Detectorists

Starting a re-run on Drama Sky Channel 143 right now. Perfect sitcom - great cast and the antidote to all the shit from today - will lead in to HIGNFY on BBC1 at 9.20pm when I expect Hislop and Merton to disembowel the Tories tonight

One of the best ever drama/comedies of all time of its type IMHO.

Agree with this. Just perfect tv.

Its just whimsical escapism isn't it? British comedy at its best - great cast

 

[Barcon]

I just watched this myself for the first time and thought it was great.

Anyone found a 1981 Fanta ring pull yet? Or half a Matchbox Fiat Coupe'?

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Wonderful series.

 

[Mike N]

It’s one of my very favourites. Quality British tv.

Brilliant series. Think it was the first episode when Toby Jones found something:

“Ring pull. Tizer. 1973”!

When Mackenzie Crook invited his other half to a talk about buttons:

“Buttons?!! Fuck off!”

I thought the Simon/Garfunkel stuff was the best.

The ‘Magpie’ scene was sublime tv.

yes that was well done - lots of references to the Sound of Silence etc - it was full of lovely little throw away lines which were devastatingly funny

At the very end? It was brilliant !!

I loved the guy with the invisible dogs that finally set about the rival gang - that was a brilliant scene. And the ex-cop who was still pursuing a murder case and got himself blown up

My first introduction was the, He's a massive knob". "Has he"? "No, he is one. Not, he has one".

The farmer with the invisible dog was great!

Such laid back comedy but such a gem

When lance + Toni leave the hypnotists, she offers to buy a chippy tea, his reply is one of the best callback lines ever. Very clever writing.
I'm sure I've read somewhere there's to be a crimbo special this year. Hope so, brilliant series.

Best ending and best theme tune ever- sublime
