"Oh bloody hell I didn't know - iPlayer it is then 
I'm amazed they don't promote it more  "
Yeah I only found it by recommendation, so bought the DVDs - didn't even know they were doing another series.
Is gentle and understated comedy at it's finest |

It's alot like being on here I suppose,... there's alot of swinging involved, your right arm gets a good work out and the chances are you'll never find a pot of gold!!
Love the theme tune though and I might dig out the old guitar to see if I can learn it one day!. |

"Is it possible to buy the theme tune ?
Yep, Johnny Flynn sings it.
Iv looked online but cant see it, will look again  "
It's on ITunes & Amazon etc. If you can't find it, let me know & I'll send the link |

One of the most underrated TV comedies of recent times, so chuffed when I saw your thread as I didn't know another series was on the cards. I generally have certain programmes that I save for the Friday night, glass of wine relaxation time...Detectorists now takes that slot (previously it was 8/10 cats do countdown or The Last Leg) |

Finally sat down with a nice glass of red and caught up with a few old friends.
Beautiful location, acted and written. The music is sublime and the Magpie bit, magical! Too many out there believe themselves to be ‘artists’ and if art creates an emotional response then this perfectly encapsulates art perfectly. Sad to here only another 5 episodes but I will cherish each and everyone. |

"Another finely observed episode - the hypnotist bit was superbly written!!
His girlfriend is weirdly sexy ."
Only just seen this but agree with you - definitely something about her
A bit of a gentle episode tonight although did laugh at the car chase bit |

It has one major problem!
It is only 30 minutes per episode 
We love it. It is just class and a real surprise that is relegated to BBC4.
(Another surprise find on netflix was an old BBC3 comedy ...Bluestone42. The BBC have a habit of hiding these little beauties away) |

"New series started earlier -
It's one of those underrated feel good comedy programs that always seems wasted tucked away on BBC4"
Been watching it since it came out, been a fan Mackenzie Crook since the office days and had to watch it when I saw it advertised it's quality. Also good is obviously red dwarfs new series another series called zapped on Dave it's also in its second series now, people just do nothing, Alan partridge new stuff, the trip, there's a few good ongoing series to my knowledge but it's like gold mining in a sewer these days |

Zapped has that mouthy bloke from the inbetweeners in it, talking of him he's in another old BBC series called Orrible which is also worth a watch. Off the topic of comedy, Gotham is pretty good if your into crime drama an all that superhero guff |

Brilliant series! Not shouty and screamy, just nicely paced and observed. Love those fleeting nature shots interspersed throughout. Odds on them finding the Magpie's nest by the end of the series? |

I like to think of it as a younger persons Last Of The Summer Wine only not quite so naff!!
I actually hope they don't find the Maggie's nest as I quite like the "so near and yet so far" element that has run throughout all the series' - unless of course they are not planning on further series after this one in which case it would be a fitting end
Another good episode last night, although I missed there not being a meeting with the others attended as that usually provides some gems |

I might be wrong but i seem to recall reading that there are no solid plans for a further series, explained in terms of the characters can't go on "finding nothing' or it will get staid and boring. Hope that's not the case, tho!

Me too - although if they do have them "find something" I hope they leave it at that - Fools And Horses was never the same after they bought it back once they'd finally become millionaires and I suspect the same would happen with Detectorists sad though I'd be to see it no more. |

"What a lovely last ever episode and a fitting way to finish it - shan't say more for fear of spoilers but thought they did the ending just right "
It was wonderful. |
