BBC Comedy Boss Pleased Breakout Hit ‘Small Prophets’ Failed To Land American Co-Producer: “They Would Have Insisted On Some Mad Name”

Small Prophets is a whimsical delight, the antidote to the general horror in the news. I also get to hear one of my favourite words "Homunculi" multiples times.

If you've seen The Detectorists then you'll know what pace this is (it's also from Mackenzie Crook)

Television rec of the week
(or maybe of longer than the week, depending on long it takes me to find another show to recommend):

'Small Prophets' by Mackenzie Crook.

Currently available on BBC iPlayer.
Quiet, low-key sharply observed humans, not making other people's lives, or their own, easier.
Possibly magical realism? Not entirely sure which genre it sits in.

#Television #Rec #MackenzieCrook

A quick reminder that, before The Detectorists and Wurzel Gummidge, #MackenzieCrook had imagined prototypes for #SmallProphets in a 2011 children's story called 'The Windvale Sprites'.

#SmallProphets is the most joyful thing on TV since #Detectorists. Such warmth, humanity & acceptance as well as quirks & whimsy.

It's an antidote for a world that's gone completely BONKERS.

(UK viewers - binge the whole series on BBC iPlayer. We've already watched it thru 4 times.)

#MackenzieCrook (writer and director) is a bloody genius.

We're currently re-watching the (practically perfect) BBC TV series #Detectorists for the umpteenth time. Have you seen it?

It prompted me to share with you some details of my #paintings inspired by its gentle genius.

Get your coils to the soil!

I'm waiting for you!

One of the greatest series on television. An Xmas special.

Toby Jones on the return of Detectorists

As he and Mackenzie Crook revive their beloved treasure hunters for a Christmas special, the actor reveals how their pairing began, what his four new projects are – and why there’s no such thing as a small role

Saw the trailer for #TheDetectorists Xmas special on #bbc #tv. Can't wait!!
But did anyone spot the little hint in #MackenzieCrook's last series of Worzel Gummidge? In one of the shots you can see two detectorists and (as I remember) the yellow TR7 way in the distance!

#Detectorists creator #MackenzieCrook tells this week's Radio Times what it was like bringing the beloved show back for a feature-length special. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/mackenzie-crook-detectorists-special-diana-rigg/

"Did you see University Challenge last night?"

Are there any #Detectorists fans out there awaiting the 75 minute special as eagerly as me? If so I'd love to connect to talk ring pulls, buttons and other wonderful things on the "finds table".
