Watching Detectorists is like putting on your favourite pair of shoes, or clothing. It just feels right. An absolute gem of a series.
and i think the weather helps.
Couldn't agree more
Love it! It’s so hard to have a favourite character but Russel ‘I feel like I’ve been groomed’ on finding out Hugh’s age, kind of steals it for me.
It’s up there with REV. Underrated brilliant gems of comedy, often overlooked by the majority.
You want to move into it and live there.
My husband and I have just finished binge watching the whole lot and I totally agree. I didn't want it to end.
Watched it from the first series, my brother in law is a detectorist, and he and his mates absolutely love the series, they reckon it's so spot on, it's a thing of beauty 👍🍻😍
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant! This show made me wish I was an actor, just so that I could have spent some time with this cast and crew.
It’s a wonderful show. It is very English, and human. I really enjoy it a lot.
Can't believe there is a Christmas Special boxing day!
Yes, can't wait. There aren't many series I have watched more than once. When I heard about the Boxing day special I watched all 3 series again (3rd time through). The gentle humour and characters warms my heart
@@marting1547 I've just finished season 3 again too! 🙂 if you haven't watch the film Nativity, just as warming.
Loved this set of interviews especially the very last couple of minutes when those really small finds are produced from the pocket of Mackenzie himself and the feelings of genuine excitement shown by him are just so warming.
Absolutely loved the series,wish it was on every week.
Mackenzie.... You are bursting with talent i look forward to your futute work.
Very few times in a lifetime there comes a show that has the combination of perfect cast, perfect writing and perfect performing. Lucky to have found this absolute gem.
The Wire is the greatest TV show ever made. But The Detectorists is too.
Pleased to say I've watched this since the very first episode. A beautiful, gentle comedy which is too subtle for some but absolutely unmissable for others
Everyone was cast spot on! One of the best TV series that's ever been on.
It's certainly up there.
This, Royle Family and Gavin and Stacey are my favourite British comedies 😊
Watching series 1 again, what struck me was the quality of the acting: uniformly top class.
Quickest half hour on tv
In a world so full of extremes, instant gratification and polarising viewpoints; this series is an amazing tonic and a reminder of how amazing community, simplicity and the UK can be. Would love more series and to be able to immerse myself in this world once more
One of the best tv shows, ever.
Such an original
Idea and so well done.
You fall in love with everyone.
Ps bring back the mad farmer,,love that chap,,,wheres those dogs,,🤣🤣🤣
My husband watches TV while sit in another room and read or watch UA-cam. One night I heard the opening song from the Detectorists coming from the TV. It drew me into the living room like a moth to flame. I saw the beautiful scenes of wildflowers in fields- insects flitting among the blossoms to Jonny Flynn's haunting lyrics and that was all it took to get me hooked. But then I watched the quirky characters and stories unfold and I knew there was genuine love going into this program. I fell in love with every character - including Simon and Garfunkel - lol!
I think the best scene I've ever seen anywhere was when Lance was on the phone leaving a message for his newly found daughter. Him saying goodbye in that sweet, gentle way 😢. Pure gold - the rarest of finds!
Hello from Kentucky!
I've loved this show since season 1!
We just finished the Christmas special last night. The concept and writing are pure genius and the scenery is beautiful. I hope we get a season 4 soon!
I live not far from where it is filmed, a lovely programme filmed in lovely Suffolk 🇬🇧 .
I wish it could go on and on and on forever...
Love love love. The detectorists brings me peace and utter joy and happiness❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Outstanding is not a strong enough word for this superbly written series... Mckenzie Crook... Superb writing & acting is sublime execution of a time gone by... Seemingly... If only I could have done the music... Beautiful...
So quaintly English, so dryly funny, such touching characters. Love it 😍
Righy...real punny.
Absolutely love this show......brilliantly written , heart warming and easy to watch.....please make more series....we miss it 😄😄👍👍👍
Wow. Rachel looks like her mum in her Emma peel days. R.i.p Dianna..aka Teresa Bond
The world was made slightly better. Thank you MC and cast n crew.
As they say, a good film/series is when you care about the character, but on this you care about the whole cast, fabulous
*Lance:* _Bishop has been released without charge. The bones they found were dog's bones, and Bishop's invisible dogs have disappeared._
*Becky:* _Sorry? His invisible dogs have disappeared?_
*Lance:* _Yep. Vanished._
*Becky:* _Well, that is going to make them doubly hard to find._ (Lance and Andy both nod sagely...)
Love everything about the show. Great writing, acting and directing. It's a calm, funny show. Not all bells and whistles.
when Toby says he loves the shows Humanity, that is exactly it. this series Humanity was absolutely beautiful. and it was so relaced and not over the top, it was a very welcomed change. just made all the better because i can absolutely relate to that desire to discover history and your roots, to uncover the ancestry of your people. it is so moving.
It's rare for me to get into TV series, but this one! This one was so well-done. Still waiting for the "Special" and begging for another season. Cheers!
The Xmas special is on Boxing Day, I think it's an hour long special on BBC Two.
It was rather wonderful to see it again. Lovely show.
I was amazed that I got into the 3 series the first time around but they were relentlessly funny and a colleague at work and I both admitted Detectorists was our guilty pleasure. I've just watched all three series again last week and it's even funnier second time around!
It will never be a guilty pleasure. Why would you feel guilty for liking one of the very best shows the BBC has ever made.
I only discovered this recently and binge watched it over the Christmas period, including the Christmas special. The characters are so endearing, and the writing is brilliant! I really hope they make another series. This surely is destined to become a 'classic', to be repeated for many years to come. 👏👏
What's not to like about this beautiful British comedy. The casting is spot on, I can't imagine anyone else in the roles of Lance and Andy. It's beautifully written and acted and centre's on a subject which is largely unknown about by the majority of people. The location is sublime and shows of England at it's best.
I want to live in Danebury and join the DMDC and go to the pub and be friends with them all such is the idyllic lifestyle the programme portrays. Please Mackenzie if by chance you ever read this you absolutely have to write a 4th series.
Pretty please. ❤️
Tony was outstanding in the pub quiz scene, such a great character
One of my all time favourites such a gentle comedy. Love it! The casting is inspired
Its just brilliant - the subtilty of the gags is amazing - BTW, anyone see university challenge last week?
Just discovered this show and Binged the whole series and the movie in 2 days. I bought a detector years ago and its in a closet,, now im joining a club and going to give it a go, what a delightful series !!
When I first saw this show I stopped watching after a few minutes as I didn’t get it
I’m so so glad I revisited it recently I absolutely adore this show and I’m looking forward to the Xmas special in 22
Toby Jones summed it up with one word , Exceptional.
The Detectorists is one of those programmes I'd put on as background viewing with no expectations of being into it, but after 1 episode I was completely hooked. It's like getting into a nice warm bath, it's so funny, light, relaxing and wholesome, and yet manages to be engaging and compelling through its characters without having to be over-dramatic. It's almost its own genre - wholesome, easy-watching, light-comedy-drama. I wish there were more shows like this.
There are .. they are just hard to track down!
Bindging on this having only just discovered it... I'm absolutely in love with it... I shall enjoy this as it looks v interesting..... More series to come surely it's absolute pleasure way better than anything on TV by a country mile even more yes more than that! it's a pure gem ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for posting these behind the scenes videos. They are a fascinating insight into my all time favourite comedy series!
Great show, beautiful cast and beautifully written and performed by all parties, I can't help but wonder what the sales percentage of metal detectors has risen by since this show 😊
Is it just me or is Mackenzie Crook the nicest bloke in the world?
Just recently been made aware of this show, loving every episode so far. It's a small show that means a lot.
I don't know if I read this or it came from my own bonce "metal detecting is the nearest thing to time travel" excellent show.
Lance said it at the end of season 3 episode 6. Great show, my all time favourite.
I cannot but love these people and the show.
My youngest son recommended this, I don’t think I’d have watched otherwise; we really loved it and ended up binge watching.
Hard to believe that was first shown in 2014 but I remember the first 10 minutes of first episode I knew I would be in a pretty select niche club by loving it. Instantly (and not because of Mackenzie crook) it kind of threw up the 'office' vibe with its long silent panning but with scenic detail. It's Just different from everything else but I've never heard anyone speak about it so I'm glad it's getting due recognition.
Binged the whole 3 seasons in a day after seeing it on Netflix, amazing nothing quite like it pure feels ❤
It’s great for East Anglia to get the admiration and recognition it deserves!
Proud to say I'm a 'detectorist-ist'
Please, please, can there be another series xx Just love the beauty of the writing and the screenplay, it's just lovely...
A truly lovely series & thoroughly engrossing. I only recently heard about 'Detectorists' a few weeks ago (I quit watching tv 15+ years ago). At first I was honestly shocked by the swearing as I was thinking of something similar to the Darling Buds Of May (original 1990's series) - I guess it just shows how times have changed (I'm very old fashioned!). It reminds me of those fishing clips on here (Paul Whitehouse & Bob Mortimer) a gentle way of life & pondering in lovely, scenic countryside! I'm sure there will be a new series as Mackenzie is a very talented & creative individual. I've not seen the Christmas special yet but, an idea for series 5: the club all share in the unexpected windfall (or 'tree-fall'!) of those gold coins (after being declared first of course). The land then becomes a historical interest site (solar wind farm banned) which makes headlines across the UK... catching the attention of a certain Tony Robinson (their hero) - who has a 'cunning plan' ... 😀
Brilliant portrayal of the detecting community. I used to detect around Framlingham way back in the 80's, working as a PE instructor at a Borstal nearby where the great Irish playwright Brendan Behan used to recite his poems and plays on the stage which we used for weight training! Wonderful peaceful scenery and off the beaten track, with the castle there overlooking everyone and everything. We detector(ists) are SO lucky to have this series all about our escapes into the fields, leaving our worries on the edge of the field and maybe less of them when we return a few hours later. Liam
Wow!!!!!!...Loved every second of this.
loved this video, loved the series, well done all involved, especially Mackenzie.
I think all men of a certain age need a shed, friends and a hobby.
This show for me gives me a chance to relax, laugh and cry.
Whats not to like?
Best tv comedy since Fools and Horses.
I met Mackenzie Crook as an extra on the set of One Chance. He is truly a lovely person and very likeable.
An exceptional and timeless series, that will continue to charm generations.
Don’t loose this fantastic cast, one more series please!
Love the show, it has that perfect combination of characters that are going through trials and tribulations but at the same time have a sense of optimism and hope
Love detectorists. Adam Tandy says there hasn't been much stuff filmed in the east of England, but I seem to remember a comedy series about these old blokes in the Home Guard that was shot around Thetford 😄
And Lovejoy
@@Dabberontour Spot on. Another great series.
I don’t like much. But I do love this. Thanks.
All I can say is heart warming brilliant and just class,love it.
Loved the magpies in this - well done Mackenzie Crook ❤
It’s such a nice pace and is much needed in this crazy world
Hartwarming show and you fall in love with the characters
I cried. Masterpiece. Thank you sire
I hope there's more of Sophie in the works!
spot on the best series ever ....
An absolutely beautiful gem of a brittish sit com - i've not long block watched it - it made me feel really good and happy -
A beautifully crafted gentle float downstream. A charming antidote to all the shouting! (EVERYTHING else).
Brilliant 👍🏆🇬🇧
Thanks so much Mackenzie This is Total Theropy for the Midddle Age Guy I am Now a Detectorist because of this Gripping Show of Pure Fun Thanks for this show as it has helped me relax and enjoy life so much more.
A beautiful cast and script, together with the gorgeous Suffolk countryside...a real real gem. I can't stop finding out about it. Affects me like no other programe except Gone Fishing. Gorgeous. Xxxx
Just wonderful from start go finish. A true work of art. More please
My Dad and Uncle were Detectorists. I have very fond memories of holidays in my youth, with both men meandering through woods and beauty spots whilst we played and discovered near them. Few interesting finds. And quite a few interesting tales regards their duo missions, one including a witches coven in a private woods! I relished watching this. We need more.
I don’t know why but I seem to watch the whole lot over Christmas every year. Love it.
God I miss this show
I really loved Detectorists - such a gentle, genuine, enthralling sitcom. I've seen every episode they made...wish they would make more!!!
How thoroughly nice Toby Jones is. Seeing him on "Murder on the Orient Express" with David Suchet demonstrates just how horrendous a good actor can turn himself into the part of a monster.
He was a villain in one of Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes series. Thoroughly unpleasant!
Mackenzie!! third time watching the detectorists, brilliant, funny, relevant and exact. Thank You
What a fantastic series - I feel I know the characters personally at this stage 😂 and the locations are just gorgeous. So many brilliant actors, it just works. Well done Mackensie.
Loved episode 1 of series 3 when it goes back in time. Brilliant.
As if the series was not enough humour, I watched this programme with a constant smile on my face, and with the occasional chuckle.
I live 5 minutes from Orford, I've only just learned that one of my favourite series was filmed around here!
A great place to live. I've cycled thru there a few years ago.....
FYI If for some reason you have not seen the series yet MAJOR SPOILER at 12:00
Brilliant gentle series
Something make me wish I'd have been born 40 years earlier so I would have escaped the madness of these days.....The Detectorists make me thankful I was not and glad I was around to see this masterpiece.
I was born 1967, can even remember paraffin lamps in the '73 oil crisis.
Thanks for uploading. What a joy to peek behind the scenes.
Wonderful programme.
I love this series!
I was so happy this time last year when I heard that it might come back for a Xmas special episode!
And a bunch of us watched it on Boxing Day, also very glad he is a Kent boy from Dartford.
I have met him once, and also from that part of Kent right between Dartford/Bexleyheath 😃
Happy Belated New Year everyone 🍾🎆
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Thanks for this.
Thank you. As positive as the actual series !
Besides being a good director, actor and writer, McKenzie is also a good stand up comedian. If you haven't seen Britannia, he is utterly mesmerising as a Druid during the Roman occupation. A very talented guy indeed.
Adam and Lucy could easily be a couple. You can just see the chemistry.
Toby Jones is such a well-spoken person. His description of detectorists was just perfect.
Absolutely love this show,,I was late getting into it,,but can't get enough,,calming gentle and funny😊😊🇬🇧🇬🇧
Greatest comedic television show ever.
Love this was filmed in our Suffolk
Please say all the cast including Simon and Garfunkel are in it
Afraid not
@@reee5738 is that for defo
@@Tractor-boy1 they were! Soo pleased to see them again...being bad.
No as they were in it
Such a wonderful series, love it .❤
A beautiful series set in a beautiful part of England
