Tot de bevolking abrupt opgeschrikt wordt door de mysterieuze dood van de 11-jarige Danny Latimer. Moord, luidt het verdict van de wetsdokter. Een slag in het gezicht van de ouders, en van de hele gemeenschap. De inwoners komen plots in het oog van een mediastorm te staan, die nefaste sporen nalaat. Bovendien blijken sommige inwoners er bijzondere geheimen op na te houden… Eén vraag houdt de hele gemeenschap in de ban: wie heeft de jonge Danny vermoord?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">De Britse misdaadreeks is van de hand van Chris Chibnall, die ook zijn stempel drukte op Law and Order: <st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region> en Doctor Who. David Tennant en Olivia Colman zetten hoofdpersonages Alec Hardy en Ellie Miller neer. Hardy is nieuw in Broadchurch en heeft geen enkele band met het dorpje. Hij wordt er alleen naartoe gestuurd als gevolg van zijn promotie tot politie-inspecteur. Een job waarop ook Miller, die de buurt en de mensen wél door en door kent, had gerekend. Dat de spanning tussen de twee te snijden is, hoeft geen betoog. Hardy’s eigenzinnige aanpak dwingt Miller er bovendien toe het dorp waar ze opgroeide met andere ogen te gaan bekijken.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>EERSTE DUBBELAFLEVERING OP DONDERDAG 3 OKTOBER 2013 <st1:place w:st="on">OM</st1:place> 21.10</b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aflevering 1</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vitaya 21.10</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inspecteur Alex Hardy zet samen met zijn collega Ellie Miller zijn tanden in het onderzoek naar de dood van een 11-jarig jongetje in de kleine gemeenschap Broadchurch.

A terrible blow to the parents, and the whole community. The inhabitants come to be all under suspicion.

David Tennant and Olivia Colman play protagonists Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller. Hardy's new in Broadchurch and has no connection with the town. He is only sent there as a result of his promotion to police inspector, a job which also Miller, who knows the neighbourhood and the people through and through, also bargained for. That there is tension between the two, goes without saying.
