Even for a show full of unintelligible, poncey accents, and coming on the heels of an episode that featured a bunch of unintelligible Irish accents, we get a bunch of unintelligible drunk old people spouting, wel, I can't tell what version of the English language they're supposed to be speaking. Are they Scottish?
Next, more evidence they filmed these episodes out of order. Last week, Lovejoy was ready to sail around the world with Joanna Lumley. Five minutes into this episode, he's mad to be stuck on a rusty WWII cruiser, ''I hate ships!" Or is he drawing a distinction between ships and yachts? Who cares.
And that's all assuming viewers can get past Dill and Dough yelling at Lovejoy to wake up in the first scene, and then blowing a trumpet in his ear.
On the ship we get a bunch of shouting drunk old guys.
Just terrible.
