Andy and Lance, members of The DMDC, The Danbury Metal Detecting Club are busy searching for The Holy Grail, when they are approached by Student Sophie.
I can understand why this series has such a huge following, this is the first time I've watched it, and I can see that I've been missing out. I really like the two central characters, Andy and Lance, and I can see at this stage that Lance is a bit sad, clearly still in love with his ex, Andy clearly had a passion for his work.
It's very dry, it's very subtle, this first episode seeks to introduce the characters, and set the scenario.
I enjoyed Terry's button presentation, I can understand why everyone was fast asleep, I have a feeling we'll be seeing more from him.
Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook were terrific. I look forward to more of this amiable, charming comedy.
7/10.
