Lovejoy

For years and years one of the Dad's favorite shows has been Lovejoy, a British import formerly on A&E, with Ian McShane in the title role. You rarely see Lovejoy on tv these days, but interestingly, on Sunday nights one of our PBS stations has been showing them. This Sunday's episode is one in which Lovejoy (a crafty antiques dealer) has been recently released from a short jail stint after having been wrongly convicted of dealing in stolen property. What did Lovejoy do during is time in prison? "I've begun writing a book on Spode."
