I thought this was worth a thread of it's own after the few snippets within the Eng v Pan thread.
I love a good comedy programme and one that I found to be unique but briliant recently was 'Detectorists', Mackenzie Crook's three-series masterpiece about the metal detecting community in a small village in Suffolk.
Anyone else watched it? In my opinion one of the best written, best acted and cleverest pieces of TV of recent years. It's a gem. Worth starting from the beginning and giving a go.

Oh and it even has a Notts link ...ish. Here's my favourite scene of the whole thing, it's a bit dark

60s Steptoe and Son
70s Porridge
80s Blackadder
90s League of Gentlemen
00s Phoenix Nights or The Office
10s Struggling a bit to be fair, maybe Peep Show.
It’s right about some scenes getting boring cos of repetition , like Del falling through the bar. By far the best scene in Only Fools is Rodney asking Trigger why he calls him Dave. Genius.

Mrs Brown? Mrs Brown????!!!! That programme alone is enough for me to revoke my licence. Humour about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Anyone who thinks this is funny has got serious wit problems.
Nothing comes close to Monty Python in its vintage years except, perhaps, the boys from Royston Vasey - northern gem.
Will give Detectorists a try, Swale, never even considered it but if you say so...
