Detecting Loss in Detectorists: A British comedy observed

#083.  In this episode I'm looking at one of our favourite TV programmes ever; the British comedy, Detectorists.<br/><br/>Welcome to The Silent Why, a podcast exploring every type of loss and grief and all the places we find them.<br/><br/>I'm Claire Sandys and every now and then, among our regular episodes (exploring 101 types of loss) I like to share another love of mine - fictional storytelling, particularly involving grief and loss.  This means occasionally I dissect specific programmes, books or stories that handle grief or loss in a particular way and share my musings with you.The programme I'm looking at today is a comedy that launched in 2014 on BBC Four - Detectorists, and I'm looking at the Season 2 finale, Episode 6 - You are gold! <br/><br/>So join me as I detect loss in Detectorists and how Mackenzie Crook handled a subject very close to my heart (and my podcast).<br/><br/>SPOILER ALERT: This episode does contain spoilers from 7 mins 15 secs onwards, basically after my husband's impromptu piano rendition of the theme tune (a regular feature that's always worth hearing!).Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgN7z0SD8v8&ab_channel=SeriesFest<br/><br/>Theme tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q58Gm18-IMY<br/><br/>Where to watch Detectorists (in UK):<br/>iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b06l51nr/detectorists<br/>Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80065658<br/><br/>Previous Silent Why episodes exploring loss on TV:<br/><br/>Grief in Ghosts: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/7d0da791/grief-in-ghosts-the-bbc-sitcom-observed<br/><br/>Loss in Ted Lasso: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/799203f6/loss-in-ted-lasso-a-sports-comedy-observed<br/><br/>Support the show-----<br/><br/>Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn <br/><br/>Support the show through: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhy <br/><br/>Review the show: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Goodpods <br/><br/>More about the hosts, our childless journey, photos of guests, blog, and official 101 losses list: thesilentwhy.com <br/><br/>What's a Herman? - thesilentwhy.com/herman<br/><br/>Tips on how to help and talk to griefy people: thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrieving<br/><br/>Episode transcripts and support the show: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.com<br/><br/>Thank you for listening.
