    Ahh !. This is the original recording of the theme. I often wonder, that, why ,“ If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”!. Of course, all successful series are always tampered with, and the music never escapes !.
    This is slower than subsequent versions, and for me has never been bettered.
    But such a lovely program.
    There’s nothing like it now. x x .

    This series is in my annual rotation, usually around late winter-early spring just to remind me of my brief time living over there in cold, damp, and austere conditions . I'm currently reading The Judas Pair (Jonathan Gash), which is the first ever entrance of Lovejoy into pop culture. The first season was much darker than the rest and the book is much darker than the show. Brilliant casting!

    Out of all the intros to this show, this is, by far, my favorite one, even though it didn't list the guest artists like the subsequent seasons did.

    Coincidentally, "The Axeman cometh" was also the title of a Midsomers Murder episode which featured Suzie Quattro.

    Around 5:30. Probably referring to the red Mark 3 Cortina estate seen at 5:08.

    Over the almost 40 years since it came to our screens back in January 86, I have watched the whole 70 odd episodes at least 10 times over and I have never tired of it. If I had to sit in one of the four chairs on Mastermind, my chosen subject would be Lovejoy. It ended on a high when the last episode was screened and I hoped for a return but sadly that will never be now. Btw...The Firefly Cage was the first ever episode not this one.

    • @terrortorn

      The firefly cage episode is the first in the boxset but I think this one sets the character in the first three minutes as if it was originally written as the opening episode.

      @@terrortorn …sorry I beg to differ, if you watch the very first episode ‘the firefly cage’ you will see his character as an antique dealer and his lifestyle he leads has already been established along with the introduction of certain main characters in the lovejoy series whilst this episode 2 ‘the axe-man cometh’ merely continues to reveal a bit more of the dodgy person he his.

      @@brevlod Yes I grant you Firefly does do that especially with the introduction of Eric, he has already been introduced by Axe man. But when the tax woman is in hot pursuit we establish he brassic, drives a clapped out motor, well known, look upon fondly, in trouble with the taxman, in the trade, a ducker and diver and in and out of money. The introduction continues in Gimberts farmhouse sale, "they neither have the knowledge or the skill, but I have". It is effortless exposition.

      @@terrortorn ….we already established he is skint in episode 1, his poor attire, the car he drives, the rented accommodation supplied by Gimbert whom he owes a fortune to in unpaid rent, the quick uptake of the money given to him by Eric to teach him the trade which was from Eric’s uncle, the keenness to make a fast buck in way/ means that he can, his whole demeanour. So for the tax man to be on his back is no surprise really.
