Detectorists (BBC4)

[Art Vandelay]

Blitzed them all. Loved it, quintessentially British. Looking forward to the third season.

Did you start it @Art Vandelay

Cheeky!

Theme tune is great, I like Flynn. I think he's brothers with your man out of GOT, Jerome Flynn.

 

[Bollotti]

I especially like the theme song. Johnny Flynn. I think he appeared in it once in a bit part.

I liked the bit when asked the name of their former band, Fanny Magnet........

anyone for lemonade

Half brother. Not that I have made a study of the younger Flynn or anything. But I have seen him on the stage - rather good and am addicted to all of his albums. Great talent. I was rather irritated his recent tour didn't come further North.

Class tv is the detectorists. Will watch it tonight.

I think it is genius, why it hasn't got a much higher profile is beyond me

Don't think it helps that the bbc stuck it on bbc 4 rather than 1 or 2 and don't advertise it. I stumbled across it on netflix and watch both series back to back and thought it was excellent. I didn't even know it was coming back on until I saw this thread.

I absolutely loved the first series and I wondered how they could ever eclipse it... they couldn't.

I'll watch series 3 all the same though as series 2 was still better than most of the garbage that's on tv.

 

[Ludwig]

Funny series, but I bet real detectorists don’t see the funny side

 

[Nig]

Really like this series. A proper written gem amongst all the shite reality dross and crap soaps.

 

[Big Duke Six]

Gerrin. Love it.

 

[Lammi]

Looking forward to this so much
First 2 series were proper TV gems

 

[humbug]

didn't even know there was another series. the first 2 were excellent.
i love shows like these, proper gentle british comedies.

anyone else thinks lance and johnny williams look the same?

Emma Peel(Diana Rigg) plays the part of Andy's mother-in-law.

Andy's "wife" in the programme is Diana Riggs daughter Rachel Stirling who in real life is married to Guy Garvey(Elbow).












And finally......Mackenzie Crook was born in Maidstone

I especially like the theme song. Johnny Flynn. I think he appeared in it once in a bit part.

Very melancholic and sad but also an uplifting tune in equal measure- lovely guitar playing

 

[Arkle]

Well, that was as good as ever with added Unthanks...

 

[jedi_toaster]

Absolute brilliance. Was worried they might fuck it up, but it’s just more of the same, which is just what I wanted!

 

[Linus]

Love it.
It won two Baftas, look where they ended up. Genius.

He is pretty good in scrotal recall (or lovesick as the Americans renamed it) not a bad show IMO but seem to fly under the radar again

 

[Sidewinder2]

Love it me.

Subtle gentle brilliant stuff

That's true. He was unrecognisable in Genius as the younger Einstein recently, but very good.
