Love a bit of Lovejoy. I can just about remember it when it was first shown, but I've watched it many times since. I find it very nostalgic with a Suffolk countryside with far less traffic and far fewer w*nkers speeding about in four wheel drives hogging the lanes. Poor old Tinker would have been splattered all over the road had he been operating now. Also, barely a mobile phone in sight and the necessity to leave messages in pubs and railway signal boxes. Fantastic.

They had so many top notch actors - all the top British thesps and Linda Wossaname from Dallas - I think it must have been a highly sought after gig. My favourite episode is where Loveejoy's down-on-his-luck aristo mate turns up and needs to turn 38p into £3000 or something in a day. The speeded up film carrying antiques to buy and sell from shop to shop in Clare or wherever it was is ace!

I'm not sure I've ever watched a full episode (possibly wasn't on TV when I was younger) but I always have a flick through when it is on to see if I can spot any local filming locations.

Felsham Hall was actually Belchamp Hall at Belchamp Walter, which was also featured (with the adjacent church) at the beginning of one of the Downton Abbey films.

The last episode I caught a bit of had them speeding through the ford in Kersey. There are lots of pretty villages in East Anglia.

Long Melford. I was a passer-by in that episode. Mostly by accident.

They filmed at Pin Mill, at the Butt & Oyster in one episode. Not sure they ever filmed it Ipswich itself though


It was mostly West Suffolk iirc

That was the one with Alf Garnet wasn't it? And Charlie lost his Purdeys.

Is the Butt and Oyster still going? That was a lovely spot back in the day. The Ramsholt Arms was another favourite on a summer evening. The Ship Inn at Levington was another good one, as it’d serve the beer straight out of tapped barrels. TWTD.

The only trouble with a lot of the best pubs around Suffolk is you had to drive to them.

I remember them filming in Lavenham when I was a kid. In one episode they go down the Alley off the Market Square and emerged in Bury St Edmund’s. Also in one episode they were eating takeaway fish and chips, which never happened as a fish and chip shop was never allowed in Lavenham.

I was at sixth form in BSE at the time it was broadcast. Tho never actually saw any of the filming, it was fun seeing where you'd been that afternoon on the TV in the evening.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

The chip shop may have been Oysters in Braintree.
