Glad I've got the next book in the series ordered already. I'm really enjoying them.

Mackenzie Crook: Landscapes of Detectorists (2020, Sackett, Colin)

Essential Reading

This slim volume is essential reading for anyone who loved the TV series. In four learned but very readable essays, its authors expand upon some of the themes of 'Detectorists', while the foreword by Mackenzie Crook and afterword by Adam Tandy, the producer, offer some insights into the making of the programme. Highly recommended.
