What a unique, and gently astonishing thing Detectorists is; closer in precedent to English folk music, or a Stanley Spencer painting, than TV sitcom. Tonight, old rivals "Simon and Garfunkel" (forever pursued by appropriate musical cues) suggest pooling resources, while Lance is persuaded to try hypnotherapy - which goes about as well as expected ("I want you to imagine you're lying on soft, warm sand." "Sorry, I'm very sensitive to the sun, I burn easily.")
