The whole thing was flawless. I could have lived in that world with them for another three series. I wanna see Andy's house finished. I hope they do a special or revisit.
Agreed. I'm quietly glad though that they knew the virtue of stopping whilst everybody wanted just a bit more. The writing and cast were brilliant, it would've been a shame to see it milked for every penny long after they'd run out of good ideas. The best things in life are not in infinite supply. They'd not be appreciated if they were.
I think the best gag is the running 'Simon and Garfunkel' each time they appear there plays a couple of bars from an S & G tune, and the references to S & G songs, briliant comedy
Agreed---i wonder if they had to get clearance from S&G's agents, for the clips of music and piss taking ? Us stars can get touchy, BUT, getting a mench on a worldwide hit series, can't be bad.
I like Russel’s ‘I feel like I’ve been groomed’ line. On finding out Hugh’s in his 30’s. Having said that, there are so many. It’s really hard to choose.
My best bit from this was when they were behind the scooter in his car and he turns and says "You strapped in?", like hes gonna floor it and over take but instead after checking they both "strapped in" he checks his mirrors and indicates left and right at about 15mph for 2 minutes before safely over taking in an over taking spot giving plenty of safe room but after they both speak like it was something from a stunt movie lol
The lemon juice, and the flickering glimpses of Sheila's ESP and her tragic past. Heavy burdens lightly carried, things understood between good friends.
Sheila is probably my favourite character, there was such a great scene between her and lance outside the pub where they talk about his daughter leaving and her advice and then silence gave a tiny glimpse into her past and it seemed so sad. Wonderful balance between comedy and tragedy.
Russel describing to Terry the need for the DMDC to get an official club vehicle because it would make the club seem more "professional," all the while scratching his privates. I didn't catch this gross little hysterical detail until my third go-through of the series. Also: "It's not an affectation because I can't actually do it standing up." And, "Why was Lance sitting on a Toadstool. He has piles." (The funny part being that Sophie would somehow know that Lance has piles.) And Lance carring the box marked "Fragile" with the arrow pointing to him. Andy drinking out of the pesticide applicator. The first lemonade scene, where Andy has to open his eye with his fingers. There are just so many.... This it the best thing to come to television, ever.
I stumbled upon this show just by accident on Acorn TV. Just when you think all hope is lost on the small screen then you find a jewel like this. I've watched it 3 times and I see something new every time. Did anybody notice the ritual regarding having a cup of tea? The banter back and forth is always the same. Apparently, if you refuse that means that you are pissed at somebody. I'm also a big fan of Doc Martin. I found this by accident on public TV years ago. Brilliant!
I loved the jokes, but also loved the Easter eggs, or homages. Like the nod to M.R. James' "Oh Whistle and I will Come" with the falcon whistle. Or When Andy rescues the little frog on the verge; he looks just like Catweazel. I truly wish that there were more shows like this. McKenzie Crook has a heart big gold.
The vegetable gag is the best for me. Every time Lance wants to knock off early, he asks the foreman if he can go "when I've finished doing them...." naming a different vegetable every single time.
The best thing ever to emerge from a cathode ray tube......no wait, I'm showing my age here...from an LED....err, from a plasma?? Quite simply the best TV series ever produced IMO, and I don't say that lightly considering some of the classics it was up against.
Regarding hobbies: "A woman could have two or three cacti and she'd say 'yes, that's probably enough cacti for me.'" Lance has obviously never met a knitter or quilter in his life. 🙄😂😜
I thought the funniest scene was the auction. But the entire three series was priceless. I can't wait for the promised 75 minute special later this year (2022).
There are so many "best jokes" I don't know where to start. But for me, this scene is the one that sealed the deal for me. I became a die hard fan from the "explosion" on. Love this show!!!
123jerro Yes, 100% confirmed 3rd (but final) season,... I'd give nearly anything to even merely visit, much less live in such a peaceful historically aware place.
Now all 3 seasons are available on Acorn. Am totally addicted, seeing the whole thing through for the second time this week. Weird craving for more seasons of a show that has been over for several years, but it's just that good!!!
So many terrific one liners. But I thought the introduction of Simon and Garfunkel was brilliant. So much comedy at their expense. Who would ever have thought of S+G as the bad guys?
I think the 2022 special capped the best joke. Every time in the beginning all they find is junk, then one time they find the literal Holy Grail with opening credits still rolling and almost throw it away.
It wasn’t until I was watching the series for the second time, I realised that all Andy’s jobs involved “sweeping” the ground in some form. As in the weed killing job, and the distance measuring. There are so many visual jokes.....the invisible dogs, the drone, the explosion, the lemonade, the farmer calling his dogs and they appear! Do I need to go on? Brilliant series. Although I will miss it, andy was right to stop when he did, otherwise it would have become tired. If you need another great English show, try Lesley man I’ll in “Mum”. Excellent script and well observed characters.
Totally agree about Mum. And my third series to add to my list of those that I can watch over and over and never grow tired is the wonderful Victoria Woods' Dinnerladies
Indiana Jones and the temple of nnerrh Bishop's invisible dogs have disappeared It's the fkin Google watermark there is very little international trade in onions
I've only just realised that the third line in the song is 'I will be your treasure', for years I thought Johnny was singing I will be your Horse Trader.
Thanks for sharing about "Detectorists." I think you nailed it on many levels. The show is a gem. It's not perfect, but what show is? It's pleasant and has great messages about what is really important in life - like friendship, love, etc. There's time enough to focus of evil. Life is good too.
Great series. The bit I found funny was when Andy had baby Stan with him and about to feed him his bottle and Lance say's I'll do it. Then Andy say's check the milk is not too hot then Lance takes a drink and say's it's fine. Andy say's that's??? Lance say's WHAT!!! breast milk 😂😂😂😂😂
It must KILL some of the detecting reality shows that have popped up over the years, that a piece of detecting FICTION like Detectorists, is FAR more popular than their "reality". That said, I still feel kinda bad that most of those reality show casts have probably been forced by the producers to ramp up the stupidity and sensationalism, in the producers misguided attempts to do what they think they must to grab the most viewers. Also, the detecting technique shown in Detectorists (say THAT 3 times fast) is better than 95% of what you'll see in ANY sort of media.
HI, the only thing is that it seems so old fashioned, no jerky camera work. It seemed as though some 60 year old was in charge of the filming, I like the quirky modern camera work with the 'swooshing' noises between shots, this gives modern drama excitement! I think it could do with more background music to make the silences in the dialogue not so annoying. The title music is a bit 'folky' and a bit 'twee', maybe a bit of classical music would be more appropriate. Maybe the show needs a bit of violence to spice it up, I've not seen enough sexual innuendo for my liking. Maybe a more picturesque location for the filming perhaps, it needs something as there isn't much going on! I can't see how this is main stream TV, how many people are actually metal detectors anyway? This program just shows what a waste of time metal detecting is for the majority of people. When I was working in a churchyard a couple of weeks ago to fix a gate on a public right of way, the church gardener gave us a load of grief, we couldn't understand why. He was very abusive way beyond what we normally have to endure. When he found out we were from the council to fix the gate he was extremely apologetic. He thought we were metal detectors to dig up the churchyard cemetery as we had arrived with spades etc. Cheers, John.
I was actually joking in my comment above. It has been my favourite TV show for some while and although I made up some things that made it appear I didn't like the show, on reflection they are probably contribute to my love of the series. 1. To me, great camera work. So many series have 'modern' camera work that I hate. 2. No annoying over intrusive background music. the only music is the great song performed by Johnny Flynn. 3. No violence (so far), just isn't needed. 4. Great characters acted brilliantly. 5. Some nice scenery. Great work by Mackenzie Crook, the cast and all who were needed to make the series. Now I've got to wait for series three! Cheers, John.

They must have decided on the casting before the S&A references were written in
The brilliant, and subtle punchline, comes when the police officer requests their names; Phillip PETERS AND Paul LEE.
Yeah but you missed off the punchline to maybe the longest joke in tv history
@@Rhialto-the-Marvellous The funniest line I've ever heard on any comedy show ever. And most people miss it.
Words cannot describe how brilliant “Detectorists” is.
I like Russel’s ‘I feel like I’ve been groomed’ line. On finding out Hugh’s in his 30’s.
Having said that, there are so many. It’s really hard to choose.
The one that I can't stop laughing at is when Andy finds the Jim'll Fix it badge.
No, it’s when the lady who never talks finally has something to say and Lance tells her to stop rambling! 😂

This show encapsulates what is brilliant about England .
The simon and Garfunkel flying a drone sequence. Genius!
The fist bumps between Andy and Lance every time they reference Simon and Garfunkel lyrics...each reference goes right over the other pair's heads.
I loved the jokes, but also loved the Easter eggs, or homages. Like the nod to M.R. James' "Oh Whistle and I will Come" with the falcon whistle. Or When Andy rescues the little frog on the verge; he looks just like Catweazel.

The vegetable gag is the best for me. Every time Lance wants to knock off early, he asks the foreman if he can go "when I've finished doing them...." naming a different vegetable every single time.
I thought you meant the gag where Lance cooks vegetables that fell on the ground at work and may or may not have tire marks.
The Jim'll Fix It badge being found, and then thrown away... cried laughing at that.
Season 1 episode 2. Terry, "We have not had a fatality at the DMDC in nearly 3 years!" Hilarious.
Agreed. And then he finishes it off "And I intend to keep it that way."
“Where’s the finds table?” “We couldn’t find it!”
My favorite line from the series; "you might want to give that, a wipe" 😂❤😂❤😂
'They're removing the body now.'
'In a body bag?'
'Tupperware.'
"I feel as though I've been groomed!"
Young Hugh and his coca colas
Do you have a syndrome? Lol!
Terry: Where's the Finds Table? Russell: We couldn't find it.
'What flightless bird is the unofficial symbol of New Zealand? '
'The kangaroo?'
Still cracks me up.
The real answer of course being the injured pigeon. How did it get injured? Nobody knows!

Fair play, MacKenzie nailed it on this one.
Very hard to choose a favourite scene. Probably the first tasting of Sheila’s fresh made lemonade.

Lovely show which I have only just discovered. Flawless other than we had to wait till series 3 to hear a Suffolk/rural Essex accent. The hiker.

The scene where Sheila first brings Lance, Andy and Terry a tray of lemonade. "Wow! That's lemonade!"

They, you know, they made a poster of this very thing. Black and white explosion with a detector flying through the air.
The explosion was the god of vhf getting revenge for him saying "over and out" its meant to be just "out"

I would love to be a detectorist but cant because those two would have to be with me. Lol. Lovely series.
Never seen the programme/series (I'm overseas) but though I was expecting a loud bang to be the punchline it was still funny.

I think it could do with more background music to make the silences in the dialogue not so annoying. The title music is a bit 'folky' and a bit 'twee', maybe a bit of classical music would be more appropriate. Maybe the show needs a bit of violence to spice it up, I've not seen enough sexual innuendo for my liking. Maybe a more picturesque location for the filming perhaps, it needs something as there isn't much going on!
