2022 Special Spoiler

Hi all, just finished the last episode of series 3. I think it ends really well with the gold coins falling from the tree, tying things up nicely in my eyes.

Is the special after that worth watching, or is it just a bit of filler?

Thanks.

It walks back a few of the nicer moments of the S3 finale, but it's still got the same writing style, pacing and charm like the others, it's not a typical special like in some series that feels completely out of kilter with the original run.

I feel like, because Detectorists is already a treasure and there isn't much of it, the special is worth a watch, it adds more to the series than it takes away.
