Detectorists: series 2 preview
Have they got a bit more budget for the second series of Detectorists? The opening episode starts with a historical battle... a big set piece that only serves to emphasise contrast between the drama of the past and the mundanity of the enthusiasts trying to connect with it, though the smallest of items.
