I would love the first series to get a re-run on BBC 1 to good to be hidden away on BBC4 even if its done really well on that station.

ha ha - the first scene there

- great writing and acting

Opening credits - hayfever sufferers worst nightmare.

The show is a gem - like bbc's best shows it's not on often.

The quickest 30 minutes on TV.

Nice opening episode.

It was great. Mackenzie Crook has written something special.

I was a bit worried they’d done away with the opening credits in the first few minutes.

Brilliant and the ending was stunning showing you the history of the field.

Just makes you smile and feel warm inside.

It was great wasn't it? and wonderful music from the Unthanks to accompany it.

Just got to ep 1 of the new series last night.

Great to see Tim Key make an appearance and lovely to have it back.

Great episode.

Glad to see Simon & Garfunkel back

Episode 2 was great. Did I miss something or did they not explain why Andy came back from abroad?

Wow, that opening scene was a bit of a surprise this week. Looking good.

The Xmas special covered that.

This is beautifully shot.

It's the use of tiny jokes that I love about it. Did anyone notice Varda is not heard but gets chided for talking too much?.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #213 on:** December 1, 2017, 06:46:54 pm »

Lovely series - so subtle and so wonderful. I think I'm in love with Lance's daughter too.

ChrisOH · « **Reply #214 on:** December 1, 2017, 07:30:57 pm »

When Lance and Andy were setting up the tent and they were leaning in opposite directions to speak to each other

How's it taken me 3 series to realize Andy's mother-in-law is Olenna Tyrell

And she's the actual mother of Andy's girlfriend in real life too!

Yeah. I looked that up when I realised the similarity between them.

Emma Peel, surely

Yeah Emma Peel is the mother of Rachel Stirling. Who is now married to Guy Garvey from Elbow of course.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #219 on:** December 11, 2017, 08:10:37 pm »

They’ve set this up for a tense finish.

Suspect this week's will be the last ever episode so I hope it’s a happy ending...

tinner777 · « **Reply #220 on:** December 14, 2017, 09:03:26 am »

Loved all of it, sad it's finished though....
Great ending

Igor Tripod Biscan · « **Reply #221 on:** December 14, 2017, 11:36:59 am »

Absolutely beautiful, so poignant, a perfect ending to a perfect TV show

Imagine what that scene of the rest of the detectorists arriving for the 'festival' would have been like if it was a U.S. show....kill bill or bad boys type music. This is such an amazing programme and a great final series (not season you hipster meffs)

Peabee · « **Reply #222 on:** December 14, 2017, 11:42:48 am »

The finale didn’t disappoint; what a beautiful show. I was even glad that Simon & Garfunkel were accepted into their fold. Mackenzie Crook has written a gem of a series.

Igor Tripod Biscan · « **Reply #223 on:** December 14, 2017, 12:03:16 pm »

I loved the lovely bit with Lance carrying the box with Fragile and an arrow pointed up, Was half expecting emma peel to be a secret bidder also but thankfully he didn't go down that route

Partridge is one of the most incredible british comedy creations and the office is a great ensemble piece but this for me is the best in recent years

Such an amazing use of Pathos. I love every character in this. Its a show that makes me want to be a better person

Alan_X · « **Reply #224 on:** December 14, 2017, 12:36:57 pm »

Wonderful. How many ways to find treasure? Varda finding that ring, Terry getting his book published, Simon and Garfunkel finding friendship and the realisation they have more in common than things that divide, Andy finding a home and his own shed, Lance settling down, Andy and Lance saving the tree... and the gold sitting in the magpie’s nest was the least important of all.

Loved Sheila’s ‘lemonade’ making an appearance.

ChrisOH · « **Reply #225 on:** December 14, 2017, 08:35:12 pm »

Loved that finale. Gutted that it will most likely be the final episode. Agree with all the comments above, my favourite comedy of recent years. Such a subtle and wonderfully crafted show.

Yiannis · « **Reply #226 on:** December 15, 2017, 01:14:45 pm »

So peaceful, with great and clever doses of humour and such likeable characters. Love this series and would definitely watch it again.

Yanwoo · « **Reply #227 on:** December 15, 2017, 01:17:31 pm »

Was just on the lookout for another a ~30min episode TV series, looks like this fits the bill.

Watched the first episode last night, I like it!

S · « **Reply #228 on:** December 15, 2017, 02:13:30 pm »

Perfect way to end it, what a delight this has been. I feel like episodes of Detectorists should be prescribed to calm people down, it's hypnotically charming.

I love a lot of US shows, but you are so, so right here.

Smiled the whole way through it,probably watch it through again soon.It warms the soul these cold days.

Cracking season - cracking show - really enjoyed them all.

Fairly quick on releasing the dvd boxset - just in time for Christmas

That was brilliant. Everything I could have wanted from the final episode.

Alan is spot on, so nice that everyone found the things that matter to them. Lovely progression for all the characters over the three series.

Trada · « **Reply #233 on:** December 17, 2017, 08:29:27 am »

Loved the latest series.

The only thing missing was we didn't get to see them do their Gold dance.

Yep, terrific series and a lovely ending.

Liked the reference to 'Witness' as well.

I love this series so much that I hope that there isn't another series. Do you know what I mean?

The ending was so perfect that I don't want them to undo it and stretch the characters in a different direction.

Missed the first two series so that will be something to look forward to in the New Year.

Gentle humour with peace and quiet in the field of gold. Bliss.

Just finished it...even the magpies were excellent!

Went for a jog down the lanes and fields today and started singing 'Climb through the brier and bramble' started giggling to meself....need to watch that could be looking on ebay for a GPZ 7000 or something next.

If anyone missed it BBC4 are showing the whole of the 3rd series tonight one after another from 10pm to 1am.
