Post by Meanqueen »

I see that The Detectorists is back on again. A funny sit com with fine actors. Worth a look. Anyone else watching?

Hi. It's on Thursday nights on BBC. It's a slow paced comedy drama about two metal detectorist pals. Andy is unemployed and married to a high flying business woman who is on maternity leave. He is looking for a job but can't find one, and might have to become a househusband looking after the baby. Lance is single, lives alone in a flat, plays the guitar, was hoping that he could win his ex wife back but she has gone off with another bloke.

They go to their metal detecting club meetings, which have only a handful of people attending, a funny motley crew. They are hoping for the big find which will one day make them rich. It's all very laid back, not much happens, but the acting is very good.

Just watched the last episode (6) of this series, it finished happily ever after. A nice gentle comedy with a touch of drama. I hope it comes back again. Now need something to replace it to watch.

Not quite finished. There is a one off Christmas show, now on catchup. Even though the treasure was found there is a twist to the story. A very entertaining half hour, I hope it comes back with more in the future.
