This was on Vera tonight . End of the first part of the final series. Set near Newcastle. Recognised immediately

So glad Detectorists used it. The finishing touch to the finest 3 series I have ever seen on TV.

Much deeper than just music, goes straight to the soul.

I love their north east accents  - native English voices, beautiful.

[terrymcquaid]

One of the best written, directed and acted pieces of story telling about these Isles, ever told on TV

[magwitch]

I can't be the only one with shivers running down my back now?

[teec]

Worzul Gummidge got me here!!! Merry Christmas to one and all...

This does not take you back to another time it is something that resonates through all ages and all time it is this which holds us together as humans and it is this which holds the key to our collective future.

I still listen to this 7 years later. Possibly my favourite Jools performance!

Live in a flat with a small balcony but I get regular visits from a pair of magpies "Plonk & Thud" 'cause I "always leave a little bit 'o meat for the bird that's black & white"...They are my joy.

Wow just seen this song on bbc program. Got their name on the credits. I adore folk music. And had added this group to my playlist. So happy to have found them. Beautiful.

Wonderful song, wonderful voices. Detectorists was the best thing on tv since...since...a long time. It’s originality was exceptional apart for the superb cast.

[jomcgrady]

This is perfection, those voices soar! beautiful

[bassfingers]

Beautifully atmospheric. Should you ever get the chance I recommend listening to this driving west along the North Norfolk coast from Cromer to Bingham during the fading light of a beautiful December sunset. This was the soundtrack of my recent break in Walsingham. Haunting and beautiful. ✌🏻❤️

[dianapollen]

Worzel Gummidge brought me here, too! Fantastic. Festive Greetings to all.

[JonnyBGood]

Just leaves you in a trance listening to it...brilliant 👏👏

[TimmyBadger]

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this performed live. It sent shivers down my spine

[Vladdie]

Bloody love this, beautiful. Feels like going back to a better time.

[howardnorris]

Here the thing that gets me. This little part of Detectorists tells me almost stronger than anything else I have ever seen that we are all part of a continuum and we should both rejoice in the past and never fear the now or the future... it's all OK

[tonyrotherham]

One of the most haunting songs I have ever heard.
