Quintessentially English, gentle comedy with fine acting and good humour. Each character is perfectly portrayed from the main two 'lads' to Lance's money grabbing ex wife. Even the music score is spot on, fitting the rustic scenery perfectly. Makes me feel homesick for blighty.

Best written little sitcom in years. I really would like to see season 4 in the future.

This is such an enjoyable series. Not overboard with pranks, bad language or innuendo. Its humor is based in human nature of the common human being. It is simple in the genius way The Detectorist brings a peaceful and contented smile that doesn't go away. My teen grandson has started to watch it with us.

Like a great wine this has improved with each season, we are now part way through season 3 and I continue to sit waiting each episode with eager anticipation, its entertainment as it used to be with every actor performing to the enth degree. Subtle humour with many enjoyable plot threads and beautiful scenery.
