Not only does Toby Jones offer up the wonder that is Neil Baldwin, we now see him in the Detectorist ....... a delightful gentle comedy written and staring Mackenzie Crook.
Tucked away on Thursday nights on BBC4, this knocks any of the main stream programs into a cocked hat.
Like all good comedy with a bitter sweet edge, when the actors make the characters real, when it makes you 'care' about what happens to the characters.... then you know you are hooked to the series......
The two lead actors, Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook play the parts with such panache, who doesn't know a Lance or Andy in their life.
What makes the program even more wonderful, is that it is set in the world of metal detectoring, and instead of taking the p!ss, the beauty is.......it doesn't .....
what ya got ? ........
matchbox car....
chevrolet corvette....
how in god's name does that get into
the middle of a field in Essex ?
