Detectorists is a British comedy television series first broadcast on BBC Four in October 2014. It is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook, who also stars alongside Toby Jones.

The main characters are keen to point out that they are metal detectorists (people) and not metal detectors (the equipment they use), hence the series title.
