TUNGKOL SA EPISODE NA ITO
A seagull, a lottery win, 150 camo fleeces, and the line that sums up this hobby better than anything ever written. Episode five is one of the best.
Your host Katie is joined by Karl (Instagram: @thementaldetector) and Ross (Instagram: @detectorosst) to rewatch Season 1, Episode 5 of the BAFTA-winning BBC comedy drama Detectorists, first aired on BBC4 on the 30th of October 2014.
Andy detects alone and is comprehensively pooped on by a seagull. Sophie finds him under the lunchtime tree and he confides he wants to sell his detector, take Becky somewhere, and call it done. Lance tries the University Challenge chat with a man called Cliff and gets nowhere, negotiates his way out of work early by offering to finish the pomegranates first, and ends up in Crystal Enigma blagging it with a customer wanting something shamanic, while Maggie still cannot remember how many sugars he takes. Andy pleads through Becky's mum's letterbox with his phone clearly visible in his pocket.
The episode turns when Lance sits in a field, Sophie approaches, and he opens up: detecting is their escape, finding junk and talking bollocks is what it is, and on the 5th of November the night Maggie left, with fireworks going off outside, he walked into a shop with a quid and won £300,000. Then Simon and Garfunkel arrive to close the land. The photograph is taped back together. Sophie says a name. It all comes out. Terry's greatest line of the series. The 150 fleeces. Bishop is arrested. The invisible dogs, looked after, gave them the slip.
Featuring Toby Jones as Lance, Mackenzie Crook as Andy, Rachel Stirling as Becky, and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Sophie.
