Mackenzie Crook's still searching for treasure

I'm not in my most comfortable place!

Crook isn't so keen on live TV interviews

The Office star Mackenzie Crook joins us to tell us about his new series of BAFTA-award winning sitcom The Detectorists, a series that meant so much to him he turned down a role in the new Pirates of the Caribbean film!

The Detectorists is a project close to Mackenzie's heart, "I came up with the idea a few years ago, and I've seen it all through, I wrote it and directed it, so it's really precious to me."

Crook explained his vision of the series: "I didn't want it to be cruel humour, or cynical ... and it's turned out exactly how I imagined it."

As a reluctant star, the actor told Phillip and Amanda that getting recognised has never sat very comfortably with him, and as for interviews like this? Mackenzie admitted, "I'm not in my most comfortable place!"
