It’s genuinely so gorgeous that it’s made me cry this evening. I can totally see links with the new Worzel Gummidge, which was adorable telly. So evocative of hazy, lazy summer* days. Mackenzie Crook is a genius/sweetheart.
Me too. What are you watching it on Pip? I know I can buy it on Amazon Prime but I'm wondering if you might be watching it free somewhere.
I love the tree. I love that the main character, really, is the landscape, and all its quiet secrets. I love that in the scripts, they specify what sort of bird it is that can be heard. The Dig made me feel similarly but Detectorists manages to stir up all that AND be funny.
Plus I have a weird crush on Mackenzie Crook in it.
I loved TD, too. I think I watched it on a trial of Britbox (free).
I don't know if it was the title, or just the concept of it being about a couple of blokes with a metal detector, but I couldn't bring myself to watch it on live TV or catchup, but when I got round to watching I absolutely loved it.
