This has to be one of my favourite theme songs, from a very good show, #TheDetectorists
One of the best self-referential scenes was when there was a talent contest and #JohnnyFlynn comes on and sings this song (and notably is not well receivedπ)

A fun fact, that is almost on topic.
One of Diana Rigg's last roles was in the series The Detectorists (a great series, worthy of a rainy Sunday watch).
Diana Rigg played the mother to actress Rachael Sterling, who is Diana Rigg's actual daughter. What a great opportunity to collaborate.
Watching the Detectorists and laughed out loud when Lance said "so once again, the venerable Bede is talking out of his arsehole"
No Detectorists were involved in this discovery but watching the show really makes you appreciate these stories and the joy of the people involved in them

The Detectorists is an absolute delight, just finished the first season. Gentle and warm and inoffensively English in a pleasantly distracting way
Had the pleasure of catching all three seasons of The Detectorists for the first time on Netflix over the last few days. Just magic.
