So far, it's pretty amusing. David Tennant is so good at the funny facial expressions!

Best tv ever. Timeless. Very light touch but Shakespearean in depth.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/detectorists

Andy and Lance are friends who share a passion for metal detecting. Although they act like an old married couple -- griping at each other -- there is a true bond between the two, and they have a common dream: finding a priceless collection of items that would cement their place in detecting history. Greed, betrayal and redemption are among the emotions experienced as Andy and Lance, along with their eccentric friends in the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, go in search of the big find that has eluded them to this point. The sitcom is written and directed by co-star Mackenzie Crook.

something as good. Suggest the movie Babe. Has some great comedy, the mechanical rooster. (I’m laughing just thinking of it.)
