Did you know
• In the novels, Lovejoy was in his twenties. Ian McShane was forty-four when he first played the character.
• Some items of furniture shown in the Lovejoy series were made and carved in Suffolk by a local furniture maker and master carver Nicholas Webb.
• A trademark feature of the show is the way that Lovejoy occasionally addresses the camera (and therefore the viewer) with a cheeky quip or a roguish "Well, what would *you* have done?" as he is about to get the better of another character in a crooked antiques deal, breaking the fourth wall.
