Detectorists

[SunshineDays2019]

This has got to be one of the best TV programmes I have ever seen. How on earth did I miss it the first time round? if you want to watch the most gorgeous light-hearted gentle comedy, go on the BBC iPlayer where you will find all 3 Series Sheila's lemonade!

Seems that my laptop is very much alive,tho...

Watched it all first time, but time to revisit, I think!

One of the most delightful series ever.

She only plays a minor character, but I always love Sophie Thompson in anything - IMO in the acting dept. she knocks spots off her sister Emma.

Love what we do in the shadows. So funny. Ghosts is brilliant and as an archaeologist I love detectorists (of course).

I also love witless on bbc3.

Yes sophie thompson is amazing. I think definitely the better actress.

Loved it. The title song is a beautiful bonus.

It’s amazing. If any of you have Spotify or similar then check out Johnny Flynn’s other music. He’s an incredible musician and writes loads of beautiful songs.

It is one of my all time favourite shows!

mog thanks for the Ghosts recommendation
As well as the tv programmes already mentioned,the radio's good too.
Cabin Pressure, anyone?

My very favourite scene

It’s an antidote to the news, that’s for sure. May have to rewatch.

Yes, love Detectorisys and Johnny Flynn's music is brilliant, think DH and I might have to binge watch this week on an evening after work. I would love DC's to get into it!

It is utterly brilliant.

I started a thread a while ago suggesting Mackenzie Crook as next Dr Who show runner, and Toby Jones as the Dr. Clearly no crossover audience (except me) as there were no takers.

Keep replaying in my mind the moment when Lance’s ex says good morning on her way to the bathroom. Astonishing.

I started watching This Country at around the same time. It’s great but I’m never going to love the characters as much as the Detectorists.

I think your Dr Who idea is great, SurpriseSparDay!

DH and I had the theme music at our wedding! Happy memories whenever I hear it

Thank you for reminding me about it and that I should definitely settle down for another watch!

Thank you, Bore!

You’re welcome!

You must be local to me Scruffyoak :-) my mum’s exercise class got hoofed from the church hall for filming, she was most put out.

We love it. We play the theme tune every night as part of dds nighttime routine, whilst getting her ready for bed 😃

The bit where the camera pans out as they walk over the ship sends a shiver down my spine. It's such a gentle, humourous programme, but underpinned by a deep reverence for history.

I love the way the main characters are not treasure hunters, but are seeking a connection with the past.

It reminds me of the feeling I get when standing in those caves in France with then thousand year old drawings of animals. A sense of the passing of time and all those who have gone before us.

Fantastic Thank you... Thats the next few days sorted

Yes, we live in the suffolk coastal area :)

Detectorists is just sublime. Absolutely love it.

Mackenzie Crook was also fabulous as Wurzel Gummidge in the Christmas specials last year, which had a similar feel to them.

We are not far from the castle on the hill :-)

We live near the other castle in the area :-)

We played it at our wedding!
