Agreed. Subtle, clever, delightful comedy. Very well played so far.

Great so far.
I'm a bit in love with McKenzie Crook's wife in it.

Filmed in and around Rendlesham/Tunstall. Pub scenes in the Kings Head at Orford, some of our holiday makers from this year had a great time on set for a free meal.

Episode 2 was better than 1 IMHO
Loved the Simon and Garfunkel scenes

Is that his real wife?
I thought he looked utterly uncomfortable with his screen wife. Very unconvincing...
As a programme, it's just a little bit painfully middle of the road I feel.
Not hurting anyone though... ๐Ÿ™‚

Just watched it on iplayer. Thought it was beautifully done! Great script, great acting - couldn't ask for more.

You're my wife now, [s]Dave[/s] Debbie ๐Ÿ˜€

I tried watching the first episode but I was very mleh about it.

Tell you what I have loved has been the new Aussie political drama The Code. Bloody ace! 2x episodes on iPlayer now. Have to wait a week for the next two ๐Ÿ™

Missed the beginning of the Code, so ended up not watching it.

Tonight 9pm Sky Atlantic - "Gomorrah". Now, that's series worth watching. Can't be many left now and i'll be gutted when it stops.

It's very well done, superbly acted and directed, maybe do with a few more laughs. I love the mad farmer.

watched it both episodes of the Detectorists last night... thought it was good. sublime kinda sums it up. you watch it in quiet and it's only after you smile. compelling in an odd way.

and yes, very british comedy... self deprecating.

Just started watching. Very good. The Howard Carter quote/joke must be one of the most esoteric in in a sit com.

Enjoying the series, quietly funny. Thought I recognised 'Becky' and googled her to see she was Diana Rigg's daughter as mentioned above. Ms Rigg was my first tv crush when she was in The Avengers.

Must be just me.

It's like [i]Roger and Val Have Just Got In[/i] that Dawn French did - it's about the situation and the characters not belly laughs.

I think it's really well done.

Is Sophie a traitor?

Did Tony explode?

What is in The Paddock (other than the UXB, that is now an XB)?

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

She is the adopted child of the Simon & Garfunkel duo ๐Ÿ™‚

Did Tony explode?
