One of my fave Lovejoy episodes.

Jim Leonard,Lovejoy’s old mentor,asks for his help in a plot to sting greedy Dutch art dealer Hans Koopman,who once cheated Jim’s wife’s Judy’s late father. At a weekend house party where Tinker poses as a lord and Eric as a gentleman farmer they persuade Koopman to buy a fake Klimt painting in exchange for a parcel of diamonds but on Monday morning Lovejoy discovers that Koopman is not the only person whom the Leonards have deceived.

For many reasons. Ian McShane and usual suspects but also Richard Griffiths and Joe Duttine who later became better known for Henry Crabbe and his young chef Steve Turner in Pie in the Sky.

The link? KLIMT. Whose art I love and adore and……….if ever/whenever I get the time and resources, I really want to reproduce (image above) in mosaic.

Sigh
