They’re not metal detectors, they’re metal detectorists!
Andy and Lance are friends who share a passion for metal detecting. Although they act like an old married couple, griping at each other, there is a true bond between the two, and they have a common dream: finding a priceless collection of items that would cement their place in detecting history. Greed, betrayal and redemption are among the emotions experienced as Andy and Lance, along with their eccentric friends in the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, go in search of the big find that has eluded them to this point.
“Beautifully acted and written, Detectorists is a rare treasure, gold that does not glister.” – Times (UK)
“We’re talking nerds, and nerdy male friendship, midlife crises, all that. But it’s sharp, nicely observed, good to look at, with lovely understated performances from Crook and Toby Jones.” – Guardian
“Detectorists, is a triumph of beautiful writing and characters with real depth and humanity to them.” – Stuff.co.nz
