Thinking of picking myself up one of these hats. The sun and I don't get on too well.

This wide brim hat allows you to wear headphones and there is a flap at the back to stop the neck from getting burnt.

Comedy fans are in for a treat this spring with four new shows coming to BBC4 including a six-part Mackenzie Crook sitcom in which he plays a wannabee archaeologist.

Detectorists will see Crook draw on his own experiences as a metal detector enthusiast and “taps into the world of the male hobby which is very funny and touching,” according to BBC controller of comedy commissioning Shane Allen.

Crook's main co-star has not been formally cast, though the BBC is hoping to announce a “big name” signing soon, according to sources.

The pair “embark on a journey of greed, betrayal, rejection and redemption as they hurtle towards Danbury Metal Detecting Club’s greatest ever find,” according to the BBC.

Minelab Clothing

On the 10th Dec last year, Minelab announced that they had introduced the Minelab Lifestyle Collection.

Well, nearly 2 months later, I have yet to see any (Australian) retailer advertise this range. I sent an email to Minelab Australia in Dec for pricing and availability and I am still waiting a reply.

Has anyone got any details on pricing and availability?
