Lovejoy (novel series)

Lovejoy is a series of picaresque novels by John Grant (under the pen name Jonathan Gash) about the adventures of Lovejoy, a British antiques dealer and faker based in East Anglia. A less than scrupulous yet likeable rogue, Lovejoy has a reputation in the antiques trade as a "divvie" (possibly derived from "diviner" although several of the books question this), meaning one with an almost supernatural talent for recognising exceptional items as well as for distinguishing fakes or forgeries from genuine antiques. Lovejoy's first name is never mentioned in the books. In the TV series based on the novels, he insists on being addressed by all solely as "Lovejoy".

Television adaptation

From 1986 to 1994 a television adaptation of the books was produced airing 73 episodes in total. The first series, aired in 1986, remained close to the books while from the second series onwards it began to develop its own identity.

    Drug Autumn

    by: Lovejoy

    It was the drug autumn
    so we took as many as we could get
    It was the drug autumn
    you could taste the disappointment in the air
    What I gave up was far more precious
    than what I gave
    but by then it was already too late
    It was the drug autumn
    so we took as many as we could get
    playing Dexy's records
    and never ever going out
