Andy and Lance are friends who share a passion for metal detecting. Although they act like an old married couple -- griping at each other -- there is a true bond between the two, and they have a common dream: finding a priceless collection of items that would cement their place in detecting history. Greed, betrayal and redemption are among the emotions experienced as Andy and Lance, along with their eccentric friends in the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, go in search of the big find that has eluded them to this point. The sitcom is written and directed by co-star Mackenzie Crook.

Graeme Blundell The Australian This is simply a wonderful and quite addictive series, its unusual comic piquancy turning it into a cult classic. Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Stuart Heritage Guardian There's a thick seam of dumb sweetness running right the way through it that should make it more palatable to outsiders. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Jasper Rees Daily Telegraph (UK) Crook's series, back for another rummage in the Anglo-Saxon subsoil of bromance and bathos, is that rare find: a truthful comedy about decent losers. Rated: 4/5 Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Kevin Heaney PopMatters Beneath it all lies the bedrock of the show, its dialogue. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Ben Dowell Radio Times I am glad to report that the fantastically funny Simon and and Garfunkel are back and that Lance and Andy's finds are as silly as ever.

Joe H Brilliant, by every measure. TV gold. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Shirley S Watching the re-run on UK-tv play. Detectorists is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly tawdry media industry. Free from graphic sex scenes, political preaching and incongruous political correctness, it's the reality of life as many people know it - and shock horror, the main character, Andy, is in a committed relationship. The show shines a light on the true treasures of life, good friends and the ability to enjoy simple pleasures and being content with what you have. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Pamela R I would give this 10 stars!! The best TV show I have seen for sure. The script, the cast and the music. Everything. I absolutely love it! It gets more entertaining the more you watch it. So different to everything else in the best possible way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member one of the most pleasent series to watch ever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Goated. Low-stakes >>>>>>> So authentic and natural and self-aware. I fucking love this show and even more so that Mackenzie Crook created it. What a legend. The Office produces masterminds. Iroh's grade: A Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is an absolute gem, I have watched all series 3 times and expect I will watch it again. It is perfectly cast, the humour is perfectly placed and the story is marvellous. Mackenzie Crook has hit a home run with this, the ending is brilliant but I would love if they do another series or even a special episode in the future.
