Whilst season 2 of “Broadchurch” is still up for the
people’s jury to decide upon its critical merit, I thought I would cast a
thought back to the original show. It began as a story where the body of a
young boy was found on the beach of the fictional Dorset coastal town,
Broadchurch. DS Ellie Miller (Oliver Coleman) returns from holiday to discover
that her application for a promotion to the rank of Detective Investigator has
been blocked by the employment of DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant). The young boy
is the best friend of Miller’s son, creating an even great strain on the whole
investigation. As frustration mounts to discover the identity of the child’s
killer, the secret backgrounds of various characters are revealed.
