Detectorists! Boxing Day, 9 pm, BBC2.

Hadn’t fancied this before but watched the Boxing Day programme and absolutely loved it. Hope there’ll be more.

I watched it on iPlayer. Loved it. There is still gold among the dross at the BBC. I know he’s always looked gaunt, but I thought Mackenzie Crook looked ill.

I was shocked tbh at how he now looks.
He seemed fine though, just extra thin and lined. Toby Jones doesn’t seem to age on the other hand.
Me and DP really enjoyed it, wish they would do another series.

Just 'discovered' this! Oh the scenery! I love Suffolk countryside. Takes me right back.

Love the gentle humour too.

Thanks Pitt, I didn’t know that. I have been re-running the last series which I had missed and he didn’t look so haggard.

He had treatment for a hormone deficiency as a child which has probably contributed to him looking older than his 51 years.
Also he's probably knackered after the last couple of years just like the rest of us.

Anyone watched it? That ending was amazing. And some very funny bits - "Sheila, you're breaking my heart! " Loved it.

Michael Wood ❣

Oh! I looked him up the other day because we hadn't seen him for a while.
Thanks MayBee

Loved it, so looking forward to the special!

Whooopey do dah!
Will def be watching that.Weird really as am more a GOT type girl but there’s something so nice about Detectorists you just have to sit there with a smile

And Alice Roberts has a cameo in it!

Detectorists makes me feel happy.

I love Detectorists.
I heard that they had to find a new village hall as the original had been replaced with a new building.

I love Detectorists too. I listened to an Ian Hislop podcast about the unification of England and he talked about the programme a lot ( along with chatting to Bernard Cornwall and (sigh) Michael Wood). He was saying how much information can be found from old coins. I assume the legend that is Simon Farnaby will be in it, too. And there’s a Ghosts Christmas special, too.

I love Detectorists too, looking forward to the Christmas Special. Saw an advert for it.

I must remember to record that. I have family here on Boxing Day, so will miss it as it is broadcast, but I love Detectorists - thanks for the heads up.

Love, love, love Detectorists!
