Ian McShane and Dudley Sutton are a great team as Lovejoy and Tinker, although they're sadly not together very much in this instalment of the series. Fans of earlier episodes may miss Lady Jane and Eric, (I do) but the thrust of the Lovejoy stories is always the search for a marvelous antiquity and dangerous villains who threaten to find it first. On that score, The Stones of Destiny is a good lark.
Lecherous Lovejoy makes a play for beautiful Charlotte whilst together they search for a stolen cross and its mate, apparently to be found in Wales. Not so charming Charlie thinks Lovejoy is working on a restoration project for him when he's actually weekending many miles away. Almost every episode involves putting one over on Charlie while scoring that rare antique and this is more of the same, but with well loved characters leading the action, it's all good fun.
