    I’m really enjoying it. Reminds me in a way of Early Doors, which I love! Which also went under the radar

    Is Sophie a traitor?

    She is the adopted child of the Simon & Garfunkel duo 🙂

    Did Tony explode?

    The TV guide for Thursday has a few hints spoilers 😉

    The Beeb are making (Detectorists) and buying (the Code) some good stuff just lately. The Detectorists does have the same slow-burning feel as Early Doors, but that is some show to live up to, possibly my favourite show ever! Old Tommy’s new job has me in fits every time [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtWuV5b-iyg[/video]

    That is a wonderful piece of comedy. Still go back to early doors episodes even though i’ve watched them many times. The Detectorists is ok but doesn’t bare comparison

    Indeed a quiet gem. Has me lolling.

    Pearce Quigley is a scene-tealer for me (beardy bespectacled guy in the club).

    Without sounding poncey I saw his Bottom in The Globe’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream last year. Ab-so-lute-ly outstanding. It was a superb production and he was the best thing in it.

    Lame. Turned it off after 10 minutes, not having managed a single laugh.

    Quigley was also brilliant in Rev (another “quiet gem”) enjoyed the detectorists last night, can’t wait to see more of Simon and Garfunkel

    That was good.
    Some nice little touches( Bodybag?,nah ..Tupperware ) 🙂

    I’m certain a proper metal detector “DETECTORIST!” would scan again after taking out a pound coin or ringpull. Even if it spoiled the ending.

    Just watched the final episode, really enjoyed every episode.

    Can’t quite work out why. Very subtle, mundane life in rural England – but well crafted, well performed comedy.

    Looking forward to series two!

    Brilliant! 😀

    Whole thing was great, well done to the BBC.

    can’t wait to see more of Simon and Garfunkel

    See Yonderland, on Sky a couple of months back.

    I loved the conversation about men and their hobbies and collections. Delivered dead-pan by Toby Jones…

    “You give a man a cactus and he’s got a cactus.
    Give him another cactus and he’s got ‘a collection’
    go back 2 years later and he’s had to move to a bigger house to accommodate all his cacti

    A woman would get to 3 cacti and think that that was probably enough”

    😆 so true!

    loved the pattern in the grass in the final shot. Very subtle.

    As I mentioned before I didn’t get this show but I did only stick it out for 2 episodes.

    But Yonderland was great and Early Doors was fanstatic

    Loved it. I think I read that there will be a 2nd series. Hope I’m right.

    I missed that. I’ll have to rewatch it. 😀

    Just caught up, that was the best of the six episodes. Toby Jones is superb, I echo the comments about the cactus collection speach. Just brilliant in every way, can’t wait for series two.

    Loved the crop markings, and the way the theme tune fitted at the end. “I’m waiting for you…”

    Sophie surely became a heartthrob for SF nerds everywhere with her “We must be cautious” response.

    I hope they only do a coupleod series, and then kill it off.. It was fantastic, I loved it, but don’t really see where they can take it?

    Thread ressurection as the first series is currently being repeated so it is on iplayer. The second series and Christmas special will follow.

    It is so frustrating that it has been tucked away at 11pm at night when the bbc should be shouting from the rooftops about this series.

    Thanks for the heads up. Loved the series.

    Agree its hard to see where the plot can go but I don’t care. It’s all about characters and atmosphere.

    Stumbled on the reruns last week whilst watching something that had been recorded. The Mrs mussed it first tine around so need to catch her up.
