Detectorists reunite for new special

Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones will reunite for a one off Detectorists special, five years after their comedy series ended.

They return as metal detecting hobbyists, Lance and Andy, from the Danebury Metal Detecting Club.

Director, writer and star of the show Mackenzie Crook said, “It was 2017 when we were last in Danebury and I miss my old friends in the DMDC. I’ve had a story percolating for a while and I thought it was worth getting Lance, Andy and the rest of the band back together for. The affection expressed for Detectorists over the years has been incredible and I hope fans of the show will enjoy this new, extended episode.”

Producer Gill Isles said: “It’s absolutely thrilling to be spending the summer back in Danebury with Mackenzie and the team. There is so much love for the show that I can’t wait for everyone to see what Mackenzie has in store in this next chapter.”

The series screened in Australia on ABC Comedy for 3 seasons.
