Broadchurch new series.

DH just said, "Broadchurch is on tonight. I can't seem to follow it, can you?" I know this meant that he didn't want to be bothered watching it anymore. I replied that I couldn't follow it, either.....but I was going to watch it anyway. A bit like Tegan - just to get it out of the way !

I can't stop now, it's like reading a book that you are not really enjoying, can't follow but have to finish!

The S.O. said last night that he thought it was the last episode tonight and I was quite relieved only to find that he'd got it wrong .

I'm still enjoying it! Nothing much left now Last Tango in Halifax has finished...(not interested in Wolf Hall)

I did think that last week's episode was much better, so will watch it again tonight.So many red herrings to throw us off the scent, I'm not sure who has done what with who[we shall see!]

Did anything actually happen tonight ? All style and no substance..think I'll give it a miss next week .

So, hang on.....The defence barrister's junior is so desperate for sex she is having a fling with the defendant's nephew (by marriage)

Really?

Can we do a sort of family tree thingy of who's sleeping with who ?

Wasn't she just (or additionally!) trying to find some evidence. merot?

I'm still intrigued, but could do without the other murder sub-plot. Eve whatsit and her whippet-thin lover haven't engaged me at all.

(Sorry - merlot)

My brain hurts! - and my ears. I have probably said this before, but I find it very hard to hear what they are saying - and I do not have a problem with other programmes. It is most annoying.

I got a bit lost in the last scene in the underground car park - who the hell were they? Hardy's wife and lover??

You could be right, Ana. I think I'm going to have to watch this one again on iPlayer.

Yes, Mishap, it was a flashback showing what had happened to cause Hardy to be banished to Devon - he'd taken the blame for losing evidence although it was actually his wife who'd left the locket in the car and gone off for a bonk tryst with her lover.

Good job you're keeping up, Ana

I know - I frighten myself sometimes!

Mishap I've been watching with subtitles on (DH is a bit Mutt and Jeff) and I still don't understand what's going on. But then, given the events of the last 48 hours, I think I've admirably demonstrated that anyway

wanders off to check she's turned the gas off

I THINK I understand it, but it is quite interesting anyway, so I will watch next week just to see if I am right - the other half seems to have lost the plot altogether, and it is too complicated to keep explaining to him!

We're still watching it, but only so that DW and I can play "spot the filming location that you recognise". We gave up on the plot weeks ago.

I saw the first two episodes and then missed four weeks. Thought I'd watch last night as there was nothing else on.
Apart from the necklace thing, nothing seemed to have changed much!
So glad she lost her rag with her son, he has a very irritating smirk!!

Just to update you, Lona, as you missed so much:

Ellie has been suspended from her job as traffic cop as she was never at work and not bringing in enough revenue for D&C Constabulary to pay her
Fred's childminder has taken him off to live in NZ as she is the only one who cared about him
Alec had some really bad dentistry when he was under the anaesthetic and now his speech is less understandable than ever
He has also been suspended from work because he is never there
Claire and Lee have gone off into the sunset together to star in a remake of 'The Odd Couple'
Both barristers have been suspended because they have been consorting with the press
The judge lost her rag sorry - wig
Somehow, despite the fact that Beth and Mark never see each other, she is pregnant again.
Susan Wright is the mother of the vicar and they dunnit.

Apart from that nothing much happened
ps the above is about as believable as the plot

[ grin] [ wink]

bugger oh dear

Thanks rose, I did notice the judge had no wig at one point! Beth's pregnant again??!! Is that another of your porkies?

I love it! Thanks.

rose; !!!

I think the lovely actress who plays Beth is pregnant; I thought they were giving her a realistic post-baby little tum, but then I saw her on Breakfast last week!

Me, tell porkies?
