In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.

A conversation on here earlier reminded me of a thing that I’ve always loved and occasionally bang on about.
It’s the care taken by Mackenzie Crook to specify which bird species we can hear in the background for many scenes in Detectorists.
