Lovejoy, played by Ian McShane of Deadwood, is the epitome of a lovable rogue. Even over Christmas he remains his irascible, greedy, lustful self, eyeing attractive women and contemplating how much money he can get for a questionable antique. In The Prague Sun, Lovejoy, his flunky Eric Catchpole (Chris Jury), and the lovely Lady Felsham (Phyllis Logan) travel eastward to solve the mystery of hidden diamond--a story that features Nazis, a secret policewoman in a leopardskin hat, and a Communist dealer in "acquired" art (played by Donald Pleasance, Halloween). The direction is unusually evocative, getting a lot of atmospheric mileage from a moth in a lighting fixture and other images. The Lost Colony takes Lovejoy in the opposite direction as he travels to North Carolina, where he discovers distant relatives and a host of Deep South cliches (including a yokel policeman and someone getting eaten by an alligator). Despite some overacting and bad Southern accents, McShane carries things along with a wry glance to the camera and a sly turn of phrase. This second special features the series' later supporting players, including Diane Parish as young protege Beth and Caroline Langrishe as love interest Charlotte, but Dudley Sutton remains as Lovejoy's tippling friend Tinker and Sir John Gielgud (Arthur) adds a touch of class with a guest appearance. To sum up: Two strong episodes that no fan of the series should be without. --Bret Fetzer

Lovejoy Fan January 6, 2009
For fans of Lovejoy this is a fun CD. Good story and great characters make these specials worth your time.
 Great fun, great characters December 26, 2008
I am such a big fan of all the British mysteries. I believe my love for antiques and beautiful women, puts Lovejoy on top. Just wish they would hurry and put all of them on DVD for US deprived folks in the colony.
Preaching to the choir! December 11, 2008
I would assume that most buying this DVD are fans of Lovejoy, and that they were on pins and needles waiting for the Christmas Special release along with upcoming season 4. This was an extrodinary show, that needs no vamping by me. If you are a true fan of the Lovejoy series, just be happy that they continue to release the episodes and seasons that made us happy. Enjoy

All the Lovejoys are great. The only thing better would be more Lovejoy series. Keep them coming. patregis
The shows are great...BUT November 2, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Both shows are great. These programs are both full-length films. One has a Christmas theme...the other does not. Both are great shows. My "BUT" refers to the Amazon.com habit of not clearing the order when it has been shipped/received. I ordered another DVD a week later and they not only filled that order, but re-filled this one. I now have TWO copies of this DVD. I decided that it would be easier to give one as a gift than to totally confuse the issue by returning it. I have another DVD pre-order coming out in early January. I only hope that I get that one in just one copy. I will not order anything else from this company until that order is filled AND the past history is CLEARED!!
