Broadchurch thread 2- the one where everyone in MNPD requests a transfer to the traffic division

[EauRouge]

Thread number one.

So are we all still watching, despite the mumbling, bad writing and inaccuracies?

I'm not sure what ClaireGwen is up to, but they've written her to like kinky sex which in telly land means she's a bad un.

Last night's highlight for me was DH's genuine confusion over whether subtitles were for the hearing impaired or vision impaired (he may have had a couple of beers). Also sweaty Lee hammering in fence posts.

Has that junior solicitor fella been in something on CBBC?

When does The Missing season 2 start?

Joe did it.
Joe did it
Joe did it
JOE DID IT

We saw him do it. He confessed to it. Then he pleaded not guilty because he didn't want to go to prison as a paedo. Not because he didn't do, HE DID.

That confession got thrown out, in very dubious legal circumstances, so that means the prosecution have to prove he did it, and due to police fuck ups, people lying in the dock, etc it's very much a case of will he/won't he get convinced.

That's the entire point of Broadchurch 2.

So who do you think did it seaoflove .

Yes the whodunnit is the Sandbrook thing surely?

toasted When you said 15yr old boyfriend did you mean Tom? Because I thought Tom and Danny were the same age.

What we saw WASN'T a dramatisation of his confession. I watched it a few weeks ago. It was presented as "59 days earlier".

Oh. I got the wrong naked man blush
Love that line Blondeshavemorefun will find a time use that in RL

I think I have come round to agreeing that in fact Joe did it, but this is more about the messiness that happens after - and that convictions are by means assured.
Usual formula is awhodunnit where Poirot/Marple/Wimsey/my own dear Salvo clear the whole thing up in two hours- end of.
Here is the messy stuff that comes after, and nothwithstanding the legal system nonsense people have spotted - the victims' rellies etc still have a horrible time in the justice system - look at the awfulness we have seen in RL with Milly Dowler family/Stephen Lawrence family etc.
Having been a bit 'meh' with BC2, am coming round to it as a raggedy-edge drama.
And still just love to watch OC, DT and Beth.

Oh none of this makes sense. I have officially given up trying to understand it.

They aren't really police people when they talk to Claire are they? No notes about the interviews - unless they are recording it all?

I quite like how it makes you question whether or not Joe did it. Although we know he did, makes you realise how difficult it must be to be on a Jury.

I'm confused! are acting as police or pretending to be still on the case? Hasn't miller taken up a post with traffic police and isn't hardy a police training lecturer now because of his health problems?

Annie - I guess they have leave because of the trial?

I'm so confused, but it's got me gripped again! What episode is this, how many more to go?

Because PQ was a terrible witness in court and it was all helpers fault for some reason.

Who the hell is she????

The helper was supposed to prep PQ for the questioning.

Who are the parents of the blonde haired toddler called Fred??

The one that Colman and Tennant are looking after, I don't remember either of them having a baby?!

Ellie and Joe.

Anyone think Hardy is going to keel over in the witness box.

Who was that woman talking to the priest? And why is none of this recorded?

But Ellie and Joe's baby is almost a newborn this one is a toddler?

Was also going to ask who baby Fred belongs to!

She might realise he was ill if the music was less noisy
