I came late to Detectorists. I'm just watching the second series now.

It's just about the perfect TV progamme. Sometimes the beauty of its gentle Englishness makes me weep silent tears of gratitude for having been born in this Great Country.

Plus, it's got Toby Jones.

I remember texting almost exactly this to you about a year ago whilst drunk. You told me you didn't like gentle whimsy.

Ah, but I don't like gentle whimsy when it comes wrapped, as it does so often, in a cawl of intellectual superiority.

Yes, but the lesson here is that if I recommend something, you ought with alacrity to leap upon it as I am never wrong.

The only thing I don't like about the programme is yer man from The Office's wife. She's got a very deep voice and is really irritating.

I have shed many a tear about how beautiful the landscape is in it. And, as you know, I am not given to eye-pīssing to the extent you are. I don't live far from some of the places it's filmed.

Yes, she is a teacher and therefore undoubtedly a communist, whilst he is a feckless layabout who refuses to work to support his wife and child.

The whole thing, frankly, is Corbynesque propaganda of the vilest sort.

Also, I wish he'd put his bony arms away. They gross me out. I don't really understand how people are that skinny without snapping.

Also, don't get me started on the canary yellow TR7. One of those wánkers who thinks he drives a 'classic car' because it's more than 25 years old. (See also all MG enthusiasts.) The car was shít the day it rolled off the production line, mate, and the passage of a quarter of a century is unlikely to have improved its dynamic capabilities.

I used to get lifts to work with a rather pretty sales lady who insisted on driving one of them - canary yellow, too. Not only did one look ridiculous in it, it was forever going wrong, so I'd have to get the bus.

She turned out to be a lesbian.
