Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

shalinalikestosing This show is the epitome of British humour. Sarcastic, tongue in cheek, simplistic and witty. Pure entertainment from start to end. Detectorists is up there with Black Books for me... and just like Black Books, it left me in a schizophrenic state of wishing there was more to watch and respectfully pleased with the decision to end without disappointment.

bocofiddleworth This is surely what truly entertaining television is meant to be.

Jackson Booth-Millard I tried this show when it was first seen on BBC Four, to be honest, I was mainly attracted to it by the fact that Mackenzie Crook was acting, directing and writing, and I knew that metal detection is a big hobby in Britain, so why not make a joke out of it, it is one of those oh so simple but oh so fantastic ideas for a sitcom. Basically in the small town of Danebury in northern Essex, Andy Stone (Mackenzie Crook) is an agency worker with an interest in archaeology, and Lance Stater (BAFTA nominated Toby Jones) is a forklift truck driver and amateur musician. Andy and Lance are good friends, and they are members of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club (DMDC), an exclusive club for many eccentric detectorists, characters who have an interest in metal detecting. Andy and Lance, besides being with their girlfriends and getting on with their normal work, spend a lot of their time walking across the countryside, the ploughed fields and open fields, with their metal detectors. They always hope to find something made of metal that is rare, interesting, or obviously really valuable, but most of the time they find disposed items, such as ring pulls, nails and screws, toys, cutlery, stationary, inexpensive jewellery, and a controversial Jim'll Fix It "Jim Fixed It for Me" medal. Andy and Lance are also often competing with rival detectorists Art (Simon Farnaby) and Paul (Paul Casar), mockingly nicknamed Simon & Garfunkel, who are not only encroaching on their patch, but constantly changing their name, which include The Antiquisearchers, The Dirt Sharks and Terra Firma. What Andy and Lance are really hoping to find is treasure, specifically a collection of highly valuable ancient coins, believed to be buried beneath the fields they often scour, there are many times throughout the series that they come close to finding one or all the coins, either just beneath their feet, or in a tree snatched by magpies. Also starring Rachael Stirling as Becky, Gerard Horan as Terry, Pearce Quigley as Quigley, Russell, Divian Ladwa as Hugh, Laura Checkley as Louise, Sophie Thompson as Sheila, Orion Ben as Varde, Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Sophie, Alexa Davies as Kate, EastEnders' Lucy Benjamin as Maggie, Dame Diana Rigg as Veronica, Adam Riches as Tony, Tim Key as Tim, Kenneth Collard as the Mayor, Linda Lusardi, Kevin Bishop as Kelvin and Kevin Eldon as Auctioneer. Crook does a great job writing and directing a surprisingly witty show, and he is good acting as an eccentric as well, Jones is equally fantastic as the more eccentric man who has all the facts about every find. It is admittedly a show with a very slow pace, but that is obviously part of the joke, it is all about the interactions between the characters, mostly the main double-act, the humorous subjects of conversations, and obviously their pointless unearthed finds, the search for treasure is a good running trend, it is also worth mentioning the likeable theme tune by Johnny Flynn, a delightful situation comedy. It won the BAFTA for Best Scripted Comedy. Very good!

anniemarshallster It was all about the trees, then... and the blackbirds, a bit. But there was magic in there. The pared back simple beauty of this series (and its resolution at the end of series 3 if that is Mackenzee Crook's final decision although I do hope not) will remain with me as the gold standard of television comedy writing. Nothing flashy, just perfect observation and a sense of balance and love of nature. What more would you want It is informed by its sense of place and understanding of people and seems to spring out of that bedrock of Englishness that was part of Powell and Pressberger films like A CANTERBURY TALE. I wonder what Mackenzie will do next? It will be very hard to top this series but with a talent like his I guess it will be done. Watch this man, he's a poet.I'd love him to write/direct something from the thirties or forties - maybe that Michael Innes thriller FROM LONDON FAR - that might match Mackenzie's style.
