Episode description

After working at Pizza Hut in his twenties, Mackenzie Crook suddenly shot to fame playing the hapless paper salesman Gareth Keenan in the smash-hit BBC comedy “The Office”

Since then, he’s starred in blockbuster franchises including Pirates of the Caribbean and Game of Thrones, as well as Shakespeare, Dickens and his beloved Worzel Gummidge.

He also created, directed and starred in the charming comedy-drama Detectorists, playing one half of an eccentric metal-detecting duo, alongside Toby Jones, which prompted Mackenzie to take up the hobby and search for real-life treasure.

So – headphones on – let's start scanning – and see what we can uncover among Mackenzie Crook’s Inheritance Tracks...

Inherited: Big Yellow taxi by Joni Mitchell Passed on: River Man by Nick Drake

Producers: Ben Mitchell and Anna Bailey
