A shock exit (rather more whimper than bang, if we’re honest) and an improbably large sideboard this week as Tink and Eric try to go on holiday, while DCI Sharp (ANTIQUES SQUAD) is determined to nick Lovejoy for reasons known only to himself and his dot matrix printer.

The original Lovejoy episode was written by John Milne and directed by Jim Hill.

Antique of the Week: Snakey and Black and ringing your friends from the pub (probably cos you’ve had too much snakey n black…)
