Trivia

Something of a mystery surrounds Lovejoy's daughter. In Lovejoy: Sugar & Spice, 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. See more »

User Reviews

Interesting, humorous and unusual crime stories.
18 July 1999 | by (Chapel Hill, N.C., U.S.A.) – See all my reviews

Excellent series full of humour and wit. Stories well written. Deals with the 'life and times' of an antiques dealer with a problem with commitment except to friends. Terrific supporting cast who play their roles with a joy and bring depth to their characters. Wonderfully interesting stories - I especially enjoyed seeing the 'J. Arthur Rank gong' again after an absence of many years - I hope that it has now found its way into a museum for safe keeping! I wish that a new series would be produced but, and here I compliment the BBC, the production company know when to end a series - that is, while it is still excellent!
