Broadchurch - now that's more like a drama

I can't resist looking at this thread. You'll have to talk in code, if you work out who it is, Mishap! I want to work it out and have the smug satisfaction of knowing whodunnit before anyone else!

Interesting episode last night. Naughty Mark!

Who is lying about the plumbing job at the holiday cottage? - Mark or the Pauline Quirke character (who has a skateboard in her cupboard - ?is it Danny's)?

What does Danny's little friend know that he isn't saying?

Where do the drugs come in?

It's a long time till next Monday!

Is Mishap secretly the scriptwriter?

No way grumppa I think,Mishaps theory is the best one so far.

There probably won't be an award as such Mishap but image how impressed we will all be, surely that is reward enough.

ggrumpa what a devious mind you have.....or do you?

I'm convinced the murderer is the Detective Inspector. He obviously made a hash of his last child murder investigation, and has hatched a cunning plan which involves him murdering the Latimer boy and pinning the blame on someone else (the Detective Sergeant?) to show that he's good at his job.

Pure guesswork - do I get some sort of GN Award if it turns out to be right?!

Well Mishap you really threw me with that one. That's brilliant. Have you by any chance "read the book"?

Oh no! I'll have to stop reading this thread if everyone's going to start guessing and giving away things I might have missed...

Oh! That's a good one ,Mishap.I hadn't thought of that !

I think that the postie is the father of Beth Latimer's baby, and that the row between him and Danny was because Danny had seen them together. We wait and see!!

Has anyone got any early ideas on whodunnit? Obviously it is cleverly written so that anyone could be the murderer but just wondered if anyone fancied a wager just for fun?

I know its not the Pauline Quirke character (with the skateboard in the closet) that is just too obvious, or is it?

I'm really hooked on this, it's a long time since I have felt this way about a home grown series There have been so many disappointments lately where one episode has been truly enough, Mayday, Ripper Street that Mr Selfridge thing, I haven't stuck with any of them. They all seem mediocre compared to Borgen and The Killing etc. Glad to think a British made drama can still crank up the tension, looking forward to Monday's episode now.

All these questions, and more, will probably not be answered in next week's episode of.....

Thoroughly enjoying it! Almost OTT in that everyone seems to have a secret, but none the worse for that.

I too wish it was less than a week between episodes.

And what was that skateboard doing in the cupboard of Pauline Quirkes caravan? And is the baby the mother is expecting her husbands? And where was he really when he said he was were he wasn't? And what about the fingerprint match in the beach hut? Will the David Tennant character get back in touch with the psychic telephone engineer???????????????

I. Love it but a. Week between episodes is trying my patience, I really want to know what they will find next.love David Tennant .

Caught up with this on the laptop today (both episodes) and loving it! So many people with something to hide, talk about hornets' nest! David Tennant being mean and moody - and with his own baggage - lots to titillate us over the next few weeks!

That was certainly the case, JoanJett, when my DS did a paper round - he was desperate to be 13. Same with my GD, only 8 years ago.

I do like it but something's niggling me. Am I being picky but I thought you couldn't have a paper round until you were 13.

Really enjoying this. Gave up on Mayday after the first episode.

Shaping up nicely

Loving it!!

That review was helpful. Thanks. I thought I hadn't grasped everything as there's so much going on, but I think I'm up to speed. If only we could have drama series like this very night of the week!

It's certainly something to look forward to on a Monday night. I've a feeling I'm going to miss it when it ends!

Not sure if I can stand six more episodes of David Tennant's character, and the obvious dropping of clues, but it's still a good serial.

I shall persevere!
