Detectorists

This Person (Ottilie)

I love, love, love the TV show Detectorists. This has been my comfort show over and over through tumultuous times. I feel calm and connected to something when I watch it. I would love to be Andy and Lance's friend in a field routinely pacing up and down in the countryside. I love how it shows a gentle side of life where people jibe with each other but ultimately accept each other's eccentricities. I love the scenes where history comes to life. It really is a harbour in a storm for me, and I'm very grateful for it. I also have this feeling when I watch Jam and Jerusalem. I think these shows have a model for how I could be in society - small communities that tolerate quirks. It's a real antidote to the utter twaddle that mainstream society promotes.

    Johnny Flynn is beautiful. There's a program on BBC Sounds called Edward Thomas and the Song of the Path where he walks with Robert MacFarlane in the footsteps of Thomas. If you haven't heard it you should check it out.

    That's true about male friendships. Mackenzie Crook is a gentle soul. Ever since I saw that he befriended a robin I've wanted to make my own bird friend.
