Wednesday, Dec. 12 - Lovejoy: Benin Bronze

Season 3, Episode 5 Benin Bronze (9 Feb. 1992)

Wealthy Australian Greg Veitch arrives in East Anglia looking for his 'Eureka',the thing that he must have, and believes he has found it in a Beninese bronze sculpture belonging to Sir Max Spence. Problems obtaining an export licence leads to him doing a deal with Sir Max and a local forger to get the statue out of the country. When it goes missing Lovejoy comes under suspicion but discovers that police inspector Shand is not all he claims to be - just as Veitch will have a similar experience with the bronze, which will lead him to seek revenge.
