Detectorists

I shouldn't say this, but I was really happy to see this one return for another series. I think Mackenzie Crook does a brilliant job with this.....writing it, directing it and co-starring in it along with a great cast. This is about as far away from a Hollywood comedy as anyone could possibly get. The steady gentle rhythm to this just draws me in much like The Cafe and Jam & Jerusalem (for example) did. The Cafe was dropped after the second series and J&J after the third, but hopefully Detectorists will stick around for as long as Mackenzie Crook wants it to. The fact that they were given the opportunity to do a Christmas special last night is a good sign, although it had little to do with Christmas.
