So - this happened! Keep an eye out for me in the Christmas special of the Detectorists!
@aliceroberts can’t wait I love that show
@aliceroberts Go on, give them a hug, they deserve it.
@aliceroberts I cannot wait! One of my favourite comedy series of all time, the quality of the writing is so high. Binge watching Detectorists went a long way towards keeping me sane during the first covid lockdown. Such an innocent and optimistic view of the world, I absolutely adore it!
@bryndavies @aliceroberts Defo enjoyable, but its innocence somewhat tainted by gold fever - wish they'd made a marvellous find that increased wonder & knowledge.
@CableSt @aliceroberts really? I thought they made the distinction between gold diggers and history enthusiasts pretty clear. Especially in the second series.
@bryndavies @aliceroberts I haven't yet seen an episode, but after reading your comments I will definitely have a look. Cheers!
@ThatSleepGuy You absolutely must! Before Christmas, if possible: it's only 2 seasons, and a total of 13 short episodes. It's a gem.
@ClaireCopperman @ThatSleepGuy there's a third season and a previous Christmas special too!
@bryndavies @ThatSleepGuy
Of course there are 3 seasons πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I've just been watching season 3! Thanks for the correction - brain clearly not working today!

@bryndavies @aliceroberts
I had an (unexpectedly, dramatically extended) stay with my dad, 2020-2021 - we binge-watched Detectorists at the recommendation of a sister. Absolutely lovely series.

(Also accompanied by vast quantities of Time Team, which seems appropriate...)

@aliceroberts Christmas highlight for me this year! Congrats on getting the gig.
@aliceroberts That's flipping awesome, does Lance sing a song about you? 😊

@aliceroberts ahh! No way! Love these guys!! And you of course!

Cant wait to see it.

@aliceroberts
Hope you didn’t have to be buried!
@aliceroberts Fabulous! I'm looking forward to it even more now!
@aliceroberts I do like the detectorists. Looking forward to it πŸ‘
@aliceroberts And, they were in character.

@aliceroberts

so... these guys are metal detectors or something?

Just kidding. I love the detectorists! what a great show.

@aliceroberts YES! Flippin' love that show!

@aliceroberts
How incredibly exciting! One of my favourite scientists on one of my all-time favourite shows πŸ₯° It really is a beautiful programme: some much-needed balm for the soul. Tell us: were Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones as lovely as they seem?

@aliceroberts great photo, legend with legends
@aliceroberts
Never watched the detectorists, but after hearing great things about it, watched the very first episode at the start of December...
Finished series 1, and watched series 2 in one evening - a first for us for ANY series.
Now half way through series 3, and looking forward to the 2022 Xmas special.
❀️ the locations.
@aliceroberts can't wait. Favourite TV programme, favourite TV scientist !
@aliceroberts Brilliant program, looking forward to seeing it!

@aliceroberts so excited for this! Repeated viewings of The Detectorists was the soothing background to many a sleepless night after our eldest was born.
@aliceroberts no way! I love that show.
@aliceroberts how exciting. The best xmas present for years!
@aliceroberts woohoo πŸŽ‰πŸ˜Šcan’t wait!

@aliceroberts how to make a perfect series even more perfect.
