What a racket
ArtVandelayImporterExporter25 December 2023
Is there anything worse than traditional Irish music? How about Irish music that is part folk and part grunge (early 90s version of American rock).

The Hothouse Flowers were this episode's guest stars. Greasy longhairs who play terrible music.

That's half the episode.

The other half has Joanna Lumley held over as the guest star from S3E2, which was quite entertaining because Lumley's character put a skip in Lovejoy's step, distracted him to Lady Jane's consternation, but by the end the episode he'd come through in the clutch on an art sale.

At that point, they should have let Lumley sail off into the sunset. She's an under-rated actress and a beautiful woman, but in this episode it's just too much. Lovejoy's got the googoo eyes. It made me want to barf. Lumley continues to shine, though. I'd only known her because my wife loves, loves, loves AbFab. But now I want to see more of Lumley's movies. She is, absolutely fabulous.

The writers need to get back to a grittier Lovejoy. Not lovesick Lovejoy.
