Detectorists (mini-series) - Toby Jones and Mackenzie Crook Star in this British Comedy

Mackenzie Crook (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Toby Jones (The Hunger Games) strike comedic gold in this critically adored series about two oddballs scouring the English countryside for treasure. If only their characters, Andy and Lance, could be so fortunate.

These amateur metal detectorists have an unhealthy fixation on uncovering a fabled trove of buried Saxon loot. Unfortunately, the world of high-stakes metal detecting is surprisingly turbulent, as are their personal lives.

Andy's girlfriend, Becky (Rachael Stirling, The Bletchley Circle), is none too pleased about the amount of time he sinks into his fruitless hobby, and even less so when a female colleague enters the equation. Lance, meanwhile, is still hopelessly in love with his ex-wife-and finds several embarrassing ways to show it.

But behind the most excruciating moments lies a winning combination of warmth, eccentricity, and humanity that makes this comedy "indispensable viewing" (The Guardian, UK) and "one of the loveliest, most inventive things on TV all year" (The Daily Mail, UK).
The BBC-aired miniseries comes to DVD in North America on September 1st when Acorn Media releases Detectorists, starring Toby Jones ("Dr. Arnim Zola" in the Captain America films and in the Agent Carter TV series; "Claudius Templesmith" in the Hunger Games films; the voice of "Dobby" in the Harry Potter films) and show star/writer/director Mackenzie Crook ("Gareth" in the original U.K.'s The Office; "Ragetti" in the Pirates of the Caribbean films; "Orell, the Wildling Warg" in Game of Thrones).
