Been told about this DVD release by the distributors over here...

They say they're looking for gold – but what they're really searching for and what they find will surprise even them. Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones are Andy and Lance, two friends who find common ground as part of the Danebury Metal Detecting Club. Their dream is to uncover the final resting place of King Sexred, a wealthy East Saxon King. But while they search for the past, they must also grapple with the present. For Andy that includes trying to keep his head above water with Becky (Rachael Stirling), his long-standing girlfriend. For Lance it's trying to win back ex-wife Maggie, from the local take-away pizza manager. Both of them face an invasion of their turf by rival detectorists the Antiquisearchers. It's an uphill, down dale, over field and around the meadow struggle. But they know at heart in a buried world of tin can pulls and toy cars, there's something waiting that – if only they could find it – would change their lives forever.

Mighty Ape is probably the best place to buy it - https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Detectorists-Season-One-DVD/24165261 Not too expensive either at $24.99.
Otherwise JB HI-FI will definitely stock it on release

Apparently I'm also being flicked a few copies to give away, so I'll try and dream up someway to give them out. Maybe we can get some nominations for members of the forums most friendly and helpful then run some polls to see who gets the freebies?

Hi Gavin

You can get all the episodes off the net.

Best way ( for me) is to go to google: type in the detectorist season 1 episode 1 and click on the site that has the detectorist season 1 episode 1- www.dailymotion.com ( the BBC sites block you)

6 episodes on season 1 and the same on season 2.

Good dry English humour.
Becky is the real life daughter of Diana Rigg and Diana Rigg plays the Mother Inlaw in season 2. (for us in the older age group who can remember the original Avengers)

There is also a special Xmas episode coming out in a couple of weeks.

Hi Gavin, yeah!...I'd be keen to get a copy if you have a few spares come January 12.
I'll PM you my address once you confirm you have a spare....or I could collect from you, whatever suits.

Alternatively, we could all bowl around to Gavin's place and watch the DVD - marathon style. :^)

Ok, the bunch of free DVD's has arrived to give away. One of them might be pre-watched though with a marathon viewing as per oroplata's suggestion :P What, you didn't get the invite? So sorry! :P

So number8wire has put his hand up, anyone else want a freebie?

If more people are interested than I have actual copies of I'll dream up some method to fairly pick a few lucky names out.
