I have a lot to say on the topic but this margin is too narrow to contain it.
I have not yet been able to watch Detectorists, despite many people, including fellow archaeologists, recommending it. For me, it’s kind of like watching a sitcom that shows the funny and heartwarming conversation of two people while they systematically set fire to a historic building. Might be fun if you don’t care about the building, but otherwise it’s a deal-breaker.
I promise you it won’t be that. Ok some of the “villans” might try to do that.
What I am saying is that the act of detecting itself, even if they report to the PAS, is the arson in the analogy.
Not gonna lie, I’d watch that.
Arsonists: they get on like a house on fire.
Same-I couldn’t watch The Sopranos because the real mafia just isn’t funny.
I read this post around 6 am, I was just laying here with nothing to do until a meeting around 11 so I gave it a shot.
About 10 minutes in I thought, meh, but nothing else to do so I kept going.
Watched the first two episodes and still meh but I really need to learn about the missing wife and if it goes anywhere with Sophie. And what about the frog?
My best guess is I binge watch the whole thing within a week.
I’m gonna drag my wife in later today so I’m stopping until we watch the first two episodes together.
Don’t know yet if I should thank you or curse you. Time will tell.
I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn’t set fire to some great public building. I know I have.
Okay, we’re hooked, season one complete.
I’m sad there are only 6 episodes per season. The last time we got hooked on something that we couldn’t put down was Corner Gas.
Great show. Even has Diana Rigg in it. Enjoy.
And her daughter is played by her actual daughter
Detectorists and Ghosts have been my favourite BBC comedies of recent years. Inside No. 9, too
Diana Rigg and Rachel Stirling also played mother and daughter characters in Doctor Who not long before Detectorists.
Say “Yay, Detectorists!” every time it reappears.
