About this deal

I remember it from a previous interview for a magazine feature on up-and-coming British actors in which, I remind him, he shared a double-page spread with Tom Hardy. The fact that Sheila is usually such a comedic character makes it all the more poignant and piercing. How many non-UK viewers understand, say, the conversation about the accepted protocol when correctly answering a starter for 10 on University Challenge?

During another of those interminable on-set waits, Crook made his pitch: “We were just sitting there, and he’s very shy, and he went, ‘I hope you don’t mind, I’ve written this thing with you in mind, and I know that’s a nightmare, when someone says they’ve written something, and I don’t want you to feel under any obligation or anything …’ Anyway, he sent me three pages of this amazing dialogue. The series details the five-year manhunt for the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, commonly referred to as the Yorkshire Ripper. Crook and co-star Toby Jones are at the centre of most of the storylines as friends Andy and Lance, and are completely relatable in their roles, with their weaknesses fully on display for all to see and care about, but, as so often with the very best comedy series, the cast of supporting characters is just as important. The main filming location for the series and Christmas specials is Framlingham, a small market town in Suffolk. Series one and two both ended in clever and memorable ways: bittersweet and punch-the-air respectively.The series is produced by Matt Sandford, series produced by Sarah Lewis and co-produced by Alison Matthews. Filming took place in Yorkshire in June and July 2022, with filming locations including Wortley, Leeds, [6] Dewsbury, York and a residential property on Langford Lane in Burley-in-Wharfedale, near Ilkley. This is a comparatively vulgar raking of the same ground, and the rift the big news causes between the pair is, by Detectorists standards, as unbalancing and alien as it would be if Crook packed the whole cast off to Torremolinos. One of the crew spotted a pure white fallow deer and, as we filmed, it turned and started heading up the field towards us. Before the talk, Lance has offered to “knock out a jalfrezi” for himself and Andy, and we catch him preparing the meal with the radio blasting, delivering the chorus of It’s Raining Men in the manner of someone who predicted that exactly these weather conditions would occur.

I don't want to make any sort of big, dramatic announcement that 'never again', but I can't see myself going back to it. Ladwa said: “Other then that, I will hopefully find myself on a field with all the Detectorists actors again. Series 3 ended with Andy (Crook) and Lance (Jones) seemingly finding both their literal and allegorical gold. He has also starred in two audio plays, Radioman opposite Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and season two of the Prix Europa Award-winning The System.

The affection expressed for Detectorists over the years has been incredible and I hope fans of the show will enjoy this new, extended episode. Reviewing the opening episode for The Guardian, Sam Wollaston said: "Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones shine in the third and final series of this beautifully written and performed slice of life.

‘People told us what a consolation it was’ – Toby Jones on

While Andy and Lance’s friendship could be described as both pathetic and touching, their goal in life as ‘detectorists’ is to find much more than scraps of metal in the ground. There's club president Terry Seymour, probably one of the leading experts on the buttons of North West Essex. But when a mysterious relic is unearthed, he breaks protocol, threatening his friendship with Andy and the future of the DMDC. There is even a fanzine Waiting For You, named after a lyric from the haunting theme song by Johnny Flynn.Toby Jones as Lance Stater, a forklift truck driver for a vegetable wholesaler, and amateur musician.

Andy installs a bat box in the tree and rings a bat helpline, which turns out to be run by "Simon and Garfunkel". The lives of two eccentric metal detectorists, who spend their days plodding along ploughed tracks and open fields, hoping to disturb the tedium by unearthing the fortune of a lifetime. She also says: "We have come to expect virulent misogyny and racism to be on show in dramas set in earlier decades and involving the police – or any other unwieldy, male-dominated institution – but The Long Shadow succeeds in embedding it more quietly but firmly.

Ever since his screen debut as “second valet” in Sally Potter’s Orlando 30 years ago, he has been in continuous demand: for spectacular Hollywood blockbusters, tiny independent art films and everything in between. What you want," says Lance, "is a humble smile and a nod to your teammates as if to say 'I know you guys knew that one too'. Baby Stan has arrived, Andy has qualified as an archaeologist but has no work, and Becky is off with Gay Martin, talking about VSO. Whilst out detecting Andy and Lance encounter their old rivals – now renamed the "Dirt Sharks" – who suggest that Peter might have other motives for finding the plane than simply to lay a wreath.Andy's interview goes disastrously at first, but his enthusiasm for archaeology shows when he presents some clay pipe pieces he found in a flower-bed.
