"Detectorists" simply provided a pastoral setting for an ever so slightly dystopian society... Can't disagree with any of the above - the final series did highlight an absence of integrity when archaeological work is being done for developers (something I had often wondered about). Also the cost to nature of solar energy farms - though can't see many other viable ways forward. It also had mystical, clever magpies (and the Unthanks). Quietly anarchic - Andy using only water instead of weed killer to spray motorway verges while temping for Highway Maintenance; rescuing a hedgehog from being run over; making a peace pact with old adversaries to protect an ancient tree. And the ending of course - it was a fairy tale in a wicked world. Reply | with quote |  19th December 2017ce 00:14 In reply to: Re: Detectorists (Howburn Digger) |
