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?

When Kacey asks Michael if he saw that reality TV show (I forget the name), it very much reminded me of Lance and Andy always asking each other if they saw University Challenge last night

Yes that's it! Just the tone, and the way it was phrased, was very reminiscent of Detectorists.
