Broadchurch, UK Killing-style TV drama 04 March 2013

[Anna]

But I'm a bit puzzled about where Hardy collapsed: it looked as if he was going into a ground-floor apartment, but was rescued by the Hotel owner who had been alerted by the people "below" who complained about the noise. What happened - or is this going to be a clue?

This puzzled me as well, then I wondered if it was just a side door to the hotel for residents, the main entrance being locked as it was late? Or else we've both missed sometlhing.
I am definitely hooked (but the ads are driving me daft) and have no idea whodunnit, too many red herrings at the moment ... just hoping the ending justifies watching for eight episodes and isn't a neat cop out in the last 15 minutes like Dancing on the Edge was!

I particularly liked the way Hardy and Miller's husband "clicked" at the dinner - brought in a new aspect of both characters.

... and Olivia Coleman's pitch-perfect delivery of Miller's mock-grumpy response to her husband afterwards: "you and new bloody best friend" (or words to that effect)

... a wonderful, beguiling series that looked as if it was headed for an intense climax, when suddenly - everything was all right again! It was so disappointing: like having the slow movement of Bruckner's 8th with the Coda removed and replaced with Shave and a haircut: two bits!

No doubting acting and some of the dialogues quality....but some of the police methods do not pass creduity....(if there is such a word)....pool of blood out back of head and straight back to work....as you do....

And what about Pauline Quirke's rape threat?!

I was watching on iPlayer and had to stop the player to take that in <shudder>

That was totally chilling ..... and she has the missing skateboard in her wardrobe and she and Nige (the plumber's mate) have some dark secret ...

Ooooh Anna!! You'll need a strong arm around your shoulders as you watch subsequent episodes!!

I'm free!

That's very disappointing about Nige - a man who knows his way around a U-bend AND can rustle up a mean roast beef dinner is worth his weight I'd say

Fear not Anna, I'm sending a copy of this message to The Law Society. The very idea - free indeed

Well Duckie - I reckon Caliban often provides such services as a strong arm around the shoulders Pro Bono
There's a Jules and Sand joke in there somewhere .........

Crumbs! YES!!

Pauline Quirke is a super actress, but her "psycho" side (remember her in The Sculptress? ) is truly insinuating!

[amateur51]

Episode 5 had a good few surprises but I found the editorialising music more of an annoyance than previously.Three episodes to go, we need some firmer clues soon I reckon - what about the vicar who's also good at accounts?

Nige seems to be going a bit overboard too while Pauline Quirke is lining up young Tom for dog-walking duties, but is that all?

Only just caught up with that thread.... Pro Bona, Jules! jumped into my head too, reading Ammy's preceding post!

Pauline Quirke is lining up young Tom

Or is it the other way round?
