[Closed] PSA - Detectorists fans

😀

YAY! 😀

Boom!

Fantastic. Thanks for the PSA.

You star I knew nothing about a Christmas special! 🙂

Thanks for the reminder!
RM.

Best PSA for a while! Cheers

So thats last episode of Fargo, luther and detectorists for tonights viewing...awsumz..

Spoilers for Nasher. Luther gets a commendation after bringing Hanzee and kansas city to justice, and Peggy runs off with Lance to grab his gold.

You missed one thepurist - Becky runs off with me and we live happily ever after.

I reckon lance and peggy together could have their own series...

Just watched s2 e 4, 5 & 6 again in preparation.

Bump, on now

Ooh thanks, didn't know it was on, BBC kept that under the radar

Awe, Ace.

😀

Well worth waiting for..

I watched it, what is it...

I do hope they make some more.

I do hope they make some more.

I hope so too. I read in the radio times that the BBC want another series but Mackenzie Crook is undecided. Hopefully he doesn't follow the Ricky Gervais formula of just 2 series and then leave the viewers wanting more.

I thought that ending felt fairly final sadly.

It was good but it suits being set in summer and having Becky in it.

I hope he doesn't do any more. A superb programme that has ended well, walking off into the distance on a winters day whilst having mates chats is a fitting end.

Well done Mr Crook.

bikebouy +1. As much as I've loved both series, I'd be happy with the story being left at it's conclusion now.
RM.

I think it was a good ending to it, not sure how hey could resurrect any more stories unless Lance moves over to Botswana.

Agree, the whimsical conversations with Lance work far better in sunshine. (Incidently, the weather in the series is fluke - just happened to be sunny when they filmed.)

I'm hoping for another series, but agree its sort of reached a conclusion.

The good news is for me its all about characters and atmosphere so rewatching old ones is fine because the plot and dialogue aren't the most important thing. (For me.)

A lot of effort went into the 'romantic interest' mechanic to leave it there......

What were the coins he bought with the find money?

I thought 2p coins - a token offering while he donated the 50k to the museum.

I think the coins were gold...why else go to a specialist shop?

His long term investment is buried where he knows he can find it.

The love interest was to hint at some happiness for Lance - both him and Andy end up happy.

Mackenzie Crook will have learned the winning sitcom formula from Ricky Gervais, leave on a high note.

I missed that bit, thanks, so yeah, must be antique gold.

Loved it, and likewise, kinda hope they just leave it there..

(Incidentally, the weather in the series is fluke - just happened to be sunny when they filmed.)

Not completely true..

In a brilliant article Crook explained it [i]should[/i] have been filmed in the crappy weather, as that's when they are out, as the fields have been cut etc, but he wanted the whole thing to be as much about the scenery, and the background as the characters..

Got a link to the article teato?

kinda hope they just leave it there..

I hope it becomes another Last of the Summer Wine 🙂

Can't quite remember if it was discussed [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03bgwvr ]here[/url], but worth a listen either way. 🙂
RM.

I read that as well Teeto.

They've set it up for a jolly in Botswana surely? I hope not.

I can't find an online version of the article, but it was in Novembers' BBC Countryfile magazine..
Our next door neighbour always passes it on to us once he's read it.

Well, that was a Christmas #Win

The coins were gold sovereigns, shirley? Does anyone know where the round-tower church is in series 2? I live near to Fram where lots of it's filmed and don't recognise the church. I was cycling up the hill to the castle whilst they were filming in the church hall (scout hut) during the summer, didn't see any of the cast unfortunately. Btw, the 'Two Brewers' is actually the Castle Inn, and they have used the White Horse for exteriors in S1.

they were 2p coins, surely the point was that he gave something back after taking something, doesn't have to be worth much today, but he was burying in the hope that in 1000 years someone might find it, then it would be deemed treasure

Those are sovereigns. Gold, milled edges and boudicca riding a horse on them. 2p is copper coloured, smooth edged and new ones have part of the shield design on the "tails" side.
