Liam to Dean happened because James Mcavoy got Holiwood Famous after the 1st series.

My mate loved it so much he's forked out 4OO notes on buying a
Detector and he's off to some rally up north to do some searching.

I love the casual dropping in of Simon and Garfunkle song titles into the conversations and the knowing looks between them. Great subtle English humour at its best.

Early Doors as mentioned is a belter, despite the unexplained switch from Liam to Dean. A 3rd series as they are older would be very welcome.

It's brilliant! Gentle understated British humour, great characters and beautiful cinematography, if you've had a bad day sit down and enjoy it with a glass of your favourite tipple, it never fails to cheer me up so I might need to watch a couple of episodes tonight after the barcodes game

Detectorists is fantastic.
Toby Jones was on TMS a couple of years ago and he told how it came to be.
Mackenzie Crook contacted Toby Jones and said that he had an idea for a programme and he wanted Toby Jones to be in it. Toby Jones said he was interested and could he look at a script. A few days later he received a draft script of the first episode and called Mackenzie Crook to he was a definite yes. Crook then wrote the rest of the first series and it went into production.

I must have watched it about ten times now.
Never get bored with it as each time there's something that I missed.
Just a great great show.

Really, laid back, enjoyable comedy.
Not too taxing on the brain and some lovely scenery shots with decent, chilled out music.
Best character is Sheila

I was a latecomer to this so watched all 3 series and both specials in a week last month.
I really liked it. Written and directed very well by Mackenzie Crook and, as said earlier, Rachel Sterling is a proper sort and Toby Jones was quite brilliant.

Wonderful.
Just the tonic. Loved the series.
The last episode ( before the Xmas special) was brilliant.
Loved the sparing between there nemisis Terra Firma, or Simon and Garfunkel..
Andy's Mrs is a right sort..

WHU(EX) As I'm a Gloucestershire bod I'm in full agreement with that opinion. I relate so much with small town rural life.

I've never watched this so will give it a go. I have watched 2 Doors Down though and I'm a big fan. Christine is superb.

I love it, right down to the music at the end
Also really like This Country, which is vaguely similar in pace and humour.
