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.

Nov 22, 2024 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Beautifully written, acted, and with a consoling rhythm all its own, the series reminds you that the small joys of life have a profound impact on everything. May 18, 2020 Full Review Graeme Blundell The Australian [Mackenzie] Crook and his talented ensemble cast pull it off with the most beguiling sense of integrity and authenticity. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Kevin Heaney PopMatters Perrin’s mordant monologues, perfectly delivered by a tightly wound Leonard Rossiter, are its hallmark and are doubtless committed to memory by many a thwarted commuter. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ If you haven't found Detectorists on Netflix or Acorn TV yet, then you are missing out on one of the best sitcoms of all time I reckon. Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Lynden Barber Limelight Besides being often very funny, it somehow also manages to weave in such poetic themes as the rhythms and history of the British land over centuries of settlement...
