Started watching "Detectorists" the other day.

If you're into offbeat British humor, you might enjoy this series. Very low keyed but very well written and acted. It stars Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones. The first season is on Hoopla. Also on Freevee.

Quirky characters and gentle Brit-witt…
Just what the doctor ordered to decompress.

Who would have thought a tv series featuring a couple of nerdy guys who spend their free time working the fields with their metal detectors could be funny?!?!

It’s such a quirky and delightful little show. Was sad to see it end.

It's so quirky and you get to think these are real people.

Funny thing is, when we first saw Becky, I thought: wow she sure looks like a young Diana Ring.
Only to discover later she's Diana Rigg's daughter!
