Detectorists, is a quirky British comedy-drama TV series about two friends who share this passion for metal detecting.
Written, directed and co-starring Mackenzie Crook (who played the detestable Gareth Keenan in The Office) now playing the character
of Andy. Along with his wise-cracking friend Lance, excellently played by Toby Jones (Marvellous, Infamous) the two spend their days plodding through
fields, hoping to find their fortune with a couple of metal detectors.
Through the six episodes series you are introduced to an amusing
cast of characters who are also drawn to this curious hobby. Detectorists, is
well written with clever humour and enjoyably charming.
Here is a short preview of Episode One that ran on BBC Four.
