Detectorists - Complete Series One And Two
In this award-winning comedy series written and directed by Mackenzie Crook, they say they're looking for gold - but what they're really searching for and what they find will surprise even them.
Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones are Andy and Lance, two friends who find common ground as part of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club. Their dream is to uncover the final resting place of King Sexred, a wealthy East Saxon King. But while they search for the past, they must also grapple with the present.
Series One finds Andy trying to keep his head above water while his partner Becky (Rachael Stirling), while Lance tries to win back his ex-wife from the local take-away pizza manager. Both of them face an invasion of their turf by rival detectorists the Antiquisearchers.
Series Two takes place a year down the road from where we last left Andy and Lance, both of whom are still tripping over emotional molehills in search of the great 'find'; and the DMDC are on a mission to track down a long-lost WW2 bomber - followed closely by 'Simon and Garfunkel.'
There may be new loves, new challenges and enemies old and new, but always there is the vision, always there is the dream of something that is waiting not too deep beneath the soil: something that will inspire the legendary Gold Dance.
First released: Monday 7th December 2015
