I, like many others loved the original series, And this special was up there in my option,
I loved the familiarity of the whole show and it's characters and like my title suggests it was the best thing on tv this year,
There is something comforting about watching a tv show with likeable characters and with picturesque settings,
This show certainly delivers that, and the storyline is easy to follow and very well written,
I would have liked to seen how far Andy had got in the house renovations before it burned down and how the fire started, but I guess the show was about the club but it did add an air of mystery to the show,
I do however hope Mackenzie crook leaves the show there now as I think you can overcook a good thing,
Plot summary

Best show on at Christmas
Thank you!
Loved spending time with everyone again in this special, just have to say I don't love the sad-sack resolution of the gold from the last episode, and how long you let us think the cup was lost in this one! Simon and Garfunkel were so overcome with emotion at being invited, I honestly don't believe they wouldn't have shared some of the spoils. Why did Andy's house need to have burn down? These guys will still be lovable even if they win a bit.
Good job with the opening bit that leads to the titles.
Obviously anyone who loved this show will be watching the special, and I think and hope most will be as happy with it as I was.
It's about time
This was never for the cynic. It never offered melodrama, a second act crisis or grand finale. It has always been about slowing down to the genuine emotional rhythm of the detectorist, and enjoying the story's undulation.
Those who are somehow disillusioned by the episode's so called lack of luster must have never gotten the point.
I am so thankful for spending more time in this world. I believe it is the least us hardcore fans of moderate living are owed. So, an hour and a half every three years if you please.
There is so precious little of such humble, pleasant tube time to be found. Almost like it's hidden in the ground.
