Bin Diving is going through rubbish in the hope of finding valuable items that have been discarded. As Lovejoy tells the viewer, each year millions of pounds of prized assets are unwittingly thrown away.
Eric is caught bin diving by dustman Brian Nunn (Warren Clarke) who regards looking for discarded valuable in the bins as his domain. He and his crew teach Eric a lesson.
Luckily Brian is a friend of Lovejoy. Both attract the attention of the police. When widow Mrs Jaglom (Brenda Bruce) is burgled, soon after Lovejoy paid a visit to value her antiques.
DS Graham Bentley (Neil Dudgeon) hauls in Lovejoy after he buys an item that Brian picked up from the tip.
Both of them unite to find the real culprits. Two overprivileged oinks seem to be their targets.
It is notable that Eric still seems to be wet behind the ears. Brian should had been a character who maybe should have reappeared in the show. I did like Lovejoy doing a valuation round where people are disappointed that their junk is not worth more.
