Detectorists: Episode 1 (2014)
Season 1, Episode 1
6/10
Episode 1
4 January 2023
After returning for a Christmas special. It was good to revisit this genteel comedy show.

It is really a story about friendship between Lance (Toby Jones) and Andy (Mackenzie Crook.) Two detectorists who are members of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club.

In this episode the club gets a new member, Sophie a history student at university.

Like a lot of detectorists, Lance and Andy are searching for the big one. The holy grail which might be the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant rather then some Saxon treasure.

Maybe getting permission from a farmer to search his land might lead to a big find.

The first episode is really about introducing the characters, especially Lance's complex relationship with his ex wife who left him for her new lover. It looks like Lance is wasting money on those scented candles.
