5. Peak Vintage McShane (The Judas Pair)

It's the darkest episode to date as Lovejoy comes up against a Real Baddie. Based on an even darker book, join the metropolitan liberal elite as they discuss Detective Lovejoy (much to Em's disgust) and perform a stunning rendition of the Antiques Roadshow theme. We also recast the series for the modern age, try to decide where Lovejoy studied and struggle to choose our Antique of the Week - Eric's ghettoblaster or Ian McShane's legs? The original Lovejoy episode was written by Ian La Frenais (based on The Judas Pair, by Jonathan Gash) and directed by Baz Taylor. Antique of the Week: Apothecary Box (in the end!)
