Excellent news.

Get that Saxon burial ship found!

[Morningside]

Wonderful news. At last some comedy worth waiting for.

[The jiffle king]

This is great news and cannot wait for it to appear

[MrOnTheRopes]

Excellent news!

Thanks, Mr Changer of the gears

Thanks for letting us know. I'm looking forward to series 3 now.

With this and the Brian Pern series over the last few years, the BBC has shown how it can still make (or commission) quality comedy: gentle, character-driven and observational humour in the case of Detectorists.

Finished watching this now having managed to track down the Christmas special. Thoroughly enjoyed it and really glad to hear that another series is on the way

Given that Mackenzie Crook has obviously got quite a talent for writing this sort of stuff I'm really surprised that it's the only thing he has done.

I get the feeling he took his time over this because he wanted to try and be respectful to the hobby whilst obviously still making it humorous.

Hopefully in time he will develop other ideas etc

I hope Larry Bishop is in the 3rd series, great character and one of my favourites.

"Hello there!!"

Always excited to see this thread come back to the top, but then disappointed that it isn't because a new series has been announced :-(

Watching tonights (having only caught this since it's been on again), what was that he found in the field? I presume i've missed something having only seen a couple of episodes?

Opening scene of S2 is some medieval knights attacking a church and the priest burying his stuff by a standing stone. The artefact seems to be based on the Alfred Jewel which is thought to be the head of a pointer used for keeping your page in a bible.
