Looking at listings ITV Encore are repeating Broadchurch series 1 from tomorrow (10 Nov) at 9pm airing one episode a week, meaning we could see series 2 starting on 5 January 2015 if it airs on a Monday again.
IIRC ITV Encore repeated Downton Abbey series 1-4 which finished on 19 Sept 2014 ready for series 5 on 21 Sept 2014.
Nothing irritates more than these stupid hashtags for TV shows. You see them splashed all over the screen on American shows, I hope to Christ we won't be going the same way.
It's like they'd rather have everyone on Twitter talking about it than have people actually sit and watch and stay focused solely on the programme.
I enjoyed Broadchurch, for what it was. Some very good performances. Not as good as some would have you believe, but certainly better than a lot of British drama in the past few years. Is a scond series necessary? I'm not so sure.
I don't think Gracepoint is that bad. The problem is everyone is comparing it to the original.
I watched about 10 minutes of Gracepoint - it looked like a parody. If they'd added a laugh track it might have worked on Adult Swim but as a serious drama I thought it was woeful.
Not so much me comparing it to Broadchurch - just any generic American cop show
It should be something like that as how would Colman and Tennant still be in it (If they are) Her hubby did it and Tennant retired or got kicked out didn't he?
I lost the will to live at the end so doubt I will watch the 2 series.
I thought ITV were supposed to be airing Gracepoint at some point? Perhaps with the news tonight that Broadchurch is back in January, we won't see Gracepoint until after that has aired?
Not really a spoiler; just my own speculation but better to be safe than sorry
RE: #theendiswhereitbegins
When we were first introduced to Broadchurch, so was Alec Hardy (David Tennant). Perhaps we will leave it for good as Alec dies. It ends with him as it started with him.
I'm also intrigued to see what they'll do this time. I remember reading an interview with Chris Chibnall in which he said he viewed Broadchurch as being more about the characters and how their small town reacts to a murder, rather than the "whodunit?" aspect. I don't share that view. For me, the appeal of Broadchurch Series 1 was the "whodunit?" and I'm not sure how I'll feel if Series 2 is lacking that. I can see why they wouldn't do another murder because the characters wouldn't react quite the same as they did the first time, having been through it before but will Chris Chibnall manage to maintain our interest in characters we only got to know for 8 hours (which is only around 2 weeks in soap land) last time? We'll see.
Im facing the prospect of Broadchurch 2 with dread because of the "season 2 syndrome".
I loved Broadchurch, as I loved The Fall and Peaky Blinders. However Im not enjoying the second seasons of either as much, and Im now expecting a similar reaction to Broadchurch 2...and also True Detective.
The first seasons are so good and strong in their originality.They innovate and are complete in themselves as Dramas. But second seasons become "indulgence" where the balance changes, maybe over the pressures of interested parties for commercial success. Whatever, I found both Peaky Blinders 2 and The Fall 2 to become self- indulgent and less interesting.
I wish shows would have the courage to stop at one season....more like "Life on Mars", although i recognise there was the spin off, Ashes to Ashes.

Tenannt will hope it gets a third season as his second foray into American tv has failed, Gracepoint sucks.😄

Exactly what I thought.
Why bother watching a series you don't like?

I just hope it doesn't feel like an unnecessary add-on.

As I said, I love police dramas.
I love comedies, doesn't mean I'll force myself to sit through one I don't like.
