Part One

Archeological enthusiast Martin Stone takes his soon to be son in law Ashley Taylor on a bonding trip, metal detecting. The pair happen upon a valuable Saxon haul, but instead if handing it over, they try to get some money for it, illegally.

I have to admit, I really enjoyed this first episode, so different to what I was expecting, and completely different to anything that's been in recently.

It's lighter in tone than I'd expected, I have a feeling it's going to open up somewhat.

It's almost like a serious version of Detectorists, and the legalities surrounding finds are fascinating.

Neil Morrissey is a joy, and isn't he ageing very well.

A fine start.

7/10.

I have to say I was quite impressed with this.

I had watched too many channel 5 dramas in recent years but this was fairly good.

A comedy drama with quality comedy actors (and Neil Morrissey!) actually filmed in the UK and, if you totally ignore thd tot rip off of The Detectorists; it was quite a credible start to the story.

Let's hope the standard is retained for the remainder of the series.

Will they find Jack? Looking For Jack was quite a good first solo album by Colin (James) Hay after he left Men At Work and he has gone on to do great musical and tv work since.

Let's hope this band of actors go on to do great work later in thd series.
