The new Book at Bedtime on R4 tonight, 10:45pm reunites Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones in Italo Calvino's 'Marcovaldo'. I've never read the collection but it's surely going to be worth a listen.
I gave Detectorists a miss the first time round, thinking "Nah, that sounds rubbish, that can't work"...for some reason started watching it on iPlayer a year or so later. Brilliant!
Glad to hear it. If it's any consolation, I listed to my suggestion linked to above and was a bit disappointed. Jones & Crook were predictably very good but the stories and writing were IMO decidedly average.
