My TV hero: Russell Tovey on Lovejoy
In a world where the worst crime is a faked landscape painting, Ian McShane's Lovejoy was a lovable rogue with a mullet
As told to Vicky Frost
guardian.co.uk, Monday 4 July 2011
Russell: When I was a child I was quite eccentric. I was obsessed with Antiques Roadshow, and my mum used to take me to car boot sales at the weekend. My mum collected things, and I've been a collector my whole life – now it's art, rather than antiques – and so Lovejoy, with Ian McShane in the lead role, was my favourite programme.
I was about six or seven years old, and I'd be very excited about Sunday night TV – Antiques Roadshow followed by Lovejoy. Hours of antiques television! I loved that Lovejoy was this romanticised antique dealer with a motorbike and a mullet. I just thought: "What's not cool about that?"
He was a bit of a lothario, I suppose; a bit of a rogue. But what I loved was that while Lovejoy wasn't that smart, he could always spot a forgery or a fake from the real thing and that while his friend Tinker, played by Dudley Sutton, was the real brains behind things, Lovejoy was the face of business. He was what I wanted to be when I grew up, I suppose – although sadly my hair is too curly to be a good mullet.
I have since watched Ian McShane in a few episodes of Deadwood but to be honest, I want him to stay as Lovejoy. To me, that's who he will always be. He always seemed really cool.
As a child it felt like while Lovejoy was an adult show, it was also a safe, happy place, where the worst crime was a faked landscape painting. The show also starred Phyllis Logan, who is a great actress.
I've haven't actually rewatched it as a grownup. If I did, it would take me right back to being an antiques-obsessed, eccentric child. Perhaps I should treat myself to the box set – but then when you watch things back as an adult, they are never as good as they were when you were a kid. Also, sadly, I think Lovejoy has probably dated – and I'm just not going to respect that haircut as much now.
