Only just discovered this joy of a programme. Dh and I are addicted. We wurled through season 1 and are half way through season 2. Snug warm English charm is how I might describe it. Anyone else liked It?

It's so.....gentle. We've just watched the first series and looking forward to the second. Loved it.

Its such a hidden gem!
Love the theme tune too, and random fact- its sung by Jerome flynn’s brother

Series 1 & 2 are on Netflix.

MaidenMotherCrone · 17/01/2018 17:45

I love it so much I’ve just bought a metal detector Grin

lapetitesiren · 17/01/2018 17:51

It's just lovely. They should develop it so it could replace Eastenders. I love all the characters and the atmosphere.

JamieFraserskneewarmer · 17/01/2018 18:23

Absolutely love the episode where Lance is explaining about his girlfriend coming over and sawing his bed in half and the question that Andy asks in response to that bit of news... Brilliantly observed comedy

BarbaraOcumbungles · 17/01/2018 18:24

I discovered this recently too and binged watched it all in a couple of weeks. It’s is absolutely perfect isn’t it. I adored it ❤️❤️

Childrenofthestones · 18/01/2018 10:12

Simon and Garfunkel.Grin
Brilliant observational comedy.

MirandaWest · 18/01/2018 10:16

Didn't realise series 1 and 2 were on Netflix - DH and I only discovered it during series 3 and loved it

JackieReacher · 18/01/2018 10:20

Utterly delightful slow and subtle tv!

BoreOfWhabylon · 18/01/2018 10:24

It's just perfect. Beautifully observed, beautifully acted, beautifully filmed, beautiful music.

Little gems of scenes everywhere.

Make sure to watch the Christmas Special between S1 and S2 as well

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 18/01/2018 10:31

I absolutely love it.

It's not something I would ever have imagined I'd say after seeing the office, but Mackenzie Crook is adorably attractive in it as well.

ohhereweareagain · 18/01/2018 15:59

we think it's superb, as others have said ie the characters, music, quotes. the conversations lance & andy have whilst out in the fields are pure joy. i can't remember when i have watched a tv sitcom & loved literally all the characters. i don't watch tv often but as so glad dh recommended this. we have been binge watching & will be seriously gutted when we have finished. will be starting season 3 later this evening Smile. I also think mackenzie is pretty cute in a worn way Grin

A Hedgehog is in an episode somewhere and she is currently spending the winter in my shed!

Her name is Buttercup and as she’s blind, she can’t be released into the wild, so she lives in the nature garden at the local hog rescue that I help. She spent a day filming with the BBC last summer and seemed to really enjoy new smells and sounds. She’s got quite tame since she’s been in rescue, (something we actively avoid with hogs that can be released) and is happily bedded down in a big pen with a hay nest and a heat pad. We don’t want her to hibernate as she’s an older hog.

I’ve just started S1 on Netflix - and I agree, it’s great.

I also think mackenzie is pretty cute in a worn way - Yes I'm feeling the Mackenzie Crook love too Wink

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/01/2018 15:41

Oh Lotta Buttercup is such a lovely hedgehog!

IndominusRex · 19/01/2018 17:11

We love it too. We moved to north Essex and saw 2 detectorists out in the field our first weekend here, I got very excited.

BikeRunSki · 19/01/2018 17:16

DH and o only discovered it a couple of weeks ago, anf are now sadly half way through Series 3. It is perfect in every way ! I have also downloaded the music.Smile

FuckyNellYaBastad · 19/01/2018 17:17

Loved it - watched it from the beginning

BikeRunSki · 19/01/2018 17:18

I tried to have this conversation with my DBro. He said he’d had to stop watching as it was too close to the bone for him! He is absolutely right, we are a family of geeks!
