❤ Detectorists : Best scene ever

❤ #Detectorists
Why be a detectorists?...

[watermelonstitch]

best thing on the box for years bar none ...loved it

I've done archaeology, and it's the same thing. You take a piece of pottery out of the ground and sometimes you can lay your fingers into the grooves left by the fingers of the potter that made it. It's like shaking hands with someone who died a thousand years ago. I've actually been using this line about time travel to describe archaeology for years. Spot on!

So many great moments for this show, Sheila's Lemonaid, Simon and Garfunkel banter, Terry's explosive discovery and finding the Mayor's Key. At its heart though is a gentleness, charm and a wit that sets it far above most of the shows on TV. Perfection Imo.

Just viewed the entire series back to back - perfection. I think it’s the tiny little details that pull this show apart from the rest. Lance’s continuous play on Terry’s name!!! “Terry-dactyl”. A wonderful piece of television which will forever last the test of time in my opinion.

For me it was the scene discovering Hughs real age... Or the auction house scene! Pure gold.

Detectorists has to be just about the best T.V. series ever! Absolutley brilliant in every respect!

[dancingchicken]

Superb acting, well paced, brilliantly written. An intelligent comedy, gently delivered, and like much British TV series, with the understanding that the audience has sufficient intelligence to see the pathos and the humour in the situations as presented, without further explanation.

Mine is the scene when Becky meets Sophie for the first time. ‘She seems nice’ will forever have a new meaning…

Just binged the three series over the first three days of Easter

[nedkelly]

Lots of good scenes, but I would say my favorite is when the invisible dogs turn out to have been replaced with real ones, causing Simon and Garfunkel to flee.

[ThefightingCelt]

The scattered memories . Brilliant line.

Nothing will ever beat ‘itchy chin’ for me. The most 80s school reference ever 😂
Plus every scene with S&G. I can’t even hear them on the radio now without laughing 😊

Perfectly written, perfectly filmed, massively under-rated

One of the best scenes describes a man happily owning one cactus, until he is given another one, and pretty soon he had to move to house all his cacti that he's obsessively started collecting.

The best ending to the best made programme for years!! Desperate for a 4th series!!
Suberb TV.

[gavhinds]

From start to finish I love this series..

[mrteroo]

So many good scenes to choose from it's impossible to choose one. A funny one I really like is the "car chase" down the country Lane at 25mph, Lance in aviator shades shouting "That was brilliant. Good times, Good times!" Sad one I like was the quick dip into Sheila's sadness in the pub beer garden. Lance talking about his daughter, oblivious to Sheila's pain.

Dear producer, director and actor, please shoot a sequel to this fantastically beautiful and funny series "Detectorists"! It is the best series on television that I have ever seen, even if it was only shown on Arte with translated subtitles for German television and can be seen in the media library there until October. Perhaps it would also be dubbed linguistically by a German, I think it would be able to achieve a good success with us in Germany. Although I love the original English language version very much, because the voices and the actors are just wonderful. In all honesty, "Detectorists" is really great, please please shoot more of it, the audience will thank you! Especially now in the gloomy Corana times, detectorits is simply a bright light in the television sky, and probably brings many people to start with this wonderful hobby. I've been looking for my detector myself since 2012, it helps me to understand nature better every day and has helped me a lot in coping with the grief of my wife who passed away too early. Please let this series live again, people will thank you.

My favourite scene is where they drink the lemonade🤣

[mindrolling]

It’s true. We can’t travel ‘forward’ in time but by looking back, whether it’s archaeology, history or detectorists, you’re travelling back in time and also extending your own experience of life.
I think so, anyway.

The fact that this series is so gentle has me fallen in love with it. I love both guys and their partners. I also love "Simon and Garfunkel" (guy out of Horrible Histories!) Whoever is responsible for this show Mr Crook and his team - please keep this show as it is, nothing snazzy, beautiful characters. You might be able to keep this show going for 20 years.
