Review by Library Journal Review

This quirky, award-winning British miniseries is about two friends whose hobby is metal detecting. If that sounds absolutely mind-numbing as a concept for your average situation comedy, let's say that it's all in the execution. Treasure hunters Andy (director Crook, who also writes the series) and Lance (Toby Jones) scour northern Essex for long-buried Saxon treasure. When the two aren't searching the fields of fictional Danbury, they are plodding through un-demanding jobs and trying to maintain their relationships with their female friends-Andy's long-suffering girlfriend and Lance's manipulative but still loved ex-wife. Lance and Andy occasionally fall out, but their friendship sustains both of them as they lurch through life. Verdict While not laugh-out-loud funny, this charming modern-day series will elicit a lot of smiles as it entertains. The characters are believable in spite of (or because of) their many flaws. Recommended for public library collections for its offbeat humor.-Joan Greenberg, Warminster, PA © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
