    We’ve seen both Billy and Charlie before, at the storage auction when they were testing Romesh’s powers, and in the pub when Amy was chasing leads. I don’t think we’ve seen Billy’s partner-in-crime before, and I don’t believe she ever gets a name.

    This whole adventure reminds me of the plotline for the movie Mortdecai. Mortdecai is forced to search for the maguffin because everyone who is trying to steal it thinks he already has it. (Quite a fun little movie — not great, but entertaining.)

    It seems antiques is a rough business; looks more like thuggery and thievery.

    The antiquarian’s tools in trade: a jeweler’s loupe, a chamois cloth, a magnifying glass, and a crowbar.
