ANDY:

F*** ‘em.

Becky laughs.

207 EXT. DUAL CARRIAGEWAY - DAY 207

Andy, wearing ear-protectors is swinging a strimmer like a

metal detector on the central reservation of a dual

carriageway. He spots something, bends down and picks up a

toad which he places in the pocket of his high-vis vest.

He stops the strimmer, feels in his pocket for his phone,

answers it.

ANDY:

Hello mate...

Intercut with:

208 EXT. FRUIT AND VEG DEPOT - DAY 208

A wide shot of Lance’s work place. Lance is on the phone,

sitting in his fork-lift. On the tarmac are upturned wooden

pallets and swedes are rolling around.

LANCE:

Do you like swedes?...

Good, you coming round? I’ll knock

something up...

Did you speak to Bishop?

209 EXT. DUAL CARRIAGEWAY - DAY 209

ANDY:

Yeah, interesting. Totally mad. I’ll

tell you when I come round, I’m

right in the middle of something...

The A414...

See you later.

210 INT. LANCE’S FLAT, LOUNGE - DAY

Close on details of Lance’s exquisite aquarium.

A small plastic treasure chest ornament nestles in amongst

the plants at the bottom. Every now and again the lid of the

chest opens and an air bubble escapes.

Wider and we see that Andy, carrying a guitar case, is

peering in the fish tank, his nose pressed up to the glass.

Lance shouts through from the kitchen.

LANCE (V.O.)

And he reckons he still has these

‘artefacts’?

ANDY:

He reckons so.

Andy slowly lifts his hand and is about to tap on the glass

with his knuckle when Lance enters with two plates of food

and makes him jump.

LANCE:

Don’t knock on the glass, it

stresses them out.

ANDY:

I wasn’t going to.

Andy puts his guitar down and goes to join Lance at the

table.

ANDY:

What are we eating?

LANCE:

‘Swede Surprise’

ANDY:

What’s the surprise?

LANCE:

How bland it is.

Andy eats a forkful.

ANDY:

Mmm! That is bland!

LANCE:

Surprisingly bland.

ANDY:

I wish you hadn’t told me.

Speaking of which, how much are we

going to tell the rest of the club

about Bishop?

Detectorists - Episode 2 - 17.

LANCE:

I reckon we keep it to ourselves for

the ‘tambourine’. If they get wind

of the previous excavation, or

Bishop’s ‘finds’, what ever they *

turn out to be, someone’s going to

phone the beards and it’ll all be

over.

We’ll say we’re still doing our

research. *

ANDY:

Deal.

So, when am I going to hear this

song of yours?

LANCE:

I don’t know if I even want to do it

anymore.

ANDY:

What? I’ve built myself up for it

now. I’ve invited some A & R people

down.
