Broadchurch (series 3 starts Feb. 27, 9pm, ITV1)

[Shaun]

Actor David Tennant will play a detective in new drama Broadchurch, about the death of a young boy in a seaside town, ITV1 has announced.

The eight-part series has been penned by Doctor Who and Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall.

Tennant leads an ensemble cast featuring Rev star Olivia Colman and Will Mellor.

Arthur Darvill, who plays current Doctor Who Matt Smith's sidekick Rory, will appear as the town priest.

Best known for his own stint as the Doctor, Tennant will star as out-of-town Detective Inspector Alec Hardy, who is set to clash with a local officer played by Colman.

The actress found fame as Sophie in Channel 4 comedy Peep Show, before going on to star in BBC comedy Rev, Twenty Twelve and films including The Iron Lady and Tyrannosaur.

Vicky McClure, who played Lol in This is England and recently starred with Tennant in BBC1's mainly improvised drama True Love, also features.

Writer Chibnalll called it a story of "scale and intimacy" in which the characters' lives are "laid bare".

"Broadchurch focuses on a small British community which finds itself at the eye of a storm," said writer Chibnall.

"In the wake of one boy's death, the residents come under scrutiny and suspicion."

Also joining the cast is actress Jodie Whittaker, who starred in British alien comedy Attack the Block.

The show will be filmed on location in Dorset and Portishead near Bristol later this year.

Tennant is also set to feature in a forthcoming BBC Four drama, The Spies Of Warsaw, based on the best-selling novel by Alan Furst.

I'm just about to watch :amazed:

[Suze]

Only seen the last two episodes, so probably missed quite a bit of important stuff. Far too many suspects, but it seems ok so far. How many episodes long is it?

[Suze]

Leaning towards that it could be the Policewoman's son, probably change my mind though.

8 I believe, I nodded off half way through last nights offering, its a tad drawn out to say the least.

[arista]

Yes 8 episodes

More than One Criminal to catch

[Shaun]

I personally think it's

the vicar (Rory Pond from Dr Who :p)

and I hope I'm right because I guessed the killer on the Killing 3 episodes in :laugh: (although I went and changed my mind like five times since that first series was the best whodunnit of all time)

[Daniel R]

Anything with arthur darvill and david tennant in is great tbh

[Cherie]

I personally think it's

the vicar (Rory Pond from Dr Who :p)

Thought it might be him from early on but now dismissed him as it seems a bit obvious..:conf:

Sad episode tonight. that poor papershop man. Just shows you that the press arent always right and really do ruin peoples lives

[Shaun]

Thought it might be him from early on but now dismissed him as it seems a bit obvious..:conf:

Yeah I figured that after episode 4 showed him lurking about in the dark and praying a lot, lol... but the newsagent I guess is even more obvious, so who knows. A second suspect of mine would be Will Mellor's (the psychic)...

[Suze]

Sad episode tonight. that poor papershop man. Just shows you that the press arent always right and really do ruin peoples lives

You sort of saw something of that sort coming though, through that episode. And id he jump off or was he pushed? He didn't seem the type to just give up, he didn't even want to move from the area.

[Shaun]

Jack :(

[Suze]

I love spoilers, so was googling spoilers for this, and found one that rules out one of the residents in the murder.

On Now

[Shaun]

Haven't seen tonight's yet but it's looking more likely it's not the vicar :suspect: I'm beginning to think it may be the dad's bald friend.

[Shaun]

Watching it now... am now torn between two suspects:

- bald guy mentioned above
- and Ellie's husband :/

[Black Dagger]

I've just started watching this /late

It's gritty, good. ITV should do more of this instead of relying on Strictly spin-offs and Simon Cowell talent showsz

[Marsh.]

I can't believe I've missed what looks like a great show, it's the finale next week too. :sad:
Sounds like a British "The Killing".

Where can I catch up?

[Shaun]

I think there'll be four or so episodes on ITV Player, but for the first few you might have to download :(

Pauline Quirke is amazing in this... and Olivia as usual... and David tbh... all a really great cast. And yeah it's the closest to 'The Killing' I've watched (ignoring other Scandi-crimes like The Bridge)

[Shaun]

there are betting sites taking bets on who did it :laugh2:

[Black Dagger]

I can't believe I've missed what looks like a great show, it's the finale next week too. :sad:
Sounds like a British "The Killing".

Where can I catch up?

1channel has all the episodes up, that is where I've been watching it.

[Marsh.]

I'll have a look. Don't know if I'll be able to catch up for Monday but I'll try.

I was just going to wait until afterwards but no doubt I'll hear the ending everywhere after Monday.

[RichardG]

Watching it now... am now torn between two suspects:

- bald guy mentioned above
- and Ellie's husband :/

When Pauline left the police station after admitting the whole story about her husband/children, Ellie asked her "how could you not know what was going on in your own home?", possibly hinting at her husband or son being involved in it. I think the bald guy is too obvious now after the last episode, wouldn't be a surprise if it was him. The vicar would be my other guess, or maybe even the dad??

[Shaun]

Yeah I hadn't seen the interview when I made that guess :laugh:

I'm certain now that it's

Ellie's husband, because IIRC he's bald too

[james130]

Can't believe i've never noticed this thread!
Watched this religiously every week.

From the start I thought it was some drug ring and they were all some how involved and Danny was a mule or something. But if i'm being honest, I still have no idea. Think at the end of episode 7 I was even suspicious of Ellie. :bawling:

[Cherie]

Watching it now... am now torn between two suspects:

- bald guy mentioned above
- and Ellie's husband :/

Thought the 2nd one for a few weeks now. Don't want to look at the other spoilers just in case someone knows for sure..

[Jords]

This sounds good might need to catch up with it.

[Lee.]

I've thought it was ellies husband fir a while now

[Shaun]

I kinda hope it is, since it'll give Olivia Colman a chance to be an outstanding actress again :love:

[Suze]

I wasn'r surprised that Nige was Susan's son, I suspected that a few weeks ago anyway. I thought Nige was the killer until they made it too massively obvious like a red herring, but there again that could be a sort of double bluff by them. I doubt it is the Vicar as he handed the computer in to the Police for them to try and recover anything from it.

In one of the Broadchurch interviews, one of the actors said words to the effect that when it is revealed you will see how all the clues pointed to the person responsible. But a good murder story will usually have clues pointing to many a suspect anyway, so that doesn't help really.

So as Broadchurch reaches its conclusion, I will have a last guess at who it might be. I am guessing at Nige still, or the Policewoman's Husband after she said in so many words to Susan, how could you not know you were living with someone like that, as I think those words could come back to haunt the Policewoman now, or maybe it could even be Danny's Dad's girlfriend, jealous of their bond maybe?

[Shaun]

I hope the writers do another series - if not in the same setting or with the same cast, but something similarly excellent in the future.

[arista]

Bookies have bets on who did it
due to so many viewing this.

Detective drama Broadchurch has been commissioned for a second series, ITV has announced.

The "whodunnit" starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman will go into production next year but details of the cast are being tightly guarded.

The climax of the investigation into the death of 11-year-old Danny Latimer was watched on 22 April by a peak audience of 8.9 million viewers.

Writer Chris Chibnall said he was "gobsmacked" by the figures.

"There was another very different story we could tell afterwards. I'm really thrilled we're going to tell that story too," he said.

Set in the fictional seaside Dorset community of Broadchurch, the drama had bookmakers running odds on who they thought was responsible for the young boy's death.

ITV's director of television, Peter Fincham, said the channel was "delighted" to be commissioning the second series.

"From the moment the murder scene was discovered, viewers became gripped by the series, and we've been genuinely thrilled by the audience response," he said.

The series, produced by Kudos Film and Television, also starred Jodie Whittaker, Andrew Buchan, Vicky McClure, Pauline Quirke and Matthew Gravelle.

Details of the cast and storyline for the follow-up have not been announced yet.

[Jords]

Watched the first 3 eps tonight, very very gripping and emotional.

I think it might be Becca or Pauline's character. So many suspects, even Beth's mum isnt sitting safe with me.

[Jords]

Spent the whole night watching the last 7 eps of this, absolutely fantastic. Caught on it was Joel but if it wasnt him it was gonna be Mark. Didnt expect that reasoning though, thought itd interlink with Tom and the money somehow.

Olivia :worship:
Felt so sad for her character, actually teared up.

Great show.

[Shaun]

Olivia Colman has confirmed she is returning for the new series of Broadchurch.

Colman starred opposite David Tennant in the original eight-part series, which followed the hunt for the killer of an 11-year-old boy found dead on a Dorset beach. Broadchurch was a huge hit for ITV when it aired in March and April of this year, drawing a massive audience of over 10 million for its final episode in which the murderer's identity is revealed.

ITV has revealed that series two of Broadchurch will go into production next year (2014) but plot details are being kept under wraps. Asked at a press event yesterday (November 6) whether she will be back for the next batch of episodes, the the BBC reports, Colman replied: "I don't want to get myself in trouble but I think it's set in stone."

Colman also confirmed she is not reprising her role as DS Ellie Miller in the US remake of Broadchurch - although David Tennant is set to star again as DI Alec Hardy.

two bits of excellent news.

[Glenn.]

I caught this when it was airing on ITV Encore because I missed it the first time round. I put on my planner and I started watching an episode every few nights. I watched the last four episodes last night.

Absolutely incredible drama. The story was great and the cast were just phenomenal. Olivia was outstanding.

I suspected Ellie's husband quote early on but I dismissed it because he was the husband of the detective on the case. I did think it was him again after Ellie asked Susan 'how could she not know?'

Can't wait for series 2. I hope it's as great as the first series :worship:

[Marsh.]

I wonder what the story will be. :think:

[BigSister]

Caught up with this on itv encore and like people have said great tv and was gutted I knew who the murderer was but I wouldn't have guessed first time round
I think Ellie and Alec are returning along with Beth Mark and the vicar. Don't know about any other characters

The first glimpse of Broadchurch's forthcoming second series have been revealed.

The two unbranded coast line shots were aired during The X Factor on ITV last night (November 9). Both clips featured the phrase "The end is where it begins." There is no return date for the series, which will see David Tennant and Olivia Colman reprise their roles as detectives.

Colman starred opposite David Tennant in the original eight-part series, which followed the hunt for the killer of an 11-year-old boy found dead on a Dorset beach. Broadchurch was a huge hit for ITV when it aired in March and April 2013, drawing a massive audience of over 10 million for its final episode in which the murderer's identity is revealed.

Asked at a press event in November 2013 whether she will be back for the next batch of episodes, the BBC reports, Colman replied: "I don't want to get myself in trouble, but I think it's set in stone."

Colman did not, however, reprise her role as DS Ellie Miller in the US remake of Broadchurch – however, David Tennant does star in the US version which was retitled Gracepoint. The 10-episode series is currently airing on the Fox channel.

[Firewire]

well that was good, wasn't it?

[Nick.]

Trying to think of why Marianne Jean-Baptiste's character is trying to help Joe the scumbag!

[Marsh.]

I was skeptical but I think they might have the right balance of continuing the series 1 story and the new mystery.

It's going to be a long wait until next Monday.

[Marsh.]

But was that last shot revealing something? Is Eve Myles the murderer's wife?

[Jay.]

But was that last shot revealing something? Is Eve Myles the murderer's wife?

I have such a bad memory when watching dramas like this, I can never remember what had happened ugh

[Marsh.]

Yeah, she said earlier, I swear?

Oh right, I got confused. I assumed she was the murder victim's mother.

Now she has something in common with Ellie I suppose.

[Glenn.]

Omfg how amazing was that episode :flutter:

[Marsh.]

I'm actually going to watch it again.

[Jay.]

I need to watch it again because I missed important bits :fist:

I need to watch the first series of this...just watched that one and didnt know wtf was going on but it seemed good :laugh:

In fairness now that you know whodunnit, it probably is not worth the watch, basically the kid died at the hands of Joe Miller, Ellie was investigating the case with David Tennant (can't recall his screen name, alzheimers), and Miller was Ellies husband, cue she lost her career and her oldest son who was bessie mates with the victim, not sure where he is now :shrug:

Amazing cant wait for next Monday!

With the stuff on Sandbrook coming back up I hope she returns at some point. She was the reporter on that case.

[Natalie.]

Will have to watch on +1

[Marsh.]

Didn't Joe give his full confession BEFORE Ellie was allowed to see him?

Therefore how can they say she beat a confession out of him?

[Jay.]

Yeah but she said that and it wouldn't change anything :think:

I think it's because, how could they trust them as detectives if they'd do that?

[Marsh.]

But in Ellie's case, this is obviously a very personal thing for her. Still wrong, but they could see how it would affect her, him being her husband.

It's a bit of a stretch to try and argue that Ellie was involved in stitching her own children's father up for the murder of a family friend he didn't commit.

[Ross.]

Didn't Joe give his full confession BEFORE Ellie was allowed to see him?

Therefore how can they say she beat a confession out of him?

I think they're accusing Alec of beating it out of him to get a confession at the shed/house w/e before Ellie did, she said something like 'how are we meant to know if he didn't get those injuries before arriving at the station'.


This is so confusing but I love it. :flutter:

[Jay.]

I thought that, she did it because she had just found out that her husband was the murderer...

Also, did they just say that the nans dead? D:

[Ross.]

I thought that, she did it because she had just found out that her husband was the murderer...

Oh right. I thought the barrister woman said they had tape from the interview room showing Ellie kicking him.

[Ross.]

When was that D:

Beth said 3 months ago I think. :sad:

[Ross.]

Oh right. I thought the barrister woman said they had tape from the interview room showing Ellie kicking him.

They do I think, they wanted to discredit the recording that Alec had by accusing him of beating him up as well although I'm not sure how that works when he must have looked fine in the tape before Ellie kicked him. :laugh:

[Jay.]

Beth said 3 months ago I think. :sad:

oh my god :(

[Marsh.]

Wait, the nan committed suicide?

[Jay.]

omg that woman I love her

[Jay.]

oh my god this is actually brilliant.

I'm kind of hoping that it wasn't Ellie's husband lmao

[Marsh.]

Beth blaming Ellie for every little thing is actually pissing me off.

I hate the bitch.

[Jay.]

Same, because I don't see why anything would point to Ellie knowing that it was her husband :umm2: But I see why she would be angry for her beating her up.

Ahh! Such a good series :flutter:

Im starting to wonder though if the 2 cases might be linked....

[Pete.]

Beth is getting on my tits. Even if her son has died, pushing around Ellie like that :fist:
Me too

[Suze]

Bit annoying though that nearly every actor or maybe every single actor has appeared at some point in Dr who and/or Torchwood. So I am taking it that the writers of Broadchurch are the same writers of Dr Who? Captain Jack will probably turn up next.

[Ross.]

Beth is getting on my tits. Even if her son has died, pushing around Ellie like that :fist:

Award winning drama Broadchurch resumes filming in Dorset this summer with an impressive ensemble cast confirmed to appear in the third and final series.

David Tennant and Olivia Colman reprise their roles as DI Alec Hardy and DS Ellie Miller with Jodie Whittaker and Andrew Buchan returning to play Beth and Mark Latimer.

They will be joined by National Television Award winner Julie Hesmondhalgh, BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell along with Sarah Parish, Charlie Higson and Mark Bazeley who take significant roles in the eight part series to be co-produced for ITV by Kudos, Imaginary Friends and Sister Pictures.

Arthur Darvill also returns as local Vicar Paul Coates, Carolyn Pickles as newspaper editor Maggie Radcliffe and Adam Wilson as Ellie’s son Tom.

The new series will herald a brand new case for Miller and Hardy with the detectives reuniting to investigate a serious sexual assault.

“This is the final chapter of Broadchurch,” said Chris Chibnall. “We have one last story to tell, featuring both familiar faces and new characters. I hope it’s a compelling and emotional farewell to a world and show that means so much to me.”

The series explores the consequences of a serious sexual assault as a Dorset community comes under the scrutiny of Hardy and Miller’s investigation. Based on a year of research with Dorset-based organisations who specialise in dealing with victims of sexual assault, and police advisors who specialise in investigating crimes of sexual violence, Broadchurch’s final chapter looks at the emotional cost to all of those involved and the irreparable damage to friendships and relationships.

ITV’s former Director of Drama Steve November and Controller of Drama Victoria Fea have commissioned the new series.

“Broadchurch is as ever stylishly written, provocative and thought provoking,” said Victoria. “We’re pleased with the direction Chris and Jane have taken this series and the extraordinary cast they’ve assembled.”

Broadchurch will be executive produced by Chris Chibnall (Malaterra, The Great Train Robbery, Torchwood) for Imaginary Friends and Jane Featherstone (River, Humans, Gracepoint) for Sister Pictures. Dan Winch (Indian Summers II, What We did On Our Holiday) will produce the final series. Broadchurch is a co-production with Kudos, an Endemol Shine Group company.

“Broadchurch has been an important part of my life and I am so delighted and privileged to be working with Chris and the team again as we embark on the very final series,” said Jane Featherstone. “We will return to the town and characters we know so well as they find themselves caught up in a new and compelling story which will test the strength of the community and the people who live there, and will, I hope, be a fitting end to this trilogy.”

On behalf of co-producers Kudos Chief Executive Officer Diederick Santer said:

“Kudos are delighted to be working in partnership with Chris and Jane once again, on what promises to be the thrilling final chapter of Broadchurch.”

The series will be directed by Paul Andrew Williams (The Eichmann Show, Murdered by My Boyfriend), Daniel Nettheim (Doctor Who, Humans, Line of Duty) and Lewis Arnold (Banana, Prey, Humans).

Filming will commence this summer in Bridport, West Bay and Clevedon, which have featured as locations in Broadchurch series one and two.

More Broadchurch news will follow to ensure the media are kept informed of specific character and plot developments.

Note to Editors: The Shores (Dorset’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre) and Dorset Rape Crisis have supported and advised Chris Chibnall throughout writing the scripts for this series of Broadchurch.

Recently finished watching this :D

I loved the first and third series, but the second just draaaaagged. Like, who care about Ten's past case and those annoying defence lawyers? S3 was better, with Thirteen doing the charity work and them trying to solve Hayley's rape etc
