    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode seven – whose DNA is on sock No 2?

    A masterclass from the Scandi school of drama – superbly plotted and with a fine cliffhanger ahead of the finale. But will it be Twine Boy, Taxi Man – or the Hannibal Lecter-esque vicar?
  • Still none the wiser … and there’s so much riding on the next two episodes, it’s almost impossible to bear.

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode six – the strangest stalker in all of Wessex

    This week in the coastal crime hotspot, an odd obsession and a porn hub are revealed – and there’s still 42 suspects left standing. Are we being led a merry dance? Just two weeks till we know for sure
  • Heading for breakdown? Kelly Gough, Olivia Colman and David Tennant in Broadchurch.

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode five – never lie about mackerel

    The net of potential suspects widens further – as does the number of potential victims. Are the crimes linked, perhaps even with earlier Broadchurch storylines?
  • Broadchurch.

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode four – massive skin crawl alert

    I’ve given up trying to remember all the suspects by now, but the convicted rapist was unforgettably creepy … as was the tasteless town football match
  • ‘I made it all up … my wife has been raped and I don’t know where I was.” Blimey.

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode three – only 98 red herrings this week. Do keep up!

    Every man in town is now a suspect in Trish’s rape case – and the police are doing some dubious work. Can it really be productive to track condom purchases?
  • Broadchurch.

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode two – come on down, Suspect No 587

    From condom man to the prince of twine, the suspects are piling up – and driving a wedge between Hardy and Miller. Welcome back to great, gripping Broadchurch
  • Broadchurch

    Broadchurch recap: series three, episode one – an eerie and very promising start

    Miller and Hardy return for their last ever case – a rape by an unknown attacker – with an extraordinarily intricate and often dark-humoured hour
  • Charlotte Rampling

    Charlotte Rampling: ‘You can’t fool an audience with lots of bits and pieces. You have to lead them somewhere’

    The Broadchurch star on our fear of wolves, the joy of working with English actors and her ‘iconic’ image
  • Broadchurch … great acting but was the script up to it?

    Broadchurch recap: season two finale – episode eight

    The acting was first rate, as all the loose ends were finally tied up – although perhaps not as neatly as some would have liked
  • David Tennant as Alex Hardy in Broadchurch

    Broadchurch recap: season two, episode seven – an uneven penultimate episode

    While there was little progress at court, the pieces are falling into place in the Sandbrook enquiry. At least Hardy’s operation means he’ll be able to chase after folk in the finale
  • Families were at the forefront this week.

    Broadchurch recap: series two, episode six

    At last, the (heavily laid) plot strands are starting to weave themselves together. Are we in store for a satisfying ending after all?
  • Jodie Whittaker as Beth.

    Broadchurch recap: series two, episode five

    There was still plenty of clunky exposition and ponderous legal jousting this week – at least things looked pretty, though
  • Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Sharon Bishop.

    Broadchurch recap: series two, episode four

    Vicky Frost’s episode blog: The return of Vince the dog was about the only good thing this leaden episode had going for it. Is there any hope for Broadchurch?
  • Eve Myles as Claire Ripley/

    Broadchurch recap: series two, episode three

    Vicky Frost’s episode blog: Can Olivia Colman and Eve Myles’ on-screen rapport banish all thoughts of ‘procedural inconsistencies’ and factual errors?
  • Olivia Colman and David Tennant.

    Broadchurch recap: series two, episode two – this fight isn't going to be pretty

    Vicky Frost’s episode blog: As the crime drama morphs into a courtroom one (sort of), the loose strands of series one are woven into the new story
  • Broadchurch murder on back burner

    Broadchurch season two, episode one review - an ingeniously seamless reboot

    David Tennant and Olivia Colman remain the highlight for now as the show’s two-year hiatus ends with a slight shift in genre
