Line #7 YMMV/Lovejoy

Context YMMV / Lovejoy

Go To


1	!!The comedy-drama series
2	* RetroactiveRecognition:
3	** While Lovejoy was his StarMakingRole in the UK, Creator/IanMcShane would be better known internationally for his role as Al Swearengen in ''Series/{{Deadwood}}''.
4	** A nurse in "God Helps Those" is played by Creator/AndreeBernard, who would later be best known for playing Liz Burton in ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}''.
5	** Florence from "God Helps Those" is played by Creator/LizSmith, who would later be best known for playing Mrs Cropley in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley'' and Nana in ''Series/TheRoyleFamily''.
6	** Sergeant Pulver is played by Creator/GaryWaldhorn, who would later be best known for playing David Horton in ''Series/TheVicarOfDibley''.
7	** Dennis from "Members Only" is played by Creator/TerryJohn, who would later be best known for playing Percy in ''Series/OhDoctorBeeching''.
8	** The episode "Bin Diving" featured not one but two supporting roles for actors who sooner or later went on to long-running lead roles as police detectives. A few years later Creator/WarrenClarke would become DSU Andy Dalziel in ''Series/DalzielAndPascoe'', while nearly 20 years down the track Neil Dudgeon (who plays a policeman ''in'' the episode) ended up as DCI John Barnaby in ''Series/MidsomerMurders''.
9	* ValuesDissonance: Some of Lovejoy's flirting registers as more creepy than charming when viewed today, such as this exchange (from Season 2's "Bin Diving") when Lovejoy wakes up on Jane's couch and asks if they had sex:
10	-->'''Jane:''' No we did not! You were out cold.\
11	'''Lovejoy:''' Are you sure?\
12	'''Jane:''' I think I'd be the first to know about it, don't you?\
13	'''Lovejoy:''' [[DudeShesLikeInAComa Not necessarily]].

15	!!The band
16
17	* CoveredUp: Based on viewership statistics, their ([[ApprovalOfGod god-approved]]) cover of Music/LosCampesinos' "Knee Deep at ATP" is vastly more popular than the original.
18	* EpicRiff: Starts with one on "Taunt".
19	* FandomVIP: Being the first subscriber to both Lovejoy and Ash Kabosu's [=YouTube=] channels, joining the band for their writing sessions, stopping "Perfume" from being cut from the ''Pebble Brain'' EP, being the announcer for Lovejoy if/when they go on tour, outright ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c76uP8NlMNI playing and practising with the band]]''... it's no wonder [=TommyInnit=] is considered the #1 Lovejoy stan, if not a PromotedFanboy.
20	* FirstInstallmentWins: A substantial part of the fanbase considers ''Are You Alright?'' better than ''Pebble Brain'' due to, among other things, the latter's muted vocals.
