I have never remotely understood the attraction of Gone Fishing. I have tried but I just don't get it.

It's not complicated; two of my favourite comedians, having a laugh and enjoying being together in beautiful places doing something they love.

Detectorists is absolutely top notch (slightly awkward blokes with an odd obsession anyone?). Coincidently watched 'Beast' at the weekend with Johnny Flynn (Detectorists theme tune).

So did we! Great film. On All4.

We love the Detectorists. Have watched it a few times over the years as comfort telly.

This Country is also amazing. Much funnier than Detectorists (IMO) but a different vibe.

We've just seen the first two episodes of The Detectorists on BBC iPlayer.

Thanks everyone for the recommendation!

Reformatting...


Few I've watched recently:

True Detective: Night Country (Sky / Now TV)


Better than all the other "not S1" True Detective series, but not amazing either.Builds nicely but kind of peters out in the final act, and the dénouement is a bit weird, and leave a few strange plot holes.

The Gentlemen (Netflix)


Spinoff of the Guy Richie film (which I rather enjoyed). Gather he's involved in some fashion.Enjoyable if you accept it for what it is - you're going to get cartoon caricatures of Scouse gangsters, pwopa nawty geezers etc.

All the Light we Cannot See

A Netflix adaptation of the novel (which I haven't read, though I heard it's quite good). I really enjoyed this four part adaptation, it has some decent acting - although some pretty cartoonish bad guys - overall pretty entertaining and not too serious.

Agree.  This was really good.

Bill Bailey Pub walks. Similar to Gone Fishing with Mortimer and Whitehouse basically two blokes talking about life.

Useful beta as I've just tried S01 as the night country trailer made the series look interesting. I can't say I'm enjoying it.

You're not enjoying season 1?! One of the best standalone series of TV ever made!

The Chinook thing OMM mentioned is excellent. Knew nothing about that particular coverup.

Nordfar Sola is on Netflix at the moment. Amazing. One for the sufferers... I mean surfers.
