You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Lovejoy''''' is a British television [[comedy-drama]] [[mystery fiction|mystery]] series, based on the [[Lovejoy (novel series)|novel]]s by [[John Grant (Lovejoy)|John Grant]] under the pen name Jonathan Gash. The show, which ran to 71 episodes over six series, was originally broadcast on [[BBC One|BBC1]] between 10 January 1986 and 4 December 1994, although there was a five-year gap between the first and second series. It was adapted for television by [[Ian La Frenais]].

==Overview==
((Main|List of Lovejoy episodes))

The series concerns the adventures of the eponymous Lovejoy, a roguish [[antiques dealer]] based in [[East Anglia]] filmed around [[Long Melford]].<ref>((cite news |last1=Cranford |first1=Helen |title=In Constable country |work=The Times |issue=68010 |date=28 February 2004 |page=171|issn=0140-0460))</ref> Within the trade, he has a reputation as a "divvy",<ref>((cite web | url=https://televisionheaven.co.uk/reviews/lovejoy | title=Lovejoy ))</ref> a person with almost unnatural powers of recognising exceptional items as well as distinguishing genuine antiques from fakes or forgeries.

==Characters==
* Lovejoy, played by [[Ian McShane]], a less than scrupulous yet likeable rogue antique dealer  
* Eric Catchpole, played by [[Chris Jury]] (series 1–5; guest, series 6), Lovejoy's younger, enthusiastic, but ever so slightly dim, assistant
* Tinker Dill, played by [[Dudley Sutton]], "barker" and tout who is friends with Lovejoy
* Lady Jane Felsham, played by [[Phyllis Logan]] (series 1–5; guest, series 6), has a friendly, flirtatious relationship with Lovejoy, often helping him with his deals
* Charlie Gimbert, played by [[Malcolm Tierney]] (series 1, 4–5), Lovejoy's landlord and the owner of a local [[auction house]], he is also Lovejoy's nemesis within the antiques trade
* Beth Taylor, played by [[Diane Parish]] (series 5–6), Lovejoy's new apprentice following the departure of Eric Catchpole
* Charlotte Cavendish, played by [[Caroline Langrishe]] (series 5–6), an auctioneer who becomes Lovejoy's love interest

==Broadcast history==
The series was notable for its style and pace. Lovejoy would frequently break the [[fourth wall]], revealing his thoughts and motives by addressing the audience directly. The first series was shown on BBC1 in the first half of 1986. It concluded with a two-part special.

Despite the first series being a moderate ratings success, ''Lovejoy'' was not brought back until January 1991. The original four cast members returned for the next two series between 1991 and 1992. With the start of the fourth series in 1993, [[Malcolm Tierney]] reprised his first series role as Charlie Gimbert.

During the fifth series, several cast changes were made. Phyllis Logan left the show in the second episode and Chris Jury departed in the sixth episode, although both characters returned for the sixth series finale. Two new regular characters were added: Lovejoy's new apprentice, Beth Taylor, and Charlotte Cavendish, who ran a local antiques auction house.

The sixth and final series of ten episodes was broadcast between October and December 1994. Two ninety-minute ''Lovejoy'' specials for Christmas were shown in 1992 and 1993. The theme tune used in the opening and end credits, as well as the incidental music for each episode, was composed by [[Denis King]].

==Releases==
In the United States, the series was first broadcast on the [[A&E Network]]. It was marketed as ''The Lovejoy Mysteries'' on [[VHS]] in the United States. The [[DVD]] release of the entire series has returned to the title of ''Lovejoy''.
