Second Broadchurch episode creates a buzz (From Thisisdorset)

Is this going to be a regular feature in the Echo?

Hope so. It's riveting.Not the one on the telly.

Are there TV awards for the worse acting in a series??

Do you reckon this'll be any longer lived, or any better remembered, than Harbour Lights, or any more succesful at raking in the touritsts?

Well its this kind of journalism which has got the Echo shortlisted for "Regional Newspaper of the Year" for the 4th year in a row apparently. Whether it has ever won before, or how long the shortlist is, is not mentioned.....Hahaha

As Billy Connolly would say 'no one is forcing you to read this article, so if you don't like it turn the bl**dy page'

There was a lot of media hype before the programme started about it being the drama of 2013............is it me or is it just very slow and dare I say it boring?

I'm staying with it for one more episode and then even trying to spot places I know will have lost it's interest.

what a bunch of whingers!

you moan when the Echo makes the County look bad, but them moan when they highlight a project that has been used to attract vistors.

It's this kind of attitude that results in one step forward, two steps back...

Agreed, anyone reading this for the first time but be thinking What a bunch of losers. Those that read it everyday, just ignore the negative comments day after day after day, I just don't get it. Is your life that bad that you have nothing better to do than to moan all the time. The fact that the local website got inundated with views during and after the programme is to me interesting. If the echo choose to publish information about it, it's not a prolem, if you don't like it, don't read it. Just for gods sake, enjoy your life and stop being so negative all the time.
(Awaits abuse, but not bothered in the slightest, go ahead)

Unfortunately, I haveny seen it yet, as Auntie Beeb very thoughtfully scheduled the 2-parter "Shetland" to coincide - or is it called "compete" these days? I thought when I bought my big flatscreen & DVD recorder that I was buying into "Watch one channel, record another", but apparently I can only record what I'm actually watching! Always assuming I could understand how to do it. At 71 1/2 years old, some of these fine details can become problematic. 'Tis the ambiguous language they use, I suspect! Should I watch "Broadchurch" from #3, I ask myself, and try to appreciate what occurred in parts 1 & 2, or should I just wait for the entire re-run ? Or perhaps it may be best to take the tacit advice above, and just give the whole thing a great big miss ??

It's bound to be repeated on ITV3, most dramas are at some point.

If you've got a laptop, ipad or similar, you can watch all three episodes on itv.com/iplayer, you don't need to wait.

I agree- there are so many armchair experts.

Of course, they can write amazing and award winning scripts, they are amazing Oscar worthy actors.

They could write and produce content for a local newspaper that covers a very quiet part of Dorset- every day.

If only we could harness their powers and use them for the power of good and not just leave them to drown in a sea of their own poisonous bile.

Actually I don't remember anyone moaning about the echo making the council look bad at all.

Agree about the buses, what a disgusting carry on that is, First Bus just think they can do what they like, and their Bus drivers are so rude. they don't get it, they just don't get it.

But at the end of the day, councils, Buses, TV Programmes are not the fault of the Echo. Just frecking moaning for the sake of moaning is worthless.......Some
times the comments section is quite interesting and there are some good points.

The program still looks very amateurish to me. It's not what I would refer to as "gripping", but it is interesting trying to spot where the scenes are -- even if some of them don't actually marry-up. I suppose that if one knows the area they will notice details that people from other areas would not.

Switching subjects, I have been under the impression that this part of the Echo website is for people to comment and put forward their own views, so I will refrain from complaining about the people who have different views to my own.

However, if you should feel the need, feel free to complain about what I have written. I will be interested in seeing what you think.

The only thing that makes it worth watching is the wonderful scenery.I thought it was rather slow moving and lacking in content.

Has anyone else noticed that the link to this report says 'Second Broadchurch episode creates a buzz' but the content appears to predate this e.g. John May is quoted as saying

“A lot of people are putting the site on their favourites, which means they can come back when they think of booking a visit. “It is a very good sign for this summer and we must keep our fingers crossed. And that was only the first episode – there are seven more to go.”

Eight minus seven = 1 (i.e. the1st episode).

Sloppy reporting Echo.

David Tennant is one of our country's best actors, and he is in Bridport.

I just dont see, how any negatives come from that. I would love to meet him.

But (without seeing the show yet), I hope it shows off the county as it should. Those who don't know about the coast, could see this and think 'that's my next holiday sorted'.

Oh, and my point wasnt aimed at the Echo. but more to the ones that can only see the negatives in any scenario

I'm with you on this Stench. It's a pity that there is no such thing as a 'commudgen filter' to block these cynical and pointless posts.
