The dark side of antiques
I have very fond memories of this lovely, gentle, fun but exciting series. It was perfect Sunday evening viewing in my house, something all the family could watch.There was the occasional coarse word or double entendre, but that was alright because my parents thought we didn't understand!It bore little resemblance, however, to the books on which it was based. The Lovejoy series, by author Jonathan Gash, portray a much darker, nastier world, with an appropriatley seedier Lovejoy.The TV series was the sanitised version, but no worse for that.I would, however, encourage any real fans of the series to also read the books, and see the dark side of the antiques world.
