  • Best. Series. Ever.
    I do not own this clip, no copyright infringement intended, but I felt the need to spread this masterpiece. Hopefully more of you will get hooked on this brilliant TV series. Buy series 1 & 2 on amazon.co.uk.
    Did you hear about old Bob Cromer?
    - What about him?
    Exhumed, mate.
    -What?
    Grave robbed.
    -By who?!
    Nobody knows. Night hawks.
    Best pay off in the history of television.

      thats what i think people that would just say this show is boring dont understand. these guys are not out trying to fins treasure because they want to be rich, these guys are trying to find their heritage their legacy. his joy here isnt because he found some gold it is because he found something lost and important, he feels like he is part of that history now. he found where he came from in a sense, it is something that so many people search for. their roots. or at least thats how i took it, as an American that has been separated from my ancestry.

      Where I live I'm surrounded by Roman silver Denari. I found two as a child in the 70s. My friend found 11.Many more have been found over the years but all are scattered. Hardly any bronze. There must be a motherload here but probable under woodland now. What a lovely series this is. I hope somebody one day might find the treasure me and my friend came so close to. But the real treasure is finding anything from the past. As a teenage boy especially.

    I love so many details about this scene. The acting by Toby Jones (Lance) where he expresses wonder, incredulity, tears of joy, and ecstasy, all in a few seconds. When the music starts. How Sophie backs away, all smiles, because this was Lance's finding, Andy and her was discouraging him. Then Lance dancing. Sophie jumping up and down. (She doesn't know you're supposed to dance when you find gold..it was Andy and Lance's agreement) . Then Andy puts down his detector, hugs Lance and starts to dance, Sophie joins in, they all do that goofy dance...
    All the while the camera moves away, showing you that, while this is the greatest moment for these three, this is perhaps just ONE of the several nuggets of history that may be buried in a great land. Waiting to be found, by other Detectorists.
    I knew Mackenzie Crook (Andy) as that weird but funny Gareth guy from UK version of The Office. He has written and directed a masterpiece here.

    My TV diet is full of dark murder mysteries or police procedurals. I wish there were more gems like this show. It is light, but substantial. It is about supposedly mundane existences, but there is more truth about humanity in this show than 99.9% of other shows. It is brilliantly funny and gentle. It is a wonderful show.

    This is TV at its best, brilliant script, directing and acting. Some people think its just about anorak metal detectorists and detecting... but you have to dig a little deeper to extract the poignant social interaction here. The BBC may not know it... but they have a real gem in Mackensie Crook.. and the casting of Toby Jones as Lance was a master stroke. I just hope he is available for a third series if they ever do one.

      I did really enjoy this show but I can't help but think a different actor should've played Andy. Mackenzie Crook did a great job of directing and writing but I was never convinced with him in the role. He was fantastic in The Office, at playing a character like Gareth, but he's not a great actor honestly. He always seems like he's acting to me, making it difficult to suspend my disbelief. Even that puff of the cheeks in this scene felt forced/fake.

    McKenzie captured this phenomena perfectly ! As many Detectorists , including myself , have experienced . You just get a feeling . You want to ignore it but that little voice in the back of your head niggles you . I've no doubt many Detectorists have ignored it ...... and possibly missed out big time ! In my case I was heading for a big oak on the edge of a field . Stopped for some reason and just had a look around . But when I started off , something told me to now head for another tree about 45degrees to my right . And I did . 6 paces in , a signal . 1822 George llll gold sovereign !!!!!! Like it was minted yesterday.
    Had I carried on my original course I'd have missed it by inches .

You get a bad feeling about something or someone, don’t do whatever it is. Don’t get in that car, don’t go in that room, don’t make that call. Stop, back off, run away, rethink.
    You get a good feeling, go for it…and don’t let anyone, even your best mates, mock you into not trying.

    Bought the DVD here in Australia after seeing every episode in the series and have watched them over and over so we almost know them word for word but we still crack up at the jokes. So wonderfully written and acted. *Every* character is unique and unforgettable. Mackenzie Crook is a brilliant writer and director and Toby Crook is priceless. Would love to see another series.

    I want to wake up early, dress in the dark, quietly close my front door and walk out in a gentle Danebury spring morning. Past the White Horse, down the old lane and out into the hay-scented fields to find Lance and Andy already there.... Damn....

    Probably the best British programme in years. A combination of nice balanced characters (not over emotional or mardi or woke) with vibes of long summer evenings outdoors and in pubs at the end of a summers day. A bit of ridiculous ( Dirt sharks etc) and a bit of relationship jealously (Sophie - but without it going all Eastenders) . Funny in a understated way (trampoline and the farmer)

    Love this show. Funny, warm and subtly clever. A cracking cast of well drawn characters with a beautiful supporting cameo by the English countryside. The theme song (by Johnny Flynn) is lovely too. Season one on Netflix at the moment.

    I go back to this perfect series every time I need to feel like I’m losing myself in this life , it never dulls or loses it’s poignant power it’s perfect it’s subtle and funny and true it’s friendships not made on how people look or what they have. . It’s about people who don’t care what anyone thinks of them or what they love to do , they just love being there , I cry at the theme song I cry at Lance being used by his ex but still trying to help , I cry at Mackenzie his lovely gf who just loves him for him , I love this too much a middle ahead man who sits on his own watches and cries at the perfection of every single episode , thanks to Mackenzie crook who may sort of realize what he made nut no way would know just how deeply this affects people , normal flawed people who Need to see good people win , I get angry when I tell people to watch it and they don’t , If you miss this you really really don’t know what your missing , Love reading people’s comments here too , I feel belonging with you all thanks to two men and their metal detectors

    Dear producer, director and actor, please shoot a sequel to this fantastically beautiful and funny series "Detectorists"! It is the best series on television that I have ever seen, even if it was only shown on Arte with translated subtitles for German television and can be seen in the media library there until October. Perhaps it would also be dubbed linguistically by a German, I think it would be able to achieve a good success with us in Germany. Although I love the original English language version very much, because the voices and the actors are just wonderful. In all honesty, "Detectorists" is really great, please please shoot more of it, the audience will thank you! Especially now in the gloomy Corana times ,detectorits is simply a bright light in the television sky, and probably brings many people to start with this wonderful hobby. I've been looking for my detector myself since 2012, it helps me to understand nature better every day and has helped me a lot in coping with the grief of my wife who passed away too early. Please let this series live again, people will thank you.

    Toby Jones' acting in this scene is easily the best that television has ever given us. He's unbelievably talented throughout the entire show as well. Detectorists is simply the greatest T.V. show of all time. None of this "one of the greatest" bullshit people always say these days.
