That brilliant programme Detectorists is back for its third series on Wednesday BBC4.
Just a heads up for all the fans on here.
Cheers,
Neil.
Thanks
Thank you, that's good news. I thought that the first two series were excellent.
Looking forward to it!
Great, thanks. Very enjoyable show - gentle good humoured comedy.
Thanks for good info. Brilliant program!
Thanks for the heads up. Really enjoyed the first two series.

Excellent!
I have the fist two series and Christmas special on DVD - looking forward to this one.
Love it...and since metal detecting has become my go to hobby,i've spotted so many parallels with my own life its become worrying
Such a cleverly written bitter, sweet comedy.
I wonder if they'll ever get that gold hoard that they always just manage to miss.....
Me too. We’ve even started a detectorists club in the village and a pre-requisite of membership is having watched series one and two!Originally Posted by thorpey69

Excellent!
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Awesome, been looking forward to the 3rd series for ages.
Thank you, now on series record :)
Just heard and put it on series link.
The first two series were wonderful.
Such a well made comedy, thanks for heads up

Great stuff. Even my wife likes it.

Thanks for the heads up, may have missed it otherwise and loved the first two

Are you Andy or Lance?
My nephew is into detecting in a big way and has been for years. He's found all manner of historical stuff.

On a slightly sad note it has been said that this series will be the last.
Cheers,

That must be a mark of quality, surely.
Thanks for flagging this up, watched series 1+2 and the Christmas special yesterday, heart warming program, recorder now set for series 3.
Now how do I get started, tips appreciated.

Yep, Loved this from day one. I hope the 3rd series retains the same charm and humour.
Please be good.
Brilliant thanks! I'd thought it had ended on 2 series.
I really enjoyed it.
Youtube is pretty good. I bought a Garrett 400i mid range detector and it’s been good so far. I would also recommend joining a club or at least find a friend you can go with and also find somewhere you can legally go.
I am lucky as there are 3 or 4 in my village who were keen to give it a try after watching Detectorists. Been 3 times and already found a (possibly mediaeval) axe head and what looks like the remains of a Roman lead smelting operation.
Neilc I'm an Andy by name anyway...Detecting is a great hobby for anyone who's thinking of giving it a try,the hardest part is getting permissions..I started with a Garrett Ace300i with pro pointer,now upgraded to a XP Deus with MI6 pointer,which is all wireless and an amazing piece of kit.
Christmas special? Don't think i've seen that, only S1&2. It doesn't seem to be on kodi, need to hunt it out before tomorrow then i think

The Christmas special is sometimes referred to as ''series 2 episode 7''.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
I was too tired to watch episode 1 last night but caught it on iplayer this afternoon.
Superb - it just gets better.
Deep penetration. 😂
Brilliant so far!
I liked the running joke with Varde.
It's a beautifully done program, with a refreshingly gentle tone.
That is sublimely apt.
Only just come to this and really like it so I binge watched Series 1. It's got that 'Last Of The Summer Wine' easy going innocence to it so I was gob smacked when (think it was) Toby Jones's character dropped the 'c-bomb'. I'm not upset or anything but it seemed very unusual for such a 'middle of the road' programme to go that far with the language. Inclusion of the c word also has commercial implications and would certainly bump it up an age rating for a dvd release (assuming they still release physical media still).
As a fellow metal detectorist you would be surprised how lifelike a lot of the characters are, some of the people you meet at rallies/digs and what goes on is just comical to say the least..
I saw this thread and was hoping for a new Christmas Special which I might have missed coming out.
Oh well, let's hope for a series 3. Such a terrific programme - genuinely a masterpiece.
I can totally believe it.
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Superb, great comedy

Saw the op and was delighted; then noticed the date .... hopefully we will get more ...
Great observational comedy that translates to many men and their hobbies.
I will need another Complete Series box set then :)
Like many it would appear i came to the thread hoping for good news, especially as I saw this a couple of days ago

I'd hoped for something concrete, even if not for this Christmas.
If nothing else, surely filming something where the actors are 30m apart from each other in a field should be easy within COVID restrictions...
I've just binge watched all three series again, and the previous Christmas special. They are all currently available on iPlayer. Would be great if they made more.

Brilliant! Thanks for info.
Great comedy

Join a metal detecting club, some the antics on this series become quite real and sometimes real life is more funny than comedy!
I dont know what it is but detecting attracts strange people - like me!

One of my favourite comedies. I particularly like the subtle, inside jokes, such as how Andy’s part time jobs always seem to mirror his hobby: headphones on, pushing something along the ground.
