BROADCHURCH mon 9pm itv thread 2

[DuelingFanjo]

Is it ok for me to start a new thread.

Can anyone tell me why Ellie says about Will Mellor's character:

"if you go into the bookshop in town all his books are in there"?
he is KNOWN to the police for this, plus the petty convictions, vehicle theft and conspiracy to defraud, they say in EP 4. So why is he allowed to write and sell these books?

Not long now.

Oh Fruit, sorry I had baby on my lap last night so couldn't type very much but what I meant was, thankyou for starting the new thread, it's a really good idea, but I am a lazy cow who can't cope with all those newbies on there so I'm going to hide here with my sun hat and dark glasses on and pretend that it's just us lot

ONE MORE SLEEP !

I think actually I'm too excited/scared to watch it. I feel like I KNOW those people. I think it'll be very emotional somehow

Mark is a sweetie, it isn't Mark
Nigel - who knows?
Joe, I just don't think he could, but then again everything points to it.
Beth, well I'm beginning to wonder.

Lucy knows something. Vicar knows something, clearly.
We need to know what they know, it should help.

People seem to keep suggesting that there are two killers.

I can't help but think Mark and Beth - but why? What would their motive be?

BOF completely agree - feel an irrational connection to everyone on this thread, and anxious that no-one eats shellfish tonight and too ill to watch tomorrow....
Have watched the other episonde on itvplayer, but will have to watch live tomorrow as will not be able to stay away from the thread

I think Chloe Latimer threw a sickie the day Danny was found as she had been up so late the night before. Which makes 3 out of 4 members of the Latimer family out that night. In fact it looks like only Beth was in bed asleep.

I too will be sad when this is over. I haven't been on tenterhooks like this since the last episode of Ashes to Ashes.

Please let there be a a follow up or another one!

We had a couple round for dinner last night and I casually mentioned did they watch Broadchurch. Her face lit up, talk about animated He didn't watch it. Neither does dp as he works nightshift. We were in the zone for a while after that discussing it.

I still think the Latimer's have more secrets to share. The Gran hasn't been seen since Jack died, is that right?

Yes. I agree Ashes to Ashes was the last drama I was so obsessed with.

I may be late starting to watch it tomorrow as Mondays are manic for us. But should only be 10 mins or so behind. I'll be checking in finale thread in adverts. There is a chance i'll miss something crucial when Mnetting.

I REALLY want the discovery moment to be on par with 'Usual Suspects' when it didn't click for me right until the Copper worked it out.

I'll be tweeting & following banter on twitter too. I've made Broadchurch friends there too

If any of you on here haven't seen the first series of The Killing (the original not the US version), then I reckon you'd love it. It was the first to do this format - long series looking about the same crime, really focusing on the family, many different suspects, lots of false leads, really getting to know the detectives. Broadchurch is written in the same template.

If you're getting Broadchurch withdrawal symptoms after tomorrow, buy the box set and fall in love with Lund and her fabulous jumpers! The second and third series weren't as good as the first, although still very watchable. The Bridge was very good (and similar in structure) too.

We watched all 20 eps in a fortnight. DH & I became obsessed.

DH refused to watch Broadchurch because it's in English & 'ITV is shit'

fruit that's exactly what my DH said about Broadchurch too!
He does watch it but simultaneously plays on his phone, whereas the scandi-dramas get his full attention. He does quite like it because of the scenery though, as we've stayed in West Bay where it's filmed.

I'm convinced that the reason they're so great is that you can't do ANYTHING else as you need to concentrate on the subtitles.

It means you can get totally engrossed without playing on phone etc.

TBF it's no The Killing. Same with Downton Abbey, bit of a poor man's version of classic sagas. They're both still addictive though.

I haven't read all the theories on here, but I'm desperate to get your opinions on this.

I was thinking about police woman, the way she treated Pauline Qurke saying "how did you not know" (what your husband did to your daughters). Made me think about whether there was something going on in her family, under her nose, that she had failed to notice too. Although that perhaps is just a subplot.... I'm intrigued for tomorrow.

I second recommending 'The Killing'. I loved all three series...

I tried watching a bit of the Killing last year but it was all in Danish and I couldn't read the subtitles very well.

Is there a solution to this? My friend's Danish and of course he watched it no problem

I will feel very much bereft when this finishes I think.

Not posted on here before but need to write my thoughts down before new ones come into my head!

Thought 1 will mellor psychic man is responsible for both broadchurch and sandbrook murders which is why he knows so much (he cried when hardy threw him out of the latimers house and seemed very agitated). Plus i think he's somehow connected to hardy as he knew he'd been to broadchurch before.

Thought 2
It's susan (pauline quirke) was she somehow responsible for her first daughters death? (Maybe jealous that she was sleeping with her husband so she killed her but framed him?-maybe in whitby!?!) then maybe she found the other daughter in sandbrook and killed her too, now she's found nigel and wanted to kill him but killed danny by mistake and is now trying to frame nigel.

If it turns out to be joe and tom then i'll know i've been thinking way too much and it's seriously affecting my ability to do housework!

this is actually worse than waiting for an interview

WAAAAHHHH!

No more sleeps.

If you had to put your money on ONE person, not involved indirectly through complicated theories but the one who strangled him, who would it be? (Don't give reasons)

Mine is Mark

Today's the day. Woop!

Oooohhh DM only have 5 characters pictured online as suspects.... (I'm seeing clues everywhere now!) and under the vicars pic it says he assaulted a young boy... did I miss that reveal?

He did????

yes Paul has previous for assaulting a young boy when drunk. It did not say it was sexual, so it may not have been. Paul now goes to AA meetings.

Northumberlandlass- if I was forced to say one name it would be Tom.
