Detectorists - Series 1-2 Complete [DVD]

Product Information

Interestingly, the DVD has all six episodes + a Behind The Scenes bonus feature on one disc; the Blu is split between two discs with episodes 1-3 on Disc One and episodes 4-6 + the bonus feature on the other. Acorn could've easily put all the content onto one Blu, but it looks they've decided to aim for the highest possible quality, so hats off to them. Toby Jones's character, Lance Slater, is a forklift driver and proud owner of a yellow Triumph TR7. His ex-wife Maggie (Lucy Benjamin) runs a New Age supplies shop and has a habit of disrupting Lance's life. The Detectorists Christmas special 2022 is released on Boxing Day at 9 pm on BBC Two. It will also be available to watch on iPlayer. See our Christmas TV guide for more shows to enjoy. What's the plot?

Who knows what they might be called if season 4 happens… Is Detectorists Over? Will There Be a Fourth Season? Will these guys return for a season 4? And ignore the fact that it's a supposed US import; it's Region-Free so you don't need a chipped player. The gentle comedy was a surprise hit, winning a BAFTA award in 2015. In May 2019, a panel of sitcom writers and actors voted it 19th in a Radio Times list of Britain's 20 favourite sitcoms. Help seems to be on hand when Lance gets permission to search a 10-acre plot of land suspected of concealing buried treasure, but surprise developments put their rescue bid along with Lance and Andy's friendshipon the line.Detectorists was first broadcast on BBC Four on October 2nd, 2014, followed by series 2 in October 2015. In March 2017, the BBC confirmed the filming of a third and final season which started airing on BBC Four in November 2017. Each series has six episodes, plus one Christmas special in-between series 2 and 3.

I feel I hardly need to comment on this series as it has already received critical acclaim. However, I will just add my great appreciation for this beautiful, subtle comedy. At the moment, when so many comedies are in-your-face and gag-led, it is a delight to have a flawless, gentle comedy about people one can imagine meeting in real life, who -- in a century obsessed with superficialities -- are portrayed with sensitive understanding of their obsessions and problems, who are tied to the rural land by their obsession with metal-detecting. The humour arises from the sort of things which happen to all of us from time to time, as we try to survive with affections intact and humanity undimmed in a rather insensitive world. If you are not used to the slow pace, essential to establish the calm in which such reflections can arise, and the hobby be truthfully represented, you may find it a struggle at first but once you relax into it, it has delights and rewards which only multiply the more one watches and repeat the watching of this excellent creation. Read full review And I'm thrilled (and relieved!) to report that there's no competition - the DVD looks like it has a soft, hazy and fuzzy filter over the image, the Blu is sharper, clearer with obviously superior line definition and detail.

All series

Although metal detecting is the central activity in the show, it's really a story about friendship and getting the chance to peer into the lives of a unique – yet totally ordinary – group of hobbyists.
