Mackenzie Crook the Detectorists Christmas Special interview 

In my lifetime of 57 years, the Detectorists is the only series I have watched more than once. My wife says I'm addicted, but I just really love the show, it's unusual in ways that just aren't easily described.

This guy has calmed my life down overnight,,,I thought Dad's Army was the best thing for ages but Detectorists has topped the bill,😎👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Detectorists is the best thing the BBC have done, it is a work of Genius.

I'd love to buy this guy a pint and have a chat with him. Life should be like this guy..just chilled and relaxed.

What a humble man, The Dectorists is a wonderful series.

Best bit of TV this year. Well done Mackenzie Crook. Now I just want another series!

Great subtle comedy show , very laid back . Love it .

This man is a rare talent these days and comes across as such a well balanced, decent and humble man. As a family we also loved his adaption of Worzel Gummidge.

The holiday special was finally released here in the US and what a joy it was to watch. Our entire family loves this collection of quirky, yet entirely relatable characters and it was wonderful to see them together again. Bravo to the entire cast for their work and a deeply heartfelt thanks to Mackenzie for creating something so special.

Mackenzie you created a gem with this series. Just brilliant gentle heartwarming and very very funny. Thanks mate 👏👏👏👏

I was literally left with my mouth agape at the end of the special. Absolutely riveting & beautifully done. Hats off to all involved for giving us such a wonderful wholesome series full of heart & soul. ❤

Mackenzie Crook would make a brilliant Catweazle👍🏻 Hopefully my comment will plant a seed in the human consciousness ❤️

Mackenzie Crook has the knack of looking vulnerably confident ! hahaha Great series !! Thank-you :-)

I’ve only just started watching Detectorists and it’s incredibly enjoyable in a calming and visual way.

I love this TV show and I love metal detecting. I started detecting shortly before the first series of Detectorists. I own the DVD boxset and watch it once a year 😄 Mackenzie Crook is awesome and I'd like to spend a day metal detecting with him

Love it xx from Australia..excited as I just noticed the new Xmas special to watch !

My best quote from the series - Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it lol Brilliant writing

I love this series. Almost know every line if dialog.

We wouldn't miss an episode.

I feel that the special left many things unresolved.

I Love This Show 😀

It's a lovely TV show.

I’ve fancied Mackenzie since the office . He’s so cute

Slightly odd to find the Detectorists on the glitterey One Show - worlds apart. I wonder if our quiet genius Mackenzie Crook was imagining a detectorist wearing s silver trouser suit on his journey home...

he is a genius

We want another series !!

Why didn't he have buildings insurance?

If like me you love this then watch his take on Wurzel Gummidge.

The Detectrorist is uniquely magnificent, but sadly I thought the magic was missing from the Christmas special - and the child actor was appalling!

We binged watched the series since lockdown, I watched it over and over and love it, but I didn't really like the Xmas special, I really, really tried hard but it didn't click with me. I hate saying this

I loved this series right up until this special which I absolutely hated. Absolutely ridiculous and self-righteous bollocks.
