Mackenzie Crook (of The Office fame) wrote and stars in this with Toby Jones. It’s a gentle comedy with an unusual theme of metal detector nerds. They are showing old ones at the moment and we never caught it the first time round but are watching now. It took a bit of getting into but we love it now. They are filming a new series this summer for showing in the winter.
Example from last night. Toby’s character Lance is in a restaurant with an on-line date. He told his best mate Mackenzie’s character Andy, that he has important business and on being questioned, says he has to go to Screwfix. Later that day Andy spots him in the restaurant with the girl and rings him up. Andy asked where he is and he says Screwfix. Andy says he can hear Mexican music. Quick as a flash, Lance says yes Screwfix are having a Mexican themed afternoon. We were in fits.
