The Detectorists, Season 3: 2017


     Andy and Lance are very much interested in going out in a field and looking for any kind of treasure with their metal detectors.  Andy was formerly out of work but now he has a job working on a building site looking for any archaeological items at the site.  He finds a mosaic under the dirt but the foreman tells him to cover it up.  When he comes back the next day, the mosaic is gone?  The foreman says there isn’t any money in a Roman mosaic and it would hold up construction?  Andy gets really angry!!  Lance is having difficulties with his daughter living with him.  She is messy and Lance is a neat freak.  Lance has a girlfriend but she lives on a boat and Lance gets severe seasickness even at the dock?  He tries hypnosis but it doesn’t work. 
     I like this series and I’ve seen Series 1 and 2.  Andy is such a sad sack and he’s always down plus he always looks down.  Lance can’t stand for even the corners of cheese to be cut off?  He claims it makes it more difficult to slice?  His girlfriend’s boat is a canal boat and they don’t have much of a rocking movement when they are out on the water?  I would think it would be impossible to feel seasick??  The characters are funny!!  4* (I really liked this season)

TV Series, 6 episodes, 60 min each with Mackenzie Crook, Toby Jones, Rachael Stirling. Gerard Horan, Pearce Quigley, Divian Ladwa, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Lucy Benjamin, Adam Riches.

Note:  Imdb 8.6 out of 10, 100% critic 100% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Blue Print Review 5* with 22 ratings, Amazon 4.7* out of 5* with 213 reviews,
Special Note:  Filmed in Framlingham; Orford, Suffolk and Ipswich, Suffolk, England, UK.  There is a yellow Triumph TR7 in some of the scenes.  Mackenzie Crook owns it  but Lance is the owner in the series.  Crook stars in this series and he is also the writer.  Diana Rigg plays Rachael Stirling’s mother and they are actually mother and daughter.  Lance’s last name is Stater and this is a type of ancient Greek gold or silver coin that could be uncovered by a detectorist.
