The Detectorists (Comedy/British Mini-Series – Starring Mackenzie
Crook and Toby Jones)
Andy and Lance are members of the DMDC, the Danebury Metal
Detectors Club. They like to spend their
free time searching the countryside for an ancient Saxton ship burial but
mostly find pop-tops, Matchbox cars and buttons. Andy is finding balancing his love of his
hobby and the love of his girlfriend and realizes he may need to make some hard
decisions. Lance is still helping his
ex-wife (and thereby her new husband) with issues in her life and has to wonder
if he’s being taken advantage of along the way.
Things come to a head when the Antiquisearchers, a rival club of
detectorists, starts searching the land Andy and Lance got special permission
to search.
In a word, charming.
Watching these six thirty-minute segments you really become fond of Andy
and Lance and want them to find something, anything!, important. At the core it’s a quirky group of people experiencing
life and all the curveballs it throws their way.
