Detectorists on Breakfast talking about the special 22 Dec 2022 

Underrated*?

@@dvdv8197 No i think he meant understated as in "presented or expressed in a subtle and effective way" talking about his character rather than how he is perceived

@@alnicholson4344 hmmm I would never use that for a person, but I guess if it's for his character...

The feeling I get from Show is memories of childhood, countryside and of course it has me pondering the history of our land.

​@@dvdv8197Reddit's that way 👉

What’s your favourite colour

I used to smoke pot with TJ as a teenager!

McKenzie a humble genius, interviewers arrogant cowboys. Just about sums it up!

Absolutely! They were patience personified :)

That is possibly the worst interview I have ever seen. Toby Jones looked so embarrassed. Anodyne, trite questions and constant interruptions.

@@seankayll9017 every interview on Breakfast is like this.

Fortunately Toby Jones and McKenzie Crook rose above the interviewers and demonstrated their acting and writing genius respectively.

Absolutely inane questions 😡

She's arrogant and pompous.

Well said..

Glad it’s not just me then. These two are hopeless as interviewers!

Cringeworthy interviewers - “Is that your own hat?”

Dreadful interviewing these pair don't have a clue

"did you wash the hat?"

We need a 4th series!!

I just recently binged the 3 series. It is so good.

What and you didn't watch gone fishing chichis basically a mirror picture .Same vibe ,same ease ,gentle and drifting ,

Never mind, when the clueless Labour loons come to power, you'll have an even more ludicrous government - though when they balls everything up we'll not hear a whimper of complaint from the likes of you - and I say this as someone who is totally apolitical, so railing up against the Tories in any reply will fall on stoney ground.

@@joeblack8915 you must have missed the last 12 years debacle

Prob ably won;t be any, but I will watch the series again. It was a tonic!

Like you say there were lots of appealing characters.Simon & Garfunkel were an amusing pair and the other club members had scope for development so why not do more episodes.Sometimes it's nice to watch something with no horrible people in it,even S & G had me interested in their antics.

Go carefully my friend. All good wishes from the UK

You have excellent taste. Hope you are OK

We hope your land will soon be as peaceful as Danebury. Take care, from all your many friends in the United Kingdom. Slava Ukraini!❤

@@pietersanders7761 Glory to Heroes 🇺🇦

I was glad ''Simon and Garfunkel' reappeared. Great counter 'baddies' ,such a laugh.

We love this show here in Vermont (I got my wife a Danebury Metal Detectorists Club T-shirt for Christmas). The real question is: When will we here in the States (finally!) to see the new special?? (E.h. It’s not yet available on Acorn.)

Their loss!

IKWYM........no orange people or fish lips.........thank goodness

Same here, usually the clowns who watch Britains got talent or some other worthless garbage!

It's utterly charming.

That is part of the appeal for many people. The humour is subtle and the charm is in the small details, the strong casting of all the characters and the simple pleasure of being set in the British countryside. It won't appeal to too many of the masses who enjoy such intellectual gems as 'Love Island' and 'I'm a Celebrity'.

"What yer got!?" 🙂 And I hope you pay homage at the end of a session with: "Pub?" "Go on then!"

👍🏽👏🏼

@@westaussie965 👌

That’s why they had to film it all in Bolivia. Derrr

It’s made now and set now. Englishness, countryside, traditions and culture all live on and are all shown in this wonderful series, just as they continue in real life

In what way? It’s perfectly possible to enjoy the English countryside (or that of any nation) without jingoistic bigotry and English exceptionalism. I’m afraid there’s an unpleasant undertone to your observation.

So have I and everyone I recommend it to love it also.

Umm well there is gone fishing

@Karl Gone Fishing is good but it doesn't have the same basic charm as Detectorists. I'm a macro photography and I see myself in what the Detectorists portray. Sitting in silence in fields, it's a beautiful way to spend your free time. Probably why I'm not as miserable as all the people complaining about the hosts.

@@karl9411 I've adored Detectorists since it began and have now rewatched it many time... And everyone who knows me and knows how I love it always recommends Gone Fishing to me... But I can't understand why they do. I've watched the odd episode, and not that there's anything to dislike, but I don't get any of the feelings I love so much form Detectorists from it, so just to say I don't understand why it is everyone (even down to BBC player!) recommends it as if I would feel it at all similarly!!?! I mean, it's fine, but not at all what Detectorists is, to me at least.

@@myelixir umm can’t agree , they are very similar indeed apart from the reality of Gone Fishing as opposed to the fictional Detectorists . In many ways GF hits home even harder during the tender moments.

@@karl9411 I’m not sure if I can put it into words, but although Detectorists is peaceful and has everyday interactions that can be really moving moments in themselves, the profound poignancy from it for me I think comes from the fact that the way detecting is told overall in the story connects us both to The Earth and to All Time and All People and All Living Things and even All Things! I feel it deep in my being, as though it is connecting to something that is part of who we are as humans. Something people perhaps understood long ago (about how we came from The Earth and are The Earth) in a way we can’t feel often in our current, 2023 days or in any of our lifetimes entire because most of us are quite disconnected to The Earth. Yet deep within us, we know it is true and so you can feel it… at a level beyond words which is why it is almost impossible for me at least to describe even remotely satisfactorily. It makes me feel connected to all humans who ever existed and all who will ever exist and to The Earth and The Birds and The Tress and The Insects. I mean, as you can see, it is hard to describe it. But it is something that very much comes from the narrative of a made-up-story, hewn to have this purpose. For me, this feeling underlies the entirety of Detectorists and is what lies beneath the surface of the minutiae of everyday interactions in the show, making their humanity all the more profound and poignant too. And so of course I don’t feel this feeling as part of something like Gone Fishing, which literally isn’t a created story at all. Or, maybe I just HATE REALITY and so anything that is real and therefore feels too close to real life, I don't like that it jars me into the terror of my real life rather than being escapism for me too? hahaha!?! Only me, obviously!

And Johnny Flynn's lovely music

and the music I have to add. Never a fan of that folky sound, but I am now, because of this very wholesomely, charming series. I hope we get another.

Because she ticks all the BBC 's Woke boxes. Just another entitled, politically correct, easily offended person of colour fulfilling modern era Aunty Beeb's diversity quota . I can't stand the woman.

How she was ever employed is quite frankly astounding!

Bigots

She ticks the diversity box ofcourse!!!!!

I don’t understand, what do you mean ? I think she is great 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed.

NM is so rude - she comes across as standoffish and slightly bored

@@duffyellie BBC shills the pair of them, bought and paid for imho.

You call being discussed on BBC News 'underrated'??

@@geofftayloruk don’t be obtuse 😉 Underrated by the masses given it’s brilliance? certainly. Not really the point of the comment was it.

I'd love to just pick her up with those ears and move her to one side .

Umm well there is gone fishing

Just in case you aren’t aware there was an earlier special between series 2 and 3.

Same with me. Having only ever seen part of one episode, I just watched all the episodes in the last couple of weeks, followed by the one off Christmas episode (my least favourite). Well written, beautifully filmed and with some great characters, the half hour episodes seemed to pass all too quickly.

I want a yellow Triumph TR7.

Us too. Watched all 3 series since last week. Where did you find the Christmas special? I can’t find it anywhere! 😩

I don't think it's weird at all, I just hope you have all 3 verses! :)

You should check out the rest of Johnny Flynn's work, quite an underrated gem, quite like the Detectorists actually.

How can one find the christmas special?

Andy: perb? Lance: yerr, woy nert

it's on iPlayer

The same!

There was another special between series 2 and 3.

What rot you speak! Loads of really entertaining informative classy stuff on the bbc. So much better than crappy vulgar Netflix and Amazon.

@@nancyblackett8777 its just a pity that everything they produce needs to have a black disabled lesbian in an insignificant role to tick the boxes.
