I just finished watching Gracepoint tonight. Pretty much matched Broadchurch, surprisingly, other than a fairly significant adjustment to the ending, which might provide a plotline for Broadchurch 2.

Of course he might just be a bit embarrassed or awkward, not knowing what to say. But he might as well not have a part unless he's involved in some way. Or he could be a red herring.

Ohhhh, I see very interesting. I suppose all this publicity would be good for the Eden.

Exactly!

Just as I get to the point I might start watching a series I downloaded a few months ago - Happy Valley, Peaky Blinders, The Honourable Woman and so on, new seasons of things I know are a 'must see' are available (Lilyhammer, The Newsroom, The Fall) and I watch those instead. Along with a few movies of course.

Did everyone see Quartet?

Quartet was fabulous. Happy Valley was exceptional, but hard to watch as we have a 22 year old DD.

There will be a new series of Last Tango in Halifax coming up as well as Broadchurch.

Oh good! Something a bit lighter. Whilst I have to see the conclusion for both The Missing and The Fall, the subject matter is a bit grim and could Stella please lose the monotone voice!!!

When the X Files was at it's height, Gillian Anderson was lusted after by many a male - I dare say a few females too.

I never saw the attraction back then. Has she changed or have I because I sure see one now.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs

I'm not watching The Fall, because I don't like the subject matter, but I'm sorry because I've admired Gillian Anderson's acting ever since I saw her in the film in The House of Mirth. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it.
