurant of podcasts, according to Em at least) and a question around the plural of cannon. Or is it cannons? We're discussing an absolutely delightful episode, starring Leslie Philips (ding dong!) as a flaky arms dealer and Harry Landis as an argumentative yet apologetic old gent, as we see an Anxious Tinker and Lovejoy flirts with a magnificent lady mullet. Grab a cup of tea, or a glass of wine, and settle down with us to learn all about the 17th century equivalent of those magic eye pictures from the 90s, the point of paperweights and just what the difference is between bricks and cats. The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor. Antique of the Week: Anamorphic pictures and a mummified rat.Please support Royal Trinity Hospice if you can!You can find the Folklore Podcast episode Em mentions, here.
A pint of bitter and a pint of gin please, we're back! Yes, it's Pol the cough, Helen the croak and Em the noise (or is it The Thigh?) return for 2020 with SERIES FOUR (what the actual heck!) Lovejoy doesn't have a pot to piss in this week... or does he have Napoleon's? We meet Senor Freddy El Telefono, a très French Napoleon expert and an attractive lady potter in a classic Terry Hoggkinson episode replete with one liners, foreign accents and a mystery - just what WAS in that wolf?! There's also a brief return from Fred West's cardigan, some malevolent morris dancers and a glancing mention of Charlie Gimbert as Em gets spooked by The Witches, we learn when a commode is not a commode and the adhesive bonding properties of old cheese. Antique of the Week: Pianolas (and payphones in pubs) The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor. You can read all about Professor Hood's experiment here: and listen to the episode of Witness History on Albert Pierrepoint here.
It’s finally here! Polly’s favourite episode!A lovely church, a vicar who is not Ian McKellen and a mysterious object this week as Lovejoy has a run in with the county archaelogist (which is apparently a job) and dodgy Derek Rudge (a notorious low flier.) Plus another dog using a priceless item for its own ends (please note we are NOT blaming the dog.)We discuss Eric’s professional development, argue about what exactly constitutes a ‘malted milk’ whilst remembering what we wanted to do at school - and what school told us to do - Em's crush on David Duchovny (don't tell Eric) and a very, very spooky song. Helen’s knowledge of lyrics remains unsurpassed, along with her ability to still write a cheque.Antique of the Week: Grandfather clocks (unhaunted.)The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor (dream team.)
Pour yourself a chianti/crack open a surreptitious can for our latest Italian flavoured episode as we discover just who should own “the medals of the brother of Jane’s old housekeeper Vera.”We spend this week with a morose and yet terribly poetic Lovejoy, as he’s cajoled into a funeral on a boat (his least favourite place) leaving Eric to explore the virtues of Catalytic Acrylic Polymer Resin and Jane to branch out into her new career as language teacher. We enjoy some serious leggings, a claustrophobic submarine and Eric in a hat (SWOON) as well as some family history from Em and Pol, Helen’s crush on Tony Flags and a trip down memory lane as we get all nostalgic about pagers. Have fun, and remember if you’re feeling a bit low: Meerkats.For those of you bellowing at the podcast like an angry ghost, Em has remembered she meant Sam Kelly. You too can enjoy four full pages of internet debate here: https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/allo-allo-myth.26286/Antique of the week: a tub of butterscotch yogurt.The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor.Find us online @lovejoyapod and chuck us a quid over on Patreon if you can.
BRI-AN BLESS-ED joins the cast this week and we’re here for it listener, we are here for it. We’ve also got our first podcast coup with an amazing Behind The Scenes email from Terry H himself!This extra long episode takes in both parts of the Series Two finale, and we’re delighted to see the return of an old chum from the very first series - Mr. Frobel (complete with bacon sandwich.) Lovejoy’s put his scarf back on as he searches out some Lalique for a lovely lady and gets caught up in yet another mad scam in international waters. Well, the Solent.Settle in as we discuss Abraham's Saucepan, buying shoes (or not) in Elephant and Castle, an unexpected Donald Trump reference and that well known Russian triumvirate of borscht, vodka and… mouse wee?The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Francis Megahy.
Lovejoy finds himself doing yet another favour for Jane and Eric falls foul of a gang of bullying bin men in a mysterious dumpster-diving commotion this week.We discuss giving pets human names, the past participle of bin dive (bin dove? bin... divven?) and Brixton's next culinary destination "Dirty Spaghetti" whilst being only slightly weirded out by an elderly dead woman's stockings and some tip-soiled copies of Razzle.We meet Brian Nunn the Unexpected Feminist, played by the brilliant Warren Clarke, and enjoy other performances from not-actually-Janine-Duvitsky; a very talented dog called Ben, and Em’s other boyfriend - Neil Dudgeon.Listen and find out all about Pol’s ongoing feud with Barnet council, Em’s fear of home “intrusions” and Helen’s childhood in the Serengeti (which isn't a desert after all, thanks Pol.)Antique of the Week: the (pottery) King of Sardinia; a young Neil Dudgeon; the chair which may or may not be the same chair from Episode 2, Series 6The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Baz Taylor.
Lovejoy is in demand! He decamps away to a houseboat in London whilst trying to offload a snazzy bit of headwear. We dust off our schoolgirl French, discuss stereotyping on TV and stop Pol googling something she definitely, definitely shouldn't.The original Lovejoy episode was written by Terry Hodgkinson and directed by Roger Tucker.
