Broadchurch - now that's more like a drama

No, that's what I was thinking, anno. I don't think he shot the dog.

Isn't the man with the crossbow another red herring? Did he really shoot the dog? We didn't see the body, or at least I didn't.

sunflower I've often wondered about my husband too!

I love it this week - apart from the dog bit, turned over for a minute as can't watch that I agree, man who took the dog did it - must be a baddie.

Really... still don't know. Don't think it was the vicar now. Still wondering about Ellas' husband and why did her son say he hated Danny? Was he jealous of Dannys relationship with someone? Or was Danny forcing him to do something bad?

Ergo man who didn't love beautiful dog and shot it is the killer anno. Solved

Why did it take a journalist to suss out Susan Wright's history? Wouldn't the police have traced her straight away on the PNC? Anyway, she loved her dog so she can't be the killer.

I'm with you, Ella. Morse would have solved it, audibly, in two hours.

Is it too much to hope that the David Tennant detective is dead? I know he was my original suspect, but his combination of unintelligibility with incompetence is becoming too much to bear.

I find it hard to hear some of what is being said - so does OH. We keep turning it up.

I wonder if the vicar will find the deleted files. Nasty man who (spoiler coming) shot dog has always been a bit of a suspect.

I now have no clue at all whodunnit!

Ella! Were you watching the same episode as the rest of us?

Nooooo! Tonight got really exciting!!!

Well, I couldn't understand half of what was said tonight, mainly by DT.
If it goes any slower it'll stop.

Yes, I thought it was a really good episode tonight - things are moving fast! That boy holds the key to the reason Danny was killed....

Things are hotting up! Don't want to be a spoiler, but shame about the labrador (I never liked that man) You knw it's good when you put your hands over your ears and shut your eyes!!!
What about David Tennant too? Can't wait for next week!!

Grannyma - I hadn't thought of that twist, that would be awful. I'm useless at staying awake for anything that starts at 9pm so have to keep up with it on the computer. Sadly, we don't have Catch-up TV. I do think that 8 weeks is a bit long though. I'm sure it will do absolute wonders for tourism in Dorset - links to the Venice in Peril blog on here.

It's just the length of time to do the ironing, so I record it and do what grannyhaggis does with the advertisements!

Definitely a not to be missed programme on a Monday evening!
Even better if it's recorded and you can fast forward all the adverts!

I hope they don't wreck it by the villain being someone we don't know yet! The acting (and the writing) is great. Olivia Coleman gets more weary every episode.

We put the subtitles on.

I'm completely confused -and also have trouble hearing some of the dialogue and with the background music .Might have to rerun all the episodes on Catch-up before the next episode -if I can rouse the enthusiasm!

I'm enjoying it but it is dreadfully slooooow - or is it because we watch too many US dramas [I don't actually, but I do channel hop a fair bit on occasion]. So, the newsagent is not the murderer. I guessed that from Day 1 - too obvious. What a sad little tale his story was. I wonder what the relationship is between the PQ character and the plumber's mate. 'Ellie's' son is definitely hiding something and then there's all this fuss about mobile phones and boats now. I must say I found last night's episode with the crowd baying for the newsagent's blood scary - too realistic. It's just what people do even though they don't have any proper evidence.

I watched the end of Jonathan Creek afterwards and found that very contrived...

Or the journalist! Or the children whose game went wrong and they had to cover it up. The little boy knows something. Going away soon, wish they'd get on with it!

I got The Killing the first week but I did enjoy the way they gave you a suspect- built them up as guilty & then showed they were innocent- which is what Broadchurch does.
Haven't got it yet although I did wonder at the start about the plumber's mate- probably too obvious.
I expect Pauline Quirk will be shown as innocent next week.
It will probaly be the policeman who asked Olivia Colman out last night.

I haven't even noticed the music- what music??

Too many red herrings, too dragged out and that is not a Dorset accent, no one has said 'where's that to ?' for example. Which is pure Dorset. Someone said holidaymakers - it's grockles!!!

I'm beginning to wonder why DT is in it at all? Can't understand him and he doesn't seem to do much
I think it needs to speed up or I'm offski

Of course!
