Has anyone else been enjoying the gentle comedy of 'Detectorists' on BBC4?

BBC Four - Detectorists

[Noosner]

Yes! We love it, though aren't up to date with all the episodes yet. Must watch on catch-up.

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

You are in for a treat, just gets better and better!

[Noosner]

Oh, brilliant! Tone-wise it has a lot in common with my fave comedy of all time, Rev (with Tom Hollander). Did you ever see that?

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

That is a something I've been meaning to watch and have never gotten around to. I will make a note! Ta

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

Just looked and it has a few of my favourites in it (inc. the inventor from Balamory)

[Noosner]

Rev is wonderful IMHO - really funny, but dark and painful in places and often ending with a scene that's genuinely moving. How the writers and actors achieve such a wide emotional range in just half an hour is beyond me! Hope you enjoy it if you do decide to give it a go!

[Noosner]

Yes, he is superb, playing a v uptight 2nd-in-command to Tom Hollander's Rev.

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

I'll let you know how I get on with it when I get around to it. Sadly not available on iplayer at the moment.

[WendyC]

Yes have watched the first two and next recorded for when I have half an hour.

I've watched all the episodes, its my sort of program

The Lemonade scene last night was a work of sheer genius. Yes, same here right up my street.

[Martin H]

Okay, I've just caught up on the first three episodes. Quite enjoying it

[daviddevantnhisspiritwife]

Wasn't expecting the colourful language from Lance last night.

Still, what a great show.

I missed it last night and have been banned from watching it without OH present as we both love it. Shame there are only 6 episodes, I think it's brilliant.
