All hail the Danebury Metal Detecting Club 🙂
Great stuff.
Currently revising with Season 1 on the iPlayer.

It was a nice bit in that Observer article ,about him handing over his first finds to the farmer.
Can't wait for more [i]Simon and Garfunkel[/i] face offs 🙂
Great program - bought my daughter A detector after watching it. 2 hours on a beach we found one rusty nail.
Thanks for posting up. Loved series 1.
bump 🙂
Just caught up with series one on the Iplayer - some of the best writing I've seen in a long time. Gentle, but with enough zest and humour to make it a joy to watch.
Just as good as the last series. Love it.
Aah, superb. Nostalgia conventions aren't what they used to be, brilliant.
Steve Austin,only £100,000..bargain 🙂

Finished series 1 on the iPlayer last night.
Bishop : They remind me of something.
Sophie : Simon and Garfunkel?
Bishop : No, Arseholes.
Mrhoppy, loved that line !
Was very good last night, but my Mackenzie crook really is very skinny !
Just utterly brilliant.
Simple, effective, very funny, subtle, exceptional writing.
It went too quickly, no sooner had I turned the TV on to watch it than it was over, felt like 10mins 😐
That's how good this programme is.
Diana Rigg too!!
Superb. I was worried that the 2nd series may not be as good as the first, but on last night's show it certainly is.
Excellent I have it on series link. I shall be watching sunday night with a selection of ales from our new Aldi.
I too feared it wouldn't be as good, and it wasn't [i]quite[/i] as good. Given that, I'd happily have watched the next five episodes back to back because when the new characters, situations and story strands get up and running it's going to be wonderful telly. (I recently watched all of series 1 back to back on a long flight and it was the shortest three hours of the entire journey.)
I think it's manoeuvring for a third or fourth series whereas I was expecting a six episode resolution to the Bishop's Farm story. Which is why I'm not a writer / film maker I guess!
Pearce Quigley (Russell) is still stealing every scene he's in, Sheila still as fantastically bonkers, and Varde just as silent. And far and away the best theme tune of any TV series ever. It fits perfectly, and gives me goosebumps.
Can't wait for next week.
And BUMP for the "eh, whats all this fuss about?" crowd... 😆
Simon and Garfunkel are back.
So what is the German bloke really up to?
I thought the first one this series was a bit slow, but last nights was as good as any of the last series IMV.
Love it.
PS: Agree re Russell. If you read his lines on paper they'd look crap but he makes the role utterly compeling.
Nothing to do with detectorists (well, tenuous link via simon & garfunkel character), the second series of yonderland is on the sky catchup service.
"In Latin"
genius, proper 😆 out loud moment that one.
But each episode is over in a flash.
They do go so quickly don't they. No sooner you settle into the theme tune than the credits roll up.
Fine writing and exceptional acting.
Drawn in hook line and sinker.
My thoughts exactly!
If the German bloke upsets Sophie I will be very angry with him.
I reckon Lance's daughter might end up running away with the German.
Nice to see Russell and Hugh pull the mayor's chain,happy endings.
I'd never heard of the program until this thread.
Jumped straight in with season 2 and am now up to date. Brilliant stuff.
The episodes really do fly by.
Roll on ep5.
'Have any of you chaps seen a trampoline?'
Pure brilliance!
It would take some heavy chains to stop me going to Africa with that.
'Have any of you chaps seen a trampoline?'Pure brilliance!
The scene with the lemonade was just pure brilliance.
'Have any of you chaps seen a trampoline?'Pure brilliance!
"Potentially." - priceless.
Margarine
Wow - this looks even better on a big HD telly! Was watching on a tablet before - doesn't really showcase the lovely filming.
Why can't I find season one on iplayer?
It seems to not be on I player, but I found it on daily motion. The episodes are ordered wrong, which is a bit confusing...
ITunes, £9.99 series 1
It's a delightful show. Long may it continue.
Watched episode 5 last night. The Lemonade scene was proper laugh out loud funny.
'The reason i can't understand anything that comes out of your mouths is because you are as thick as 2 short plonks'
'planks'
'your welcome'
I'm giggling just typing it
Restless night, woke early and thanks to sc-cx watched the whole of series 1 back-to-back on Daily Motion
Sublime
There was a great article in some country life esq magazine with Mackenzie Crook about this, he explained he wanted it to be as much about the scenery as it was about the characters.
To be fair, he's got it nailed, on all counts.
