Kate

Kate turns up on the fringes of the detecting club, young and a little unsure where she fits among the older, more settled faces of the group. She watches more than she talks at first, curious about this strange, patient hobby and the odd, gentle world it belongs to.

Alexa Davies brings a wry, watchful quality to Kate, letting silences and small reactions do the work in a show built on understatement. She never overplays the comedy, which is exactly why she fits so naturally into Detectorists' quiet, generous sense of humour.
