Hello, my name is Martin Schmitz from Germany, and I have never seen such a beautiful, fantastic series as "Detectorists" in my life, these films are so humorous and full of love that one would like to watch all episodes together, it is already like an addiction, but a nice pleasant addiction! I've seen a lot of films in my 54 years, but I've never been more delighted by films like the series "Detectorists", the actors and the script are unique, just close to the life of the simple, that's what makes this series so likeable. "Detectorists" deserves a sequel with new episodes, many people would certainly be grateful for it and these many people are waiting with great longing for a continuation of this unique wonderful series that touches the hearts of so many people! Please consider a sequel, you would make an audience of millions very happy. Kind regards, Martin Schmitz

[@emmawelsh5336]

I totally agree with you. I've never enjoyed watching anything as much as I enjoyed this series. I've watched it 4 times.

We don't like you but let's drink together 🖐️

[@artdonovandesign]

I'm a 68 year old American who grew up on TV since it began. I am here to say that "Detectorists" is the finest television series of it's genre ever produced. I realize of course that it's a bold statement, considering the thousands of really great British, American and Global shows made in the last 60+ years. (Many might disagree with my opinion (and I realize that it's just my personal opinion and that my comments are not meant to create a "contest"). But I think we can ALL agree that Mr. Crook is a bona fide, cinematic genius (writer, producer, actor) of the First Order. From his initial concept to casting, story line, script, pacing, editing, sets, location, music, lighting and MOST of all... that brilliant and sublime humor! I just cannot praise this series and Mr. Crook high enough! And Johnny Flynn's unique, tender, clever and perfect theme song coupled with his honest and infectious performance easily rivals anything produced by Dylan.

[@siliconjim2554]

Art Donovan I couldn't agree more with you, it makes me love the world like I did when I was young. Come to England one day, visit our countryside, Devon, Cornwall, Surrey, Herefordshire, Shropshire, you won't regret it.

[@MrDaiseymay]

@@siliconjim2554 I must add, assuming Art is interested in Historic items etc---there are few countries that can equal Britains History, 4000 + compacted years of it. Large hoards of ancient gold and jewels are still been found here, by Detectorists.

I concur. I dare anyone to not fall in love with all of those characters.

[@jaimyjoh]

A wonderful series and I will admit that when Lance and Andy finally got it right, the wise Magpies responded and the series drew to close...tears came pretty easily to my eyes

[@vivienclogger]

Agreed. I live in the area where it's based. In some ways it's a fantasy world, but so perfect in its rendering that it almost seems real. It is utterly beautiful.

[@Runningtherace51]

I'm a 51 year old man in the US and this is the best series I have ever watched. I loved the witty humor, beautiful landscapes with that smiling hazy sunshine. The reconciliation with "Simon and Garfunkel" at the end was heartwarming. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this 10 years later.

[@calimanjaro]

Absolutely astonishing series 🎉👏🏼

[@marcydesade]

Welcome to England, my friend. McKenzie Crook turned down Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 to write, star in and direct Detectorists. Legend!

[@bou7990]

Probably the best TV series I have seen in a long time. Real meaning, real heart and real soul throughout that encapsulates you into their world; the real world. And this soundtrack really is the perfect icing on the cake. No matter how hard you search for gold, chances are it's already right in front of you.

'If their gentle exploits haven’t made your heart sing and your stomach go fuzzy then, well, we can never be friends.', quote from a Guardian review of the show back in 2017. I've only just found this show, but it's great to see how many people's lives it has benefited.

[@fanellafanella1926]

I'm Italian and I always watched American series, dubbed or subtitled. In recent years I have found British series, and I realized that they are clearly superior, in writing, acting, everything. This series summarizes how much British are better in this work. (Sorry for bad English, I hope it is understood what I meant.) Bye. Ciao.

I didn't bother with this show when it was on TV, however, I have just bought the box set and I'm in love. For me, this programme embodies and typifies the beauty and eccentricity of my beautiful country, England. It has made me laugh and cry in equal measure. I love the characters, the gentle humour and the hark back to the near, yet so far, past. Best programme in decades.

ktommycary he was interviewed last year, radio 6 with radmac, prior to the Xmas episode and said he felt it best to leave at 2 series rather than possibly over do it or ruin the first 2 series with a not as good 3rd series. As much as I loved it and would of liked a 3rd series I think he's a way smarter man than me and knows best, so I have to agree. think the fresh lemon scene was one of the best scenes 😂

I had been waiting for the right time to see him for the first time in ages and then he died so the lyrics ' i'm waiting for you ' are really sad for me.

[@beanheadman404]

It’s the same with my dad he loved this show and found a few good things himself. We also played this at his funeral. My mum also told me that he was going to give me his equipment when he passed and I love it.

[@VincentAcrimony]

All the best to you both. Somehow, this show does seem like a real 'dad' show. It was touching to read your comments. My father died a year before the first series came out but I know he would have loved it - Mackenzie Crook in this resembles my father in some ways in this series which to me is a comfort. I never would have found this gem of a series if not for my grief counsellor at school. It is a show to be shared with someone, even if they are no longer with us.

I first watched this when it debuted but it didn't catch with me until a good few years later. I started watching it through the summer of 2020, in the middle of UK lockdown. My lifelong friend and I would meet outside and sit by the river, a little walk across the fields from where I live. We would sit by the shore, drinking tea, eating biscuits and watching the landscape. This song absolutely reminds me of that time. I also recommended Detectorists to him and he loves it too. This song is absolutely perfect as it encapsulates those lazy warm summer afternoons chatting with an old friend.

[@beardedbjorn5520]

MacKenzie Crook is so under rated. Before this show I mainly knew him as the guy with the fake eye from Pirates of the Caribbean. This has become one of my most favorite shows. The humour is very understated and subtle, which is such a pleasant change from being able to see a pinchline from a mile away. The dialogue is perfect. And this song echos this perfectly.

You might enjoy seeing him in "the Office" - which isn't a new series obviously but became a classic in the meantime. Give it a try, you won't regret it ;-) PS: And yes, of cause you are right: Series as well as song are treasures.

Check him out in 'the office'

[@johncarey9197]

I love the skirt between the two of them and he tells him “well that’s stalking” “ no! It’s only stalking if you do it a bunch of times.” “ so how many times did you follow her ?” “ four or five times. I think you need a lot more than that to be a stalker.” I paraphrase I don’t know the scene off by heart but that was roughly it. I nearly pissed my boxers laughing at that scene.

The script and acting are so perfect and the beautiful Suffolk countryside and the filming in the picturesque village of Framlingham fit so perfectly. If you ever get a chance to visit this little gem of a place then do so. The village hall, church, Maggie's shop, Two Brewers pub and Framlingham Castle (not featured in the show) are all within a five minute walk of each other and we love to visit whenever we are down from Sheffield. All the actors involved are so perfectly cast and yes the theme tune is also an absolute gem. If you love this show then check out Mackenzie Crooks take on Worzel Gummidge.... its a treat.

[@Wally-H]

I took up metal detecting about two and a half years ago. It has helped to get me through a very difficult period in my personal life. Listening to this song and watching the show make me emotional. Standing alone on one of my beautiful permissions watching the sun set over the horizon on a summer's evening whilst searching for history is a pleasure only fellow detectorists could truly understand. When you pull something amazing out of the ground it gives you a feeling you can't really put into words - just being the first person to hold whatever it is for hundreds of years. I really do feel like those little artefacts and coins are waiting for me to rescue them. This song is pure brilliance. I know it means a lot to many people - that's obvious from the comments here. Thanks so much Johnny for sharing your talent with us.

[@badjemima]

This is just one of the most lovely TV shows ever. Everything about it is wonderful, from this theme song to the deliciously lovely stories and characterisations. I adore it.

[@badgergoddard7655]

Definitely need a fourth series

[@yajairab3541]

This song makes me cry sometimes. It's so pretty and sad.

[@rhodmoses6963]

yeah same, I find it completely heart breaking

[@xxxxx103]

The most beautiful series ever made. Simple and honest. Perfect viewing. Perfect soundtrack. I never wanted it to end. 💜💜

[@powderedground78]

My best pal and I talk about this show at least once during our drunken weekly ramblings at our local. The most wonderful show with the most lovely fan base. It really was a gem and as much as I long for a 4th series, I'd rather pine for it than ever be disappointed with it overrunning. In this hectic life and crazy time in Britain right now, this show was the perfect antidote on all that is great. Bucolic loveliness. Pub? Go on then.

[@3254steveo]

My wife walked down the aisle to this song last year. Its a memory I will cherish for eternity.

[@samnasti482]

It’s the perfect antidote to the last 3 years.

[@jerburke1018]

Im a proud MDist!..This song here is my little club national anthem!..Its more than a hobby,its a chance to discover history!

[@TheRealBoroNut]

This series is the best thing since ring pull tabs. Specifically Tizer circa 1978.

[@rememberingcharles350]

Laugh out loud! Excellent pertinent joke!

[@alexgreen1559]

One of my favourite things about Detectorists is just how artful it is. This beautiful song ties in perfectly.

[@robertclarke5787]

Absolutely love this song and the series. I felt that the star of the show was the countryside...made me want to go detectoring myself.

[@derekgibbs7271]

Such a wonderful theme song for a great series 😊

[@freeradical1956]

This song ... and the show ... remind of when I was just an innocent young boy ... wonderful ... thank you ...

[@matrix26uk]

The 1st show in a long long time where I didn't FF through the theme. Thanks Johnny

[@cdcanada7182]

Lovely song in a lovely show.

[@charliehadfield5049]

There are very few songs that make feel so emotive. God I have loved this song for a long time thanks to the tv series and thanks to Johnny Flynn’s beautiful music.

[@davykrieger]

This song evokes such a wistful, loving, gentle feeling. I can't separate it from the time and the place and the circumstances in which I first heard it, and first watched the show. It's a joy, a ticket to revisit a happy time. So beautiful.

[@schellackfreund7816]

This is the best TV series I've ever seen. I'm a metal detectorist and everything was so accurate. The song fits the show so good. I hope it's real, that MacKenzie Crook announced season 4!

[@johncarey9197]

I watched the little documentary about the making of the show. McKenzie wanted to keep it authentic and Detectorists that he talk to were worried that they were going to be stereotyped as anorak wearing social misfits who were mentally unsound. And yes let’s face it it is a nerdy hobby. But McKenzie handled the material with velvet gloves regarding people with metal detectors and showed they are just normal people who like to metal detect there’s nothing weird about them.

[@davidkeep5398]

@@johncarey9197 Some time ago Mackenzie Crook was talking on BBC Radio 4 and quickly corrected the interviewer who assumed the series was intended to mock detectorists, making the point that all over UK many people indulge in hobbies some of which are agreed to be eccentric, even by the participants. Tapping into a great British comedy tradition of eccentric behaviour!

[@saralee132]

This is such a beautiful song and it was such a good fit for the Detectorists. I cry every time I listen to this.

[@VacantHaven]

By far the best series on TV in a long time, please SERIES 4 Mckenzie!

[@marciah0312]

This is such a beautiful song! I just recently discovered "The Detectorists" and absolutely love it! I wish it was back since it apparently ran only a couple of seasons. It's brilliant - such fantastic acting/story line.

[@natureisallpowerful]

Hello Marcia . you have good taste in TV. Lance and Andy are every day people. Respect from north Yorkshire England

[@alicesullivan001]

I just started watching it yesterday. I absolutely love it . Such a beautiful program. I find it very relaxing to watch. Brilliant cast ❤❤

[@Basman59]

Dectectorists brought me here and I had no idea I wasn't alone. I had thought I was becoming a sad old sap before his time. The most melancholic yet inspiring love song that so warms the heart with hope. Then the show kicks in and is probably my favourite of all time. Defiitely one for the iPod.

[@ricksivyer7427]

We've only just watched this series and in my opinion it's the best thing since sliced bread, it reminds me of the good old days. I wish I could join a group like this, so funny and humorous, I think I'll be watching it again, please lets have more programs like this one.
