I have rediscovered this really good series and having watched several of them again have only one comment to make and that is that I would have given this an even greater score if there had been a different Eric Catchpole, Chris Jury is rubbish as an actor and really lets the side down. Tinker Dill is a wonderful character that I'm sure to most viewers epitomizes the laid back goings-on in a rural antique business. Lovejoy himself is very well played and has just enough roguish charm to make it all work. Lady Jane, well now there's a thing, dare I say thinking mans crumpet, absolutely marvellous, even Charley Gimbert is well played and it is a shame that all of them have to work so hard to cover the crass ineptitude of Catchpole.
