I'll start 'route one' so as to focus NSC's attention to the parameters of this one thread!! :lol:

Slightly niche to the outside world, but not NSCland, my two of many from The Detectorists are:-

This isn't so much a long running joke, more of a joke that is set up over a long time (the three clips are from different episodes)
