      It's really excellent but I'm pretty sure the BBC showed an edited version of this at 1h 15m per episode. After missing a couple I got them through other means and watched the remaining episodes all 1h 45m.

      The version sold to the international market is 60 x 10, I'll guess the stuff we didn't get is focused on the domestic front which is a pity if so.

      Forgot to say League of Gentleman is running from the start on BBC Four after Detectorists. It'll be back for three new episodes on BBC Two.

      Detectorists.
      Sublime.
      The only show I know where 30 minutes seems to fly by in five.

      Nice touch to go back through the ages and of course see just how close they were stood to a treasure trove. The detectorist meeting was hilarious.

      Thank you all for drawing my attention to Detectorists. I had never heard of it :o
      Currently watching Season 1 on Netflix and enjoying it thoroughly. Great music, too.

      Yep.. if anything, it's drawn my attention to the brilliant Johnny Flynn - who sings the theme tune.

      He appeared in brief cameo in an episode singing the theme tune, and is actually the lead actor in excellent Channel 4 / Netflix series "Love Sick" (or "Scrotal Recall" depending on whether you saw it on Channel 4).

      Bloody talented lad!

      Not as good last night, a lack of good quips and observations. Had a bit of a soap opera plot too with his not quite an ex turning up and the new girlfriend stuff.

      That was the highlight :D - a nice touch I thought, esp as she was playing Andy's role in the scene, on the other side of a field.

      Nate

      Watching it, could be very good, but the scene where a long scrapped bus bursts into flames with the detective under it stretches credibility waaaay beyond breaking point.

      Here's the Witnesses thread:

      I really enjoyed the first two episodes. I'm looking forward to the next instalments.

      BBC4 are seeing in the New Year with an omnibus repeat of 6 episodes of Detectorists starting at 10pm Sunday 31st December.

      Hopefully this is series 3 and I'll catch the bit I missed.

      Same here.
      Seeing in the new year watching "Detectorists"? That would be different!

      Thanks to posters on this thread for bringing the programme to my attention. Really enjoying it. Looking forward to getting my mitts on series 1 and 2 soon.
      One critical comment: Someone as meticulous as Lance would never tolerate his TR7 running on three cyls or a blowing exhaust.
      I want to see last night's drone returning to earth in slow-motion. Was it CGI?

      Just watched last night's episode of Detectorists. I loved the nod to the scene when the Amish build the barn in Witness. The only thing missing was Harrison Ford ;)

      BBC4 is superb. Possibly the greatest channel in TV anywhere. But in today's environment we are lucky if it's just left alone to broadcast away from 7pm to the small hours.
