Broadchurch - whodunnit?

[seemster]

Dad was always too obvious - altho' where was he between 1 and 3am? I wondered about mum because of the dream she had right at the beginning - or was that just a mother's sense? But maybe she and daniel shared a sleepwalking gene... Then there's bloke from "two pints..." - weird but not much of a suspect since I keep expecting him to say something ridiculously inane and funny. Or Chloe's boyf? Or Birds of a Feather lady, she has the skateboard after all...

Anyway, it's brilliant, isn't it?

[Marmora Man]

What about the vicar - never trust a religious nutter.

The daughter.*

*based on the 'least-likely-suspect' theory.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The son.

The postman.

The shopkeeper.

[reggie]

Its definitely Olivia Coleman's husband.

Think about it. What is the most difficult murder suspect, the most gut churning.Our heroine's husband.

The most dramatic...yes it's him for sure.

Also he was present while his son was interviewed by the police...classic.

[seemster]

Reggie, you have a point, tonight's episode certainly puts him squarely in the frame. As it does with Birds of a Feather lady, vicar, and, most pointedly, the man from the newsagents (where do we know him from?)

Then there's Mark's plumber mate who was clearly keen to frame Mr Newsagent, and of course there's Tom still to consider - so basically, EDF, I think we're saying we don't know?

At least ITV have finally turned something out that's worth watching.

[csaddleton]

yeah, unlike that bloody lightfields, i hate all that bobbing around era's.

[El Pibe]

" (where do we know him from?) "

He's been in a million things, but recently he's the dad in Prisoners' Wives, the incomprehensible one with the mine in his shed in Hot Fuzz, the nonagenarian lord with a million kids in Game of Thrones...

[El Pibe]

If they're going for unexpected then it's mum for sure.

[Pickle]

This is the first mainstream show for a long time that I've really enjoyed. No idea who did it, looking forward to seeing how it resolves (hope we don't get disappointed by the ending)

[El Pibe]

Maybe the town is a hotbed of satanistic blood rites, could be it's ALL OF THEMM!!!!!!

Especially when he's a Time Traveller (Rory) in disguise.

Also David Bradley (the newspaper man with a past) was the caretaker in the Harry Potter films.

[seemster]

Thanks Cassius, that's what I was thinking of!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Pauline Quirk's dog.

Third tombstone from the left as you look at the church door.

The plumber's hunk of beef. (Has anyone worked out why he has a crossbow in his van yet?)

All guilty, I tell you.

[seemster]

Pauline Q of high tar fag fame; Mark's side kick, definitely something to hide; Ellie's husband for all the reasons Reggie already gave - I'm still undecided but reckon these are top 3 suspects. Oh, and the vicar, so that's top 4, in no particular order. Which means, still have no idea!

What about Becca Fisher, if there's a 2 hr gap in Mark's alibi then is the same true for her? What's the point of her if she's not a suspect?

[Louisa]

David Teninch dunnit

Louisa.

[Pickle]

We think it was the police woman's son.

[Louisa]

Decent punt Pickle.

Louisa.

I'd have thought any snarling villain is too obvious so no to pauline 'come walk my dog and leave your skateboard as a glimpse of subsequent plot deviec' quirk and mark's 'get orrrrf moi laaand, yier dead meat moi luvver' sidekick.

I thought the vicar was too obvious but they've been giving us a dose of all round community good guy so he's shot to number two in my list.

I'd say Ellie's husband as only real all out good guy so far, even get's on with grumpy rozza, has to be top of the list.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I reckon plumber chappie was shooting albatross from boat accompanied by two lads. He then turns to showing off his William Tell qualities, balancing a mobile phone on their heads and rocking motion means he accidentally kills boy one and mobile is lost. He frightens boy two into silence.

Whole thing witnessed by Pauline while out walking dog on cliffs. She is now blackmailing plumber. Boat set on fire to hide evidence.

Vicar will catch a large fish which has swallowed said phone - photos on phone will incriminate plumber in albatross-shooting incident which is probably illegal and he will crack under questioning and confess to manslaughter. [Can't have too many miracles where large fish are concerned]

Blood in beach hut actually from earlier boyish blood brothers scene as a result of watching too many westerns. The pain caused by this made boy one run away leaving his skateboard behind which Pauline, after a bout of energetic dusting, rides home to the caravan which is downhill. She is too embarrassed to confess.

Can't work the postman into this scenario so will have to have a rethink.

[maxxi]

Postie is part-time robbing bastard and steams open letter from Pauline Q to plumber with blackmail demand in it - he eventually gets offed by being force-fed surfboard wax and choking to death. :)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Cheers, maxxi.

That's a wrap.

[reggie]

feeling a bit smug right now

[titch juicy]

Well deduced sir.

Triffic telly all round.

[seemster]

Yes, spot on! But did you see, Broadchurch will return?? Do we really want it to?
