Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones shine in the third and final series of this beautifully written and performed slice of life.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 9th November 2017TV preview: Detectorists, BBC4
Writer, director and star Mackenzie Crook has said that this is the last series of Detectorists. If that's the case it will be a great shame.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 8th November 2017Detectorists series 3 review
For, as so much of this delightful series, while it seems like nothing much is happening, there's such a lot beneath the surface, hidden from view. What a perfect metaphor metal detecting turns out to be.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 8th November 2017Detectorists, BBC4, review
Metalhead comedy full of tender moments.
Bernadette McNulty, i Newspaper, 8th November 2017Detectorists returns to unearth more comic gold: review
It's almost compulsory in Detectorists reviews to say the show unearthed comic gold. Indeed it did. If you're yet to join the DMDC (Danebury Metal Detecting Club), treat yourself. Treasures await.

What's On Stage, 13th September 2017Detectorists Series 3 confirmed
BBC Four has confirmed a third series of Detectorists, the sitcom about a group of treasure hunters written by and starring Mackenzie Crook.
British Comedy Guide, 31st March 2017A crack squad of British actors are on parade in this loving homage to the cherished TV sitcom. Toby Jones is the pompous Captain Mainwaring, Bill Nighy the insouciant Sergeant Wilson and Michael Gambon is Private Godfrey, while Catherine Zeta-Jones brings some unlikely glamour to wartime Walmington-on-Sea. Hamish McColl's screenplay has its moments, but can't quite access the lovely, characterful warmth of TV series writers David Croft and the recently deceased Jimmy Perry.
