I've only recently discovered The Detectorists (now on iplayer as I haven't had a TV for many years). The utterly gorgeous theme song drew me to it, but the programme is an absolute favourite. I have to resist binge watching because I don't want it to end. I really love the blend of humour with realistic human quirky/sad fragility and the stunning photographic glimpses of nature and the countryside. No wonder Mackenzie won an award!

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.

I haven't bothered watching TV. It's either murder or glorifying crime,using urinals and just the general toxic filth that I refuse to invite into my home. This beautifully written comedy with skilled players, beautiful cinematography is the only reason why we paid our bbc licence fee. There were no cliches, no cruelty or hate. It is beautiful,very funny, subtle and intelligent. An absolute delight.

I have watched the Detectorist series several times over... probably the best thing on the BBC since Fawlty Towers. Mackensie Crook, Toby Jones, Rachel Sterling and the rest of the cast may not understand just what greatness that has been achieved here! As a detectorist myself for many years and having found 'my gold'… I fully appreciate the theme that the show is based around... but the real gem is the social humour and emotional interaction between the characters in the story line. A TV master piece for those that make the effort to dig just a little deeper... the music in the series fits perfectly too; well done Mr Flynn.

My favourite ever tv comedy. I’ve been in hobby clubs, though not metal detecting ones, and I recognise all the characters. I’ve seen grown men get misty eyed discussing gazebos. I own a classic car and can also see other elements of Lance in myself. It is so beautifully written and acted and, as with all the best comedy, it can move you from laughs to tears in a moment. Pure genius.

I wonder if the presenters had any real understanding of the heart and soul of The Detectorists? Understated with a sublime beauty and simplicity that is so difficult to recreate yet hypnotically engaging. Couldn't be further from Hollywood or morning TV. A missed opportunity having the multi talented but equally understated Mackenzie Crook sat in the studio. I'm sure there's a fascinating story to be told behind the ideas, history and settings of the series. Alas, like the Saxon hoarde Andy and Lance failed to unearth, Mackenzie's story remained mostly buried in the interview courtesy of Simone and Garfunkel aka the dirt sharks. ❤
