You're right to give the scenery and cinematography a nod; the former is beautiful and the latter is beautifully conceived and executed.<br /><br />As for the quote...no kudos points for you then!

Would you be interested in a clue?Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267504526414194713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-860841312507198702017-06-26T18:41:24.786+01:002017-06-26T18:41:24.786+01:00Priceless is an apt adjective.

I too was...Oh YESSS, Detctorists is just glorious! I too was late to the party, kept reading recommendations the first time it was shown but somehow kept missing it, so was really pleased when they decided to repeat it. I tuned in with great excitement, hoping, with just that little bit of apprehension in case not, that it would be as good as I'd been led to believe. It was even better. It's been the highlight of my last few weeks. The mix of comedy and pathos, its 'quietness' as opposed to comedies which are all bells-and-whistles and action-packed, and its pace which seems slow and yet when it's over you wonder where on earth that half hour went. Add to that the lovely mix of characters, the blend of them seeming very real and relatable in some ways (Andy and Becky) yet surreal in others (Terry's wife Sheila!), the beautiful cinematography.... well I could go on... but you've already summed it up so well.<br />Must just add that the scenery does it for me too as it was filmed not far from where I live so there is much familiarity about it and I can smell that air! Oh and I'm a little bit in love with Larry Bishop for reasons I simply cannot fathom.<br />I'm so looking forward to series 2 tomorrow and the third one when it's shown.<br />Can't place your quote, though!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815567696079354237.post-65649305331158047932017-06-26T18:04:46.537+01:002017-06-26T18:04:46.537+01:00One of the best things I've seen in years.
