I'll see if it's available on any of the services I have and check it out...
(I've seen Toby Jones in a number of things, but never in a comedy role; mostly as some kind of evil/mad scientist...)

It's free on Amazon Prime. If you don't have that service I'll happily send you my login.

I just binged both seasons, they're short and episodes are only 28-29 minutes. It's a lovely show and I'm happy to report a third & final season will be shown later this year!
Thanks for that share, Gob!

Lovely review of the start of season 3 here...
That’s the thing with Detectorists: you might not be literally rolling on the floor laughing, but it’s so beautifully written and performed – sparse, droll, understated and believable.

Have you not seen this Jim? If not, it's worth a watch...
