The feature-length adventure is the first episode of the bafta-winning comedy, which mackenzie writes, directs and stars in, for five years.

Lance pulled something out of the ground. "what you got?" asked andy. Inspecting his find through a magnifying glass, lance replied: "ring pull. '83. Tizer. " metal detecting is not all roman gold and saxon hoards. In fact, it very rarely is. Why do they do it? "metal detecting is the closest you'll get to time travel," lance explains. "see, archaeologists, they gather up the facts, piece the jigsaw together, work out how we lived.
