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

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.

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.

My wife walked down the aisle to this song. Thank you for your beautiful art that became our beautiful memory.

This song will always be special to me, as me and a friend watched it all, , together last summer, laughing at the humour and wishing we could go metal detecting. He passed away last week, i hope he found peace by a fishing lake somewhere and had some beautiful times in the sun.

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.

I love everything about this show: The gentle, beautiful music; the quiet, understated humour; the wonderful acting and, of course, those glorious Suffolk skies....

'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.

This has got to be the best theme song in history. It is so incredibly perfect as sort of thesis for the tone of the show. It's also just one of the most emotionally moving songs I've ever heard.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[frankhugh]

Detectorists was perfection and this song was perfect for the show.

did you see University challenge last night?

[aubreyheartburn]

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.

[Zanderfist]

I absolutely love this theme song. So gentle and natural, and it suits the theme of the show perfectly.

[KingoRichie]

Getting to hear this song at the beginning of each episode makes it difficult not to binge.

[BettyandtheBees]

This song could even make Shiela's lemonade taste lovely.

[taylorhetherington]

This is the type of show to make you feel okay about the future

[fanellafanella]

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'm a keen detectorist myself, I've never found gold though. I listen to this song most days before I go out detecting, gets me in the right mood somehow. Such a beautiful song and a brilliant series.

Everything about it from start to finish is just so beautiful. The concept is so simple but yet so poignant.
