Storyline

Charlie Gimbert,Lovejoy's former landlord,returns,with Murray McNally,a once famous snooker player,now a bad-tempered drunk,whose management Gimbert has 'inherited'. McNally is anxious to locate and buy the billiard table that once belonged to Mary,Queen of Scots and the trail leads to Fotheringay and Sir Anthony,descendant of the queen's last jailer. The table is - apparently - still there and Gimbert buys it,as a gimmick,to raise cash on McNally's exhibition tour. McNally himself has other plans for the table.
