Thank you. I checked the spelling. It was correct.
Sometimes Netflix gives non USA customers other choices.
For example we did get Star Trek Discovery.

Didn’t know that. Are you able to get Acorn TV?
I mentioned this elsewhere but here goes …
For me, the true art of that scene is it suddenly opens the audience up to understand the gold, the ‘treasure’, for these people is all around them, it’s them, the group of friends, partners, family. Hits you right between the eyes.
I think that’s why we pull away in the final scene; they already have their treasure, what then happens is almost incidental.
Pub?
My father watches and showed me a clip last night of the one guy moving a hedgehog (“spherical”) out of the road to a safe spot in the field. So sweet.
I don’t know what Acorn TV is.
Thank you. Acorn TV is available and offering one week free!
It should come with an addiction warning.
Yeah, and it’s only $5/month!
The “Simon” guy from the Dirt Sharks looks more like a “Buck Dharma” to me.
We’ve got two episodes left in S3. This season is every bit as charming as the previous two, if more predictable. I think I’ve figured out the end:
When they do the usual raising of the detector wands prior to starting off, one of them sounds off while it’s still pointed up into the tree.
I’ll be sad to see this lovely show end.
A-a-a-n-d I couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ll sure miss this show.
LOL. Mackensie Crook slightly led you down that path, imo.
I thought the actual ending was perfect - although I do know folks who wouldn’t have understood it without some prompting. Hint: the true treasure wasn’t in the tree.
I like how the third season is bookended by the two aerial shots–in the first episode zooming in on Andy and Lance from the survey photo and in the finale zooming out from above their favorite old oak that held the magpie’s nest.
What a wonderful series.
We had just finished Breaking Bad (about halfway through The Missus and I agreed we hated the show but were committed by that point to finish it) and needed something to counter BB’s intensity. Netflix only gave us 2 seasons of Detectorists, but what a salve! Great, great show.
I just finished Season 2. Netflix doesn’t have Season 3 yet. I’m surprised that someone here couldn’t find it on Netflix.
The episode where Lance and Andy were at Terry’s house and they have Sheila’s lemonade - their facial expressions made me laugh out loud.
This show was mentioned (not by name) in the last week or two on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. The story was about someone using a metal detector who thought they found 50 ancient gold coins. Turns out they were just props “for a British TV show about a couple of metal detector enthusiasts.” Thanks to this thread, I knew what show they were talking about.
That doesn’t add up. In episode 2x06, one character finds an aestel identical to this one. It ends up in a museum. In 2x07, the character then stops finding anything with his detector, decides that he has been “cursed” for taking it from the ground, and eventually uses his savings to buy some gold coins which he puts in a small pouch and shallowly buries. Except that he buried only 10 coins. And why would they abandon the prop coins after the scene was filmed?
It’s not those coins. It’s coins from series 3. There’s a scene with a plough going through a pot of coins and spreading them around. The crew collected most of them, but quite a few got scattered and buried. Why they didn’t check with a metal detector I don’t know!
From the BBC news story: “The props had been used in a sequence showing a plough exposing gold coins” and the producers missed some when they were cleaning up.
