Detectorists

[dom]

I enjoyed it.
Always was going to be hard coming back after 5 years.

 

[Jasper]

me mrs said that, changed his character.

He felt much more like the Lance from the pilot, who Mackenzie Crook said he wasn’t who Lance was supposed to be.

Ghosts for me.

Ghost’s Christmas special was great.

 

[BigPete]

Going to give it a watch after dinner

I really enjoyed it.

 

[Jasper]

I’ll probably force myself to enjoy it, because everything MC has done since he starred in the original run of Jerusalem and got his bug for the English landscape has been fantastic, and I want this to be good.

As I get older, I realise that perfect things are rare, and unless someone is absolutely certain, should be left to heal in their glory.

Really disappointed. Not surprised.

Bask. Not heal.

Plus a couple of characters just didn’t seem entirely right, Lance for one.

There was a very good reason for that, it was very much deliberate.

Again, I think maybe people are missing something in the story line

I did say to the wife is it because of what had happened after the end of Series 3. But even if that explained the change in his character, then something seemed off about his mannerisms.

Watched it last night, when you search for Detectorists on the iplayer it's the first thing highlighted, you have the option of the previous series below but the special should be the one already highlighted.

I really enjoyed it, will be watching it a few times more.

 

[timharding]

I reckon I should start a series.

It was listed as a new episode in the last series for me.

Anyone got themselves a DMDC fleece ?

 

[PTR]

Ok, questions

Why on earth were they trying to scare us into thinking his wife and kids died in a house fire? Is that really the type of show this is?

Why was Lance an absolute prick for first half? Just to redeem himself later? That's not an excuse

Why make his wife out to be a failure? Didn't get the job, reacted poorly etc. Again, just to have a redemption moment at the end? No.

Did a show about being gentle and fun really need to go after the Holy Grail ffs?

 

[Heritage hampers]

Why didn't lance tell Andy about the gold?

Lance was being turned by his possession, like Gollum.

The wife had had her mother die, her house burn down, and her career was messing up, ruling out on a job that Andy was hoping would help pay for stuff as he continued to just drift about being looked after by her. No wonder she thought ‘sod it’.

Thought the grail was a nice twist.

These one-offs are prone to fail, but I thought that one was canny. Not as good as the series, but perfectly fine.

[The Butcher]
