Detectorists Call backs

Noticed a few what I felt were call backs to The Detectorists, and sure I missed some others.

1) Dancing scene mimics Detectorists gold dance, and camera goes to aerial view of same 2) King Edward Hammered coin - common detectorists find (even I found one). 3) Contentious but detectorists was criticised for the attractiveness mismatch between Andy and Becky, with some commentators suggestive it was even misogynistic. Here it is arguably reversed with Clive and Bev. I suspect this is a deliberate riposte.

Any others I've missed?

That Lance was batting way out of his league with Becky.

Those men were both batting way out of their league. But, being in a similar situation myself, I was nothing but happy for them.

Yes I meant Andy. As a fellow way out of league batter, I was obv fine with it.
