Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
 

Just a slight detour here....but has anyone else been watching Broadchurch on ITV??? I started watching it when I got 'Tunnelbear' and got hooked after the first episode. Apart from the fact I think David Tennant is the sexiest thing on two legs. LOL

So I've seen all 5 episodes so far and can't wait for next week to watch the next one. Any clues on who you think is the killer?? :) :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Broadchurch
 

The lady detectives husband.

Where was it filmed?

Re: Broadchurch
 

Now that would be a shocker ! LOL I'm more inclined towards the lady (Susan), the woman with the dog. :rofl:

It was filmed predominantly on the Jurassic Coast at West Bay in Dorset, with the town of Clevedon just outside Bristol doubling as the fictional town of Broadchurch, with interior scenes of the police station shot in studios in Bristol.

Re: Broadchurch
 

yes it's a good show. I've watched all episodes. what channels do you get with TunnelBear. Do you get Channel 4? I mainly watch BBC and free stuff on ITV plus my Netflix account..

Re: Broadchurch
 

I usually stick to BBC and ITV, but I think you can get the majority of them so long as you don't try to watch a live program. :)

Re: Broadchurch
 

I changed my viewing habits after my brother died. cancelled cable and have a Roku box but not set up yet. Quite happy just using computer to view telly. I'm catching up on NetFlix at the Wallander series with Kenneth Branagh then going to watch Swedish version which is the original.

Re: Broadchurch
 

How long does it take for new episodes to show up on Netflix?? Am just curious because with Tunnelbear I can watch an episode of a show just a few hours after it's shown live in the UK. :) Especially as I'm a Corrie and Broadchurch fan and neither of which are on Netflix :(

Re: Broadchurch
 

that is the not so good thing about NetFlix doesn't show newest and most up to date. I think Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus do that. I read somewhere that I think NetFlix has signed deal with Time Warner Cable or Warner Bros so good things may come from that. Other shows I like like HGTV stuff I just go directly to that channel.. Only thing I really miss is just being able to turn on and watch is CNN but not big deal.

Re: Broadchurch
 

I think that's why I picked Tunnelbear ! :) You pay $4.99 per month, but then you can connect to the UK and load up everything from BBC to ITV to any other iplayer you want from elsewhere and watch UK TV without the restriction of that horrible little box popping up that says 'This video is not available in your country'. Works for any UK video, preview that you usually can't see. Anything other than live TV that is, because it comes up and asks if you have a TV licence.. lol Then when you want to go back to the US again you just flip the switch and search the US. LOL

Re: Broadchurch
 

Why would you want to load them on to another iPlayer when you can watch them from ITV and BBC? I didn't know there were other iPlayers out there.

Re: Broadchurch
 

I use Hola. It's free and you can watch 'live' UK TV as well as catch up. I've been watching Broadchurch and enjoying it. It was hard for me to watch the first episode or two but now it's less about the boy's death and parents, and more about Whodunit.

I haven't ruled anyone out yet except Jack and Beth. We'll probably find out it was them in cahoots.

Re: Broadchurch
 

I just meant 'players' that other channels might have (none BBC or ITV). Sorry if that sounds confusing, I just can't think of another way to put it.. LOL

Re: Broadchurch
 

You can watch live TV?? I tried that, but I got that lovely little message asking me if I had a TV licence and I was too scared to click on any of the boxes just in case.. :rofl:

Hmmm I guess we will find out soon enough...probably get more clues in the next episode now that one of the suspects is no longer in the picture. :(

Re: Broadchurch
 

What about the vicar? he's bit odd character and I am not saying it because he is of the Church just the character..

Re: Broadchurch
 

True...and don't forget he overlooks their house and is often seen standing in the doorway - creepy !!

Although the lady Detective's son has got some explaining to do...he deleted all the phone messages and files, so what's that all about???

Re: Broadchurch
 

Thanks for the tip :thumbsup:

I am definitely going to try and catch up to see what the son is up deleting phone messages and files like this, how dares he ;)

Re: Broadchurch
 

I got a bit distracted watching the first episode and never did get back to it I'm afraid. I'm thinking I might have to have a mooch around and try and catch up with it on youtube or something.

Re: Broadchurch
 

I wasn't too sure about the first episode, but I have now been drawn in and I am quite enjoying it.

Re: Broadchurch
 

You don't need to look on YouTube. As you're in the UK, all you need to do is go to www.itv.co.uk/iplayer and look for Broadchurch and it will let you catch up on all 5 episodes shown so far and then next Monday you can watch it live :D :thumbsup:

Re: Broadchurch
 

:thumbsup:

It might be red herring to divert you from the real suspect but you never know.. :rofl:

Re: Broadchurch
 

Great thanks I didn't even look on the player as I thought it would only be the latest episode that was left on there.

Re: Broadchurch
 

They have lots of 'catch up' episodes for all the different shows :) Thats why I like it so much.. LOL :)

Re: Broadchurch
 

Last night I found another good show...this time on Netflix and it's an oldie but a goodie. Monarch of the glen! I'd heard of it before, but never got around to watching it, so last night I watched 3 episodes back to back until I couldn't stay awake any longer.

Add to that the fun of chasing 3 huge spiders around the place, landing heavily on one knee as I was chasing one before it hid under the TV cabinet and ending up with a huge bruise...my night was pretty good ! So tonight I think I'm going to curl up and watch a few more episodes :D

Re: Broadchurch
 

I enjoyed that series too. Especially Hector and Kilwillie. I have just started watching The Village and The Syndicate on BBC. Quite enjoyable. Can't remember if I mentioned that the new series of Scott & Bailey started this week.:)

Re: Broadchurch
 

Yes, I saw that The Village started last night...so hope I can watch it on my iplayer later today :)

I miss the late, great Richard Briers!!

Re: Broadchurch
 

Fantastic show. I saw Olivia Coleman interviewed about the show a couple of weeks ago. She was saying that the whole cast and crew didn't know who did it until the final episode. I have no idea who did it, still too many questions to answer.

Re: Broadchurch
 

whofan - are you using Tunnelbear? hola.org which i use to watch ITV and BBC has issues in that can't access BBC so Hola for me is a waste of time. I think you said you pay $4.99 per month. Can you let me know? Also is it month to month? Just considering my options.. Only spend less than $9 bucks for Netflix per month.

Re: Broadchurch
 

True...and if the cast and crew didn't know then I guess we're going to have to wait until the end as well. :( I think there are either 3 or 4 more to go !

Re: Broadchurch
 

Yes I use Tunnelbear :) I like it very much, because I can watch UK shows on BBC or ITV a few hours after they've been televised live, so it's almost like being there - ALMOST ! :rofl:

It is only $4.99 per month and month to month, the same as Netflix. The only difference is Netflix doesn't have the more up to date episodes as it takes a while for them to go onto Netflix, and they don't have the more newer UK shows.

Re: Broadchurch
 

Ugh, I am going to have to download something on my computer to access this programme!!! But my computer didn't like the look of hola, and I've been nervous to try anything else. Tunnelbear you say, Whofan?

And I have just blown my screen and I am now plugged into the tv until I get another computer. Any recommendations on laptops that are good at streaming video?

Anyone see Spies of Warsaw? Was not overly impressed, but I hear really good things about Broadchurch so really impatient to see it.

Re: Broadchurch
 

I really like Broadchurch so you have to watch it whenever you get the chance. :) I too wasn't impressed with Spies of Warsaw and in my personal opinion the only good thing about it was seeing a semi naked David Tennant..:rofl::rofl:

I like Tunnelbear and the price is good too. The streaming sometimes has issues but that's probably because I use WiFi and if anyone else in the house is using the main computer at the same time it seems to be slow. But if I'm the only one online at the time then it's just like watching normal telly. :)

As for laptops I'm not that sure... I think so long as you have good RAM and good processing speed you should be good to go, but if you go and tell the guys at the computer stores what you're looking for they can point you in the right direction. I have a Toshiba Satellite and it works good for me. :)

Re: Broadchurch
 

I have Toshiba satellite as well as it is fine for my needs.

Re: Broadchurch
 

8 in the series. Here in Australia I can watch it with my morning cuppa on Tuesday. Be interesting to see who did it.

I use AceVPN, they are very good and I have access to all UK TV channels.

Re: Broadchurch
 

Yup, I'm enjoying it too! (and the new series of Scott and Bailey and looking forward to more Endeavour - the future is looking good!) No idea whodunnit, I change my mind with every episode! Must admit I wasnt a great David Tennant fan but he is growing on me and I can see the attraction now.

Is expatshield not working any more? I used to use that (with annoying ads) when I was in Australia.

Re: Broadchurch
 

Expatshield seems to work fine for others from what I've been told. I just never had any luck with it myself and it wouldn't load or work correctly from the start. Whereas with Tunnelbear it was a dead easy download, easy to operate and worked like a charm from day one. :) No-one could tell I'm biased :rofl:

Re: Broadchurch
 

Broadchurch has been snapped up by BBC America for broadcast here in the US later this year. That's for those who don't have any other way to view it.. LOL

Re: Broadchurch
 

yep reviews are good on tunnelbear an acevpn which somebody else recommended. Hola.org has still not fixed BBC Iplayer issue so time to find something else. expatshield caused me issues so not going to use again. There are 4 Carry On movies on right now on ITV. I know they are silly but nothing better than seeing that old craggy face of Sid James and hearing his laugh:)

Re: Broadchurch
 

Hola apparently no longer support the BBC so you will no longer be able to get the BBC Iplayer on Hola. :(

I've just watched a couple of episodes of Countryside 999 and now I'm watching 'Escape To The Country' :)

Re: Broadchurch
 

So got my new computer :thumbsup: My 2008 HP finally died :thumbsup:

Got an ASUS with all I need for streaming videos. Got new router too. Will download Tunnelbear tomorrow. Have Netflix and Amazon Prime. Plan on getting Hulu Plus tomorrow too. Who needs cable? With all that I can actually get what I want (instead of endless reality shows) and still save money!

Re: Broadchurch
 

I use Tunnelbear too but I also have HideMyAss which does not cost much more! I am so addicted to my English TV shows that when there is a slow wifi connection, I panic! The Village is great, Broadchurch took me a while to get into....off to watch Casualty now!
