Detectorists - Series 1-3 + '15 Xmas Special Box Set [DVD]

Product Information

The Detectorists Movie Special finds the loveable, comedic duo reunited for one final hurrah, full of light drama, gentle wit, whimsical humour and beautiful scenery. Five years on from the events of series three, the Danebury Metal Detecting Club is under threat from developers who want to close the hall... When Lance secures permission to search 10 acres of prime, undetected land, things are looking up – until he breaks protocol and puts the whole future of the DMDC in jeopardy... Detectorists was first broadcast on BBC Four on October 2nd, 2014, followed by series 2 in October 2015. In March 2017, the BBC confirmed the filming of a third and final season which started airing on BBC Four in November 2017. Each series has six episodes, plus one Christmas special in-between series 2 and 3. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. And I'm thrilled (and relieved!) to report that there's no competition - the DVD looks like it has a soft, hazy and fuzzy filter over the image, the Blu is sharper, clearer with obviously superior edge definition and detail. I would love to do some more. I've got a full year next year, but if there's a chance to do a bit more Detectorists I'd love to revisit it, yeah – and I know Toby would be into it as well.

The immensely popular, much-loved series can now be enjoyed time and time again by anyone and everyone as Detectorists Complete Collection arrives on DVD on 30 January 2023, courtesy of Acorn Media International. Detectorists Movie Special will also be available as a single-issue DVD release and on digital, following its broadcast on BBC Two.

While Andy and Lance’s friendship could be described as both pathetic and touching, their goal in life as ‘detectorists’ is to find much more than scraps of metal in the ground. They are looking for something to ignite and improve the drudgery of life, believing that any day, ‘this could be their moment’. Their dream is to unearth a Saxon ship burial, their reality is digging up ring pulls from old Fanta cans. Help seems to be on hand when Lance gets permission to search a 10-acre plot of land suspected of concealing buried treasure, but surprise developments put their rescue bid along with Lance and Andy's friendshipon the line. makeup artist / hair stylist: daily / makeup artist: daily / makeup & hair artist: daily (5 episodes, 2015)

A rival metal detecting club in Danebury includes two members the DMDC refers to as ‘Simon and Garfunkel' due to the striking resemblance. Their club name changes each season.Having landed a lucrative find and a seemingly happy ending in the concluding episode of season 3, fans of the show had thought they had seen the last of the pair. The gentle comedy was a surprise hit, winning a BAFTA award in 2015. In May 2019, a panel of sitcom writers and actors voted it 19th in a Radio Times list of Britain's 20 favourite sitcoms.

Toby Jones has also stated that he would find it “hard to resist” doing another season of Detectorists. Jones penned and starred in his own offbeat comedy, Don't Forget the Driver, in 2019. The series featured Jones as a Bognor Regis-based coast driver whose life began to change after finding a dead body on the beach. Although metal detecting is the central activity in the show, it's really a story about friendship and getting the chance to peer into the lives of a unique – yet totally ordinary – group of hobbyists. Sadly, Don't Forget the Driver was axed by the BBC due to COVID. Jones and co-writer Tim Crouch had written a second season, and they've indicated they're still open to pursuing it with another network. Who knows what they might be called if season 4 happens… Is Detectorists Over? Will There Be a Fourth Season? Will these guys return for a season 4?My boss has recorded Season 3 at work from an HD channel, and though he only has a 55" LED TV whereas I have a 65" OLED, I thought I could see a noticeable improvement. I don't know why but I was captured by the very first trailer that I saw and with much anticipation waited for the series to start...... and I was not disappointed.

Toby Jones's character, Lance Slater, is a forklift driver and proud owner of a yellow Triumph TR7. His ex-wife Maggie (Lucy Benjamin) runs a New Age supplies shop and has a habit of disrupting Lance's life. The Detectorists Christmas special 2022 is released on Boxing Day at 9 pm on BBC Two. It will also be available to watch on iPlayer. See our Christmas TV guide for more shows to enjoy. What's the plot? My faith is restored that there is still at least one person out there who can not only write but direct such an intelligent, unique, and endearing piece of workThe search is jeopardised, however, when the DMDC’s loveably pompous club president, Terry (Gerard Horan), decides to investigate the mystery of the farmer’s missing wife; and events are further complicated by the continued presence of a rival metal-detecting pair who want the turf for themselves. And I'm thrilled (and relieved!) to report that there's no competition - the DVD looks like it has a soft, hazy and fuzzy filter over the image, the Blu is sharper, clearer with obviously superior line definition and detail.
