One Born Every Minute
11 July 2023
Once again with money troubles, Lovejoy's car needs fixing so he needs cash.

Major Chatfield (Jeremy Child) knows this and makes Lovejoy an offer to find someone. An Ashley Wilkes (Tom Wilkinson) who specialises in painting cottages, the Major wants him to paint a mural.

A lie that Lovejoy falls for as there is £200 in it for him. Two sinister men pressurise the Major for Wilkes to be found swiftly.

It turns out that Ashley Wilkes is a lothario. He carefully chooses the cottages to be paint. The resident is a mature pretty woman who tends to be neglected by their husbands.

Wilkes gives them much needed relief. As Major Chatfield found out when his wife ran off with Wilkes.

A small charming story. It takes a while for Lovejoy to fathom that Wilkes is a character from Gone With The Wind.

Tom Wilkinson gets to play a rare romantic part. Lovejoy seems rather envious of Wilkes lifestyle.
