Small Prophets

Just finished binge watching the first season of Small Prophets over the weekend.  It didn't take long, since it consisted of just 6 half hour episodes.  And I have to heartily recommend it - I think even my Mum would enjoy it (and since it's a BBC production, I assume it is available on the BBC iPlayer).  I thought it was great - the perfect combination of charming, quirky and poignancy.  It looks like it had pretty decent viewing figures in the UK, so I think I'm probably preaching to the choir.  Now I've started watching Detectorists - a show I had heard of but had never seen before, which shares a lot of the same qualities.
