TV preview: Detectorists, BBC4

Writer, director and star Mackenzie Crook has said that this is the last series of Detectorists. If that's the case it will be a great shame.

Detectorists series 3 review

For, as so much of this delightful series, while it seems like nothing much is happening, there's such a lot beneath the surface, hidden from view. What a perfect metaphor metal detecting turns out to be.

Detectorists returns to unearth more comic gold: review

It's almost compulsory in Detectorists reviews to say the show unearthed comic gold. Indeed it did. If you're yet to join the DMDC (Danebury Metal Detecting Club), treat yourself. Treasures await.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 8th November 2017

Detectorists is an utter joy

Detectorists is an absolute televisual treasure. I'm delighted that Series 3 is here.

Detectorists Series 3 confirmed

BBC Four has confirmed a third series of Detectorists, the sitcom about a group of treasure hunters written by and starring Mackenzie Crook.

British Comedy Guide, 31st March 2017

A crack squad of British actors are on parade in this loving homage to the cherished TV sitcom. Toby Jones is the pompous Captain Mainwaring, Bill Nighy the insouciant Sergeant Wilson and Michael Gambon is Private Godfrey, while Catherine Zeta-Jones brings some unlikely glamour to wartime Walmington-on-Sea. Hamish McColl's screenplay has its moments, but can't quite access the lovely, characterful warmth of TV series writers David Croft and the recently deceased Jimmy Perry.

Detectorists won't be coming back this year

Fans of Detectorists, the Bafta-winning Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones BBC4 metal detecting comedy, may have a bit of a wait for a third series. Creator (and director) Crook is currently still thinking about making another chunk of the comedy.
