'Detectorists: Complete Collection' DVD Review

Andy (Mackenzie Crook) and Lance (Toby Jones) star as two misfits who love to search the English countryside searching for lost treasure. Now these two men don’t comb the countryside on their hands and knees. They use metal detectors and listen for that sound that means wealth and fortune. Funny thing is these two gentlemen find scraps mostly and stay poor.
Now, Andy does have a girlfriend but it’s hard for him to keep the relationship going. You see Becky (Rachael Stirling) is easy to get along with but her mother (Diana Rigg) sets the standards high and it’s hard for Andy to live up to her expectations.

Lance on the other hand goes from date to another. He is a romantic at heart but doesn’t seem to get it together with anyone for a period of time. There could be love on the horizon for him but you’d have to watch the show to find out who.There hobby of metal detecting doesn’t make them rich but it does get them out of the house and forces them to interact with others. You see these without their hobby probably would never get out of the house. So this hobby does good for these two gentlemen. Now I didn’t say that all is perfect.

They have to deal with rival hobby enthusiasts who want to ruin the fun. They have to deal with people who will double cross them at the drop of the hat. The worst of their problems is that their areas to look for treasure are being developed for housing and jobs. So there is usually no treasure. There is usually no true love in their lives. It’s just these two guys can make you laugh and laugh with the shenanigans that goes on each and every day.

Acorn TV is bringing this wonderful show to DVD on November 13th, 2018. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are exquisite. You really should pick this one up for that personal library. So don’t waste any time and pick this up for that special person for the holidays or just get it for yourself.
