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. 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.

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)It feels like something very special happened in the production of this series and I feel privileged that I caught it on its first showing. 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. 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? Interestingly, the DVD has all six episodes + a Behind The Scenes bonus feature on one disc; the Blu is split between two discs with episodes 1-3 on Disc One and episodes 4-6 + the bonus feature on the other. Acorn could've easily put all the content onto one Blu, but it looks they've decided to aim for the highest possible quality, so hats off to them.

The 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. There is no official release date for Detectorists season 4. For now, all we have is confirmation that Crook is thinking of reviving the series. If there are any further updates, we'll edit this post to include them.

As Crook put it, they're “ actually searching for love and for where they belong and all these other things in their life.” 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. And ignore the fact that it's a supposed US import; it's Region-Free so you don't need a chipped player. 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... 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.I guess I’d say it’s a comedy about ordinary people and their hobbies, but it’s actually turned out to be much more than that. And in hindsight, I can’t really claim that I set out to create this thing that explored so deeply these ordinary lives. Essentially it’s about two friends who just spend their time out in the fields metal detecting. I just totally proved your point there. I can’t really describe it.” Last Updated on November 21, 2021 by Stefanie Hutson Fans of the BBC comedy series Detectorists all seem to share one big complaint – that there isn't more of it. After our hopes were crushed when word came there wouldn't be any new episodes, we might have a new reason to be optimistic. What's Detectorists About? 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. 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.
