Love the quirky Detectorists show on Netflix
Has such a brilliant soothing flow to it. And crazy funny wit. Detectorists are people with metal detectors. But it works

I can't remember where I saw it now, maybe at the end of season 3??, but there is a short piece on 'the making of' that is about how he came up with the idea for the series and when he wanted to do the third season how everyone was excited to come back because they love him and working with him.
I remember in the first season, I kept looking at Andy's wife, thinking she reminded me of someone. It finally came to me that she looks like Diana Rigg. For good reason, she is the daughter of DR. She goes by the last name of Stirling but I think the resemblance is obvious. I love seeing her play with her mother.
I haven't heard anything about another season but I hope they will come up with one.
All 3 seasons, the 'Christmas Special', behind the scenes and bonus bits are on Acorn TV. I subscribe to it (cheap--$4.99/month) but always forget about it as I usually go to Netflix. But there are some of the good British series there, old and newer.
