I was going to work on the tube and Mckenzie Crook was sitting opposite me, we both got off at Oxford Circus and were going in the same direction, so i told him what a wonderful series it was, we had a good ole 10 minute chat until we went separate directions, lovely guy, really shy and understated. Yes he did have a cap on!
Underrated*?
@@dvdv8197 No i think he meant understated as in "presented or expressed in a subtle and effective way" talking about his character rather than how he is perceived
@@alnicholson4344 hmmm I would never use that for a person, but I guess if it's for his character...
The feeling I get from Show is memories of childhood, countryside and of course it has me pondering the history of our land.
@@dvdv8197Reddit's that way 👉
I absolutely loved every second of Detectorists. Every character works so well in the series.
Oh please McKenzie let’s have more series, no one is bored with it! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
"Detectorists" is a gem of a character-driven show.
These two brilliant actors are deserving of much better interviewers!
What’s your favourite colour
I used to smoke pot with TJ as a teenager!
McKenzie a humble genius, interviewers arrogant cowboys. Just about sums it up!
Absolutely! They were patience personified :)
A real gem this show is. Nothing else quite like it and would love to see another series. This is what us Brits like about Britain.
I adore this series Mckenzie Crook is a genius! Munchetti is slightly patronizing to Toby Jones here when in fact she barely knows who the actors are in this. Sheila played by Sophie Thompson is Emma Thompsons' sister.....as mentioned do some homework first, these are the finest British actors of our day......show them some respect, please.
That is possibly the worst interview I have ever seen. Toby Jones looked so embarrassed. Anodyne, trite questions and constant interruptions.
@@seankayll9017 every interview on Breakfast is like this.
Fortunately Toby Jones and McKenzie Crook rose above the interviewers and demonstrated their acting and writing genius respectively.
Absolutely inane questions 😡
She's arrogant and pompous.
The interviewers are so up their own backsides. This is a fantastic show, if only the interviewers were that talented.
Well said..
Glad it’s not just me then. These two are hopeless as interviewers!
Cringeworthy interviewers - “Is that your own hat?”
Dreadful interviewing these pair don't have a clue
"did you wash the hat?"
Binged watched the whole lot over the past month. Absolutely loved it. Didn't want it to end. A masterpiece.
Greetings from Ukrainian detectorist 🇺🇦
My family and me love this show so much ❣️
Please don't stop it 🙏
I believe that Mackenzie Crook has so great talent he can make some seasons more 👍
Go carefully my friend. All good wishes from the UK
You have excellent taste.
Hope you are OK
We hope your land will soon be as peaceful as Danebury.
Take care, from all your many friends in the United Kingdom.
Slava Ukraini!❤

This is when uk tv shines.
This series is gentle, humorous and brilliantly written.
Perfect actor selection they suit the roles wonderfully
Well they've done it again the Christmas special was absolutely sublime!! An absolute gem of a watch and totally left open ended so mackenzie crook....please please please on behalf of half the country can we have a 4th series!!!
We need a 4th series!!
I just recently binged the 3 series. It is so good.
The only show I watched over Christmas. The perfect antidote to our ludicrous Government and economic woes. More, more, MORE please 😊
What and you didn't watch gone fishing chichis basically a mirror picture .Same vibe ,same ease ,gentle and drifting ,
Never mind, when the clueless Labour loons come to power, you'll have an even more ludicrous government - though when they balls everything up we'll not hear a whimper of complaint from the likes of you - and I say this as someone who is totally apolitical, so railing up against the Tories in any reply will fall on stoney ground.
@@joeblack8915 you must have missed the last 12 years debacle
Prob ably won;t be any, but I will watch the series again. It was a tonic!
Detectorists is my go-to TV show. It’s so calm and joyful, there’s nothing not to like.
I love The Detectorists. I’m no history/archaeology buff but I find this show really sweet & wholesome for some reason. What can be nicer than indulging in & being passionate about such a gentle hobby. The other characters are fab too. Deadpan Russel, Sheila with her sixth sense and we mustn’t forget Simon & Garfunkel.
This is what the BBC does well, unusual & quirky stuff.
Like you say there were lots of appealing characters.Simon & Garfunkel were an amusing pair and
the other club members had scope for development so why not do more episodes.Sometimes it's nice
to watch something with no horrible people in it,even S & G had me interested in their antics.
Two genius BBC hosts who've clearly never watched the programme. The Christmas special was brilliant and I think Mackenzie has left the storyline open for another one.
Millions of us would agree that “Detectorists” is one of the most underrated TV shows ever. Perhaps some of us would agree that these two overpaid BBC “interviewers” are somewhat overrated ?
NM is so rude - she comes across as standoffish and slightly bored
@@duffyellie BBC shills the pair of them, bought and paid for imho.
You call being discussed on BBC News 'underrated'??
@@geofftayloruk don’t be obtuse 😉 Underrated by the masses given it’s brilliance? certainly. Not really the point of the comment was it.
I'd love to just pick her up with those ears and move her to one side .
The best show ever. Thanks to it I started field walking finding my treasures. Thank you Mr Crook
"What yer got!?" 🙂
And I hope you pay homage at the end of a session with:
"Pub?"
"Go on then!"
Its a program that reminds people of what it was like to be English and live in England, the countryside and English traditions and culture. Unfortunately this a memory to most people thanks to our politicians over the last 30 years destroying it.
👍🏽👏🏼
@@westaussie965 👌
That’s why they had to film it all in Bolivia. Derrr
It’s made now and set now. Englishness, countryside, traditions and culture all live on and are all shown in this wonderful series, just as they continue in real life
In what way? It’s perfectly possible to enjoy the English countryside (or that of any nation) without jingoistic bigotry and English exceptionalism. I’m afraid there’s an unpleasant undertone to your observation.
Total quality , love the Simon and Garfunkel lyric banter.
Best thing on TV this Christmas.
I love Detectorists and the Xmas special was the best show over the festive season , will be watching it again and again . All the characters are so well acted , hope we will see more series in the future , fingers crossed
I was glad ''Simon and Garfunkel' reappeared. Great counter 'baddies' ,such a laugh.
We love this show here in Vermont (I got my wife a Danebury Metal Detectorists Club T-shirt for Christmas).
The real question is: When will we here in the States (finally!) to see the new special??
(E.h. It’s not yet available on Acorn.)
How did I miss this, just started watching the series and it is fantastic, well written and acted. An absolute gem of a program.
I’m only echoing the mutual respect of this amazing series, but it’s SO underrated. Whenever I try to recommend and explain this show to the unconverted, I usually get a strange look and a shrug.
Their loss!
IKWYM........no orange people or fish lips.........thank goodness
Same here, usually the clowns who watch Britains got talent or some other worthless garbage!
It's utterly charming.
That is part of the appeal for many people. The humour is subtle and the charm is in the small details, the strong casting of all the characters and the simple pleasure of being set in the British countryside. It won't appeal to too many of the masses who enjoy such intellectual gems as 'Love Island' and 'I'm a Celebrity'.
Andy: Pub?
Lance: Yeah why not ..
Andy: perb?
Lance: yerr, woy nert
Oh! Joy, the Detectorists doing a special. One of my very favourite programmes, so lovely, and all the great characters making their entrance, surely in these days of absolute rubbish on TV we deserve treats, and the Detecorists never fail to charm us.
How Naga is still employed is quite frankly astounding.
Because she ticks all the BBC 's Woke boxes. Just another entitled, politically correct, easily offended person of colour fulfilling modern era Aunty Beeb's diversity quota . I can't stand the woman.
How she was ever employed is quite frankly astounding!
Bigots
She ticks the diversity box ofcourse!!!!!
I don’t understand, what do you mean ? I think she is great 🤷🏻♂️
So glad Rachel Stirling is back. Excellent actress like her mother.
Came to this late and binge watched all of it last week… currently starting it again for a second watch. I’ve seen it called a ‘ gentle comedy’ which it sort of is… but so much more than that. It’s so well written, full of dry humour, brilliantly acted and it reminds us that it’s simplicity and the small things that make life worth living. A hobby, friendship, the pub, chatting about nonsense, the countryside etc etc. we really don’t need much to be content … that’s my takeaway. It’s a show that makes you feel better
I like Mackenzie Crooks's choice of roles. His Worzel Gummidge was sorely missed this Christmas.
Agreed.
These hosts are clueless, right? HOwever, fantastic sit-comedy/drama. Loved every episode.
It's a beautiful series in every respect, in terms of writing, performances, photography, the lot. Totally uplifting.
And Johnny Flynn's lovely music
and the music I have to add. Never a fan of that folky sound, but I am now, because of this very wholesomely, charming series. I hope we get another.
Probably one of the best programmes on TV. It isn’t belly ache laughing, it is just about too guys who are in some way both lost, dreaming about something. You watch it and it just brings happiness.
Umm well there is gone fishing
@Karl Gone Fishing is good but it doesn't have the same basic charm as Detectorists.
I'm a macro photography and I see myself in what the Detectorists portray. Sitting in silence in fields, it's a beautiful way to spend your free time. Probably why I'm not as miserable as all the people complaining about the hosts.
@@karl9411 I've adored Detectorists since it began and have now rewatched it many time... And everyone who knows me and knows how I love it always recommends Gone Fishing to me... But I can't understand why they do. I've watched the odd episode, and not that there's anything to dislike, but I don't get any of the feelings I love so much form Detectorists from it, so just to say I don't understand why it is everyone (even down to BBC player!) recommends it as if I would feel it at all similarly!!?! I mean, it's fine, but not at all what Detectorists is, to me at least.
@@myelixir umm can’t agree , they are very similar indeed apart from the reality of Gone Fishing as opposed to the fictional Detectorists . In many ways GF hits home even harder during the tender moments.
@@karl9411 I’m not sure if I can put it into words, but although Detectorists is peaceful and has everyday interactions that can be really moving moments in themselves, the profound poignancy from it for me I think comes from the fact that the way detecting is told overall in the story connects us both to The Earth and to All Time and All People and All Living Things and even All Things! I feel it deep in my being, as though it is connecting to something that is part of who we are as humans. Something people perhaps understood long ago (about how we came from The Earth and are The Earth) in a way we can’t feel often in our current, 2023 days or in any of our lifetimes entire because most of us are quite disconnected to The Earth. Yet deep within us, we know it is true and so you can feel it… at a level beyond words which is why it is almost impossible for me at least to describe even remotely satisfactorily.
It makes me feel connected to all humans who ever existed and all who will ever exist and to The Earth and The Birds and The Tress and The Insects. I mean, as you can see, it is hard to describe it. But it is something that very much comes from the narrative of a made-up-story, hewn to have this purpose. For me, this feeling underlies the entirety of Detectorists and is what lies beneath the surface of the minutiae of everyday interactions in the show, making their humanity all the more profound and poignant too.
And so of course I don’t feel this feeling as part of something like Gone Fishing, which literally isn’t a created story at all. Or, maybe I just HATE REALITY and so anything that is real and therefore feels too close to real life, I don't like that it jars me into the terror of my real life rather than being escapism for me too? hahaha!?! Only me, obviously!
Fantastic series, I’ve watched it again and again, and again.
So have I and everyone I recommend it to love it also.
I must admit I didn’t watch much Telly till lockdown when suffering from cabin fever I stumbled upon Detectorists, I fell in love with it. It’s such a gentle comedy. I finally convinced my wife to watch it a couple of months ago and she binge watched it, she loves it too.
One of the best shows the bbc has ever made truly brilliant
I've watched the series 2 twice. Its a great show, thanks from Portland Oregon. We need more shows like Detectorists
Such a fitting end to such a wholesome series
Charlie, not knowing who Rachael Stirling is!
Thank goodness I happened to watch BBC news that morning...I would never have discovered The Detectorists otherwise. We binge watched the entire 3 seasons in 2days. Have yet to watch the Special but looking forward to it. I really hope that they make another series. Gentle lovely comedy with quirky characters & laughed a lot. Loved Sheila! And so lovely to see Diana RIgg and her daughter acting together.😄
Just in case you aren’t aware there was an earlier special between series 2 and 3.
I am very new to Detectorists and what a gem of a series. I started watching in the new year (2023) and have now watched all 3 series...just this Christmas special to watch. the 30 minute program goes by so quickly. Every one of the cast is perfect and relatable. I now want a detector.
Same with me. Having only ever seen part of one episode, I just watched all the episodes in the last couple of weeks, followed by the one off Christmas episode (my least favourite). Well written, beautifully filmed and with some great characters, the half hour episodes seemed to pass all too quickly.
I want a yellow Triumph TR7.
The detectorist is the best thing on the TV I absolutely love it.
Umm well there is gone fishing
It was the only BBC programme that I watched over Christmas. Absolutely brilliant.
One of very few shows I've ever watched twice. Such a good watch
I had not heard of Detectorists, then saw this interview and thought that looks good, watched it and the rest is history!
I love Detectorists and would happily watch a new series should one ever come along. It’s a wonderful show and there aren’t many I’d say that about these days.
Don't forget the brilliant camera person. There are some wonderful nature clips.
This may well prove my weirdness, but I have the theme song in my favourites folder. That's how much of a wonderful, happy impression Detectorists had on me. I'm in Australia now and I am hoping I can watch it here ASAP.
I don't think it's weird at all, I just hope you have all 3 verses! :)
You should check out the rest of Johnny Flynn's work, quite an underrated gem, quite like the Detectorists actually.
Had to laugh these 2 seem to have the same introvert personality as they have in the show , best show I have ever seen
Thankyou, BBC Four, for bringing us the gift of Detectorists.
I have only just found the Detectorists on Netflix and thought it was absolute genius. Hats off (no pun intended) to Mckenzie Crook for creating this little gem! So simple and calming and subtle with the comedy. Was so sad to finish series 3, then someone told me about the Christmas Special.
Us too. Watched all 3 series since last week. Where did you find the Christmas special? I can’t find it anywhere! 😩
Love this show and just watched the Christmas special. What a story and the ending shots were brilliant. Leaves it open for another series or a special. Please BBC let it carry on!
How can one find the christmas special?
Please please make more episodes best programe ever so easy to watch.🥰
It says a lot about the show that so many great actors present and sadly passed work on it. It is a cultural gem and Mackenzie Crook is fast becoming a national treasure (especially considering his work on Worzel Gummidge, as well).
We the public need a new series of the Detectorists
(Mr BBC) you found gold with this don't burry it share the joy 🌈
Simply Wonderful program and the Christmas Special 🎄⛄🎄did not disappoint 👌
Super charming wonderful hours of pleasure sharing the Detectorist World And finding own Roman gold seeing you both 1.1.2023 08:23 Great start of the Year. 🎉
What a delightful couple they are, not Charlie and Naga of course!
This was THE best thing on over Xmas.... actually all year! Superb and nuanced and beautiful and calm and quiet and understated and quaint and eccentric and funny and
... absolutely breathtaking!!!!
I just binged watched all three series in three days. Now I need to find the 2022 special.😪
it's on iPlayer
The same!
There was another special between series 2 and 3.
So happy they did another one of these. This and Gone Fishing have been my favourite comedy shows for a long time.
I adore this show. ❤ I was not aware of this special. I will be checking it out tomorrow. Those two men are epic talents 😊
I loved the bits where they went back in time to show the artefacts being placed where they were found.
Just watched the whole lot on Netflix I absolutely loved it I wish there were more
Brawo Panowie!! Dziękuję za ten wspaniały, fantastyczny serial! 😘🥰❤
Toby has never looked back....he’s in everything these days. Both great guys.
Echoing other comments it was the only program I made a point of watching live over Christmas
Simply brilliant writing and acting
Great characters ( not tick box as with most tv nowadays ) all beautifully created and set in a lovely slow paced joy!
bloody brilliant show loved every part of it, you might guess I am a detectorist, yes I am. this series is so well up my street, I was so sad to hear the loss of one of our national treasures Diana Rigg, such an amazing Lady. Racheal Sterling is so much like her mum. thank you Paul for sharing your amazing skills with us, and please make another series.
I haven't watched the special yet. We decided to start again right from the beginning of series onw and work through (not for the first time) Can't wait, but also don't want to see it too soon either. For me it's a pause of the real world. I wish we knew we were in the good old days when we were living them. This brings it all to mind. Thank you Mackenzie
I've only just got around to watching this series on netflix, absolutely the best thing I've seen in years
Brilliant and inspired work by McKenzie Crook and Toby Jones....These stories create such an atmosphere of innocence and of 'presentness'....a childlike quality that is so relaxing and humorous...thoroughly enjoyable and as someone else commented 'wholesome'! I hope the inspiration continues to flow so that we can have more of these delightful 'gems'.
I am actually addicted to this series.
Brilliant!!
Well done guys!
The art of not doing a lot but magnificently making a great show, fantastic acting, writing & directorship! Brilliant all round !
Wonderful show. Big part of it appeal is the countryside. I’d happily watch a hour of them just detecting in a nice field.
This show is hands down the best TV series I’ve ever seen-as an American, it makes me want to come visit your wonderful land and meet your genuine and warm people.
I love this show. It is so tender and human and personal. “Consolation” is an apt descriptor indeed. Thank you to all who created this lovely treasure. 🇨🇦
Another series would be very difficult to write but I hope they manage a few more specials before giving it up. So much talent, such great actors👍
One of the best series I’ve seen in years.
A thoroughly feel good, quintessentially English tranquil existence.
Wholesome, endearing and simply warmed our hearts .
Perfect believable characters - Thankyou Mackenzie… you helped us find a true piece of TV gold….
‘ can I do the gold dance now’ 🤔😬
I fully agree with all the comments here, but please don’t forget the splendid work Mackenzie Crook did on the remake of Worzel Gummidge. That programme had the same calmness as the Detectorists, plus the beautiful shots of the countryside. Excellent work.
I am a big fan from the States! Toby and MacKenzie are great. I love the show a lot. It’s lovely and captures the interest.
Detectorists is one of those programmes you watch for a while and look up at the clock and 40 minutes have passed.
I absolutely love Detectorists and am always recommending it. I agree with Toby, there was some consolation watching it through lockdown. In fact, it got me through lockdown. It is understated comedy genius and the characters are all wonderful. Andy and Lance's friendship is heartwarming. I was laughing and crying whilst watching the Christmas special story unfold. Brilliant. I'm just sorry they were not given the interview that they and the show deserve here. With interviewers who clearly hadn't watched the show, interrupting and making it about themselves. They try and come across as laid back when really they come across as uninterested and as though they are doing their guests a favour. Eurgh.
It’s never dull, it’s charming, warm
I just love this program it’s my go to on catch up 👌so relaxing and easy going as well as beautiful countryside McKenzie Crook is such a clever genius 👏 I loved he’s wonderful adaptation of Worzel Gummidge a few years back the grandkids loved it there’s a nice environment massage in both shows hope we have more from him 👌
It needs to come back!! It helped my wife and I to escape the harsh realities of life!
I loved the fact that Andy’s casual jobs always had a collecting/detecting aspect to them
Mackenzie, please, please, please do at least one more series where you return to the field where you missed the Saxon boat burial. I always thought it should be the final one! Thanks in advance.
We love Detectorists, really hope there is another series!
Best thing I've ever seen !
I hope they make more. Those two actors are funny and down to earth and it's a combination of the countryside and history and pubs and comfortable environment that makes it work.
Wish they did more seasons ,I still watch it from time to time
I absolutely loved it. Totally got sucked and and the reason it's so nice to watch is that there's very little background noise to distract you from the acting. Pure bliss. Like lying in a hot bath in silence.
Would love a series 4, I think there's more stories to tell. An all time classic, up there with the best.
Just found the series, and binge watched the 3 series, absolutely love it , more please
The best Comedy Drama, on par with The Office which Crook was also in. Magical.
An absolute joy. Every character is perfectly cast and Mackenzie is a great director and writer.
Love the programme I have actually been out and bought a metal dector. Can't wait to see the next series
As a fellow detectorist I know what its like when you want to show off your finds , he couldn't get that piece of roman gold out of his pocket quick enough 😂
One of the very few excellent shows on the BBC. Hope they make another season.
What rot you speak! Loads of really entertaining informative classy stuff on the bbc. So much better than crappy vulgar Netflix and Amazon.
@@nancyblackett8777 its just a pity that everything they produce needs to have a black disabled lesbian in an insignificant role to tick the boxes.
A pure gem of a show,, and this boxing day one is wonderful,, amazing ending.
"The Detectorists" and "After Life", are two of the most well written, and well observed series, for a very long time. Different from each other, but none the less amazing....
