I am SO looking forward to this! I'm also thrilled we actually got a series three; Mackenzie Crook wasn't at all sure whether there would be for quite a long time. Even if this is the last series, as is rumoured, I'll be happy. I'd hate for it to drag on too long and go a bit rubbish; but two series wouldn't have been enough, IMHO.
It is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and finely crafted pieces of TV that's been made for many, many years. The characters are so real and well drawn; even the ones that hardly feature have a depth to them, and it's so gorgeously shot.
You might be able to tell that I'm a bit of a fan
Yes yes YES!We've never seen it, should we catch up?
OMG, yes!
It is an absolute little gem; utter perfection, every line, every shot is just perfect. Subscribe to something or buy the DVDs if you have to, you won't regret it!
Hmmm, can't find it on Sky Catch-Up. Will have to set Techy on it!
Another thumbs up for Detectorists - it's a low key gem. Script & cast are excellent. Music is good too. One episode will be enough to tell if it's for you or not.
There's the 'What Music?' thread in Chat.I just want to upload a heavy metal music video, but I haven't detected the right thread yet..
All I ever found were rusty old tractor parts and a crushed drinking vessel, possibly from the reign of the Roman emperor Pepsius Maximus.Hoard of more than 550 rare gold and silver 14th century coins worth an estimated £150,000 are dug up by a group of amateur metal detectorists

Lenborough Anglo Saxon coin hoard valued at £1.35m
7 June 2016
A metal detectorist is to get a share of £1.35m after finding a hoard of 5,251 Anglo Saxon silver coins.
Paul Coleman found the coins in Lenborough, Buckinghamshire, in 2014.
The Treasure Valuation Committee has ruled on their worth and Mr Coleman will split the money with the land owner.
The Buckinghamshire County Museum had already launched a fundraising campaign ahead of the valuation, with the aim of buying the hoard.
The coins, which were found buried and wrapped in a [lead] sheet in the village near Buckingham, depict the heads of King Ethelred the Unready and King Canute and came from 40 different mints around England.
Mr Coleman, who lives in Southampton and is a member of the Weekend Wanderers Detecting Club, said he was accepting the valuation and wanted the hoard to go to the Buckinghamshire County Museum.
Two metal detectorists have been jailed for stealing a £3m Viking hoard.
George Powell and Layton Davies uncovered about 300 coins in a field in Eye, near Leominster, Herefordshire, in 2015, but did not declare the treasure, instead selling it to dealers.
They were convicted of theft and concealing their find, with Powell, 38, jailed for 10 years and Layton, 51, for eight-and-a-half.
Sentencing, Judge Nicholas Cartwright said they had "cheated" the public.

They have sold most of it so it has gone forever.
