Can't help thinking the vicar is a wrong'un. Perhaps it'll become clear soon...

hehe

Well, he is on the market again.

I'm sticking by my theory that this is revolving around swingers/BDSM parties. When Trish was asked about her underwear I'm betting she hesitated not because of the nature of the question, but because what she had on was more Ann Summers than the Marks and Spencer she claimed.

The mechanic was the husband of the lady who's party it was, surely?

Mark is the father of the kid killed in S1 and the husband of the rape support person.

It's funny that you say that, I also think it was a swingers party too...

I'm going with the Swinger's Party/Broadchurch Doggers angle too.

To complicate, Maggie (editor of the Broadchurch Echo) is bereft at the lease being allowed to run out on the paper's local office and cats up trees being front page news. This will be the big scoop she's been waiting for, so in an effort to save her own bacon will expose the seedy underbelly of the town.

There will be a certain irony, because her decades old lesbian love affair with Jocelyn Knight (the Prosectuion barrister in Joe Miller's trial) which was rekindled at the end of S2 was originally doomed to failure thanks to local gossip at the time, but Maggie will be hypocritically fanning the flames of other such gossip in the present. Something like that anyway.

Deffo think the Vicar has been tee'd up in S1/S2 to be a baddie, but nothing has come of it. This could be his series to go bad.

Well he did say folk only come to his church when 'bad-things-are-happening' so, drumming up attendance?

I dunno. The whole "crime announced on radio - cue lots of blokes sitting around on their own, looking shifty" thing has been done before and it rarely shows the real perp when they do that.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the party theories outlined above are correct and it turns out that Trish is having everybody on with a view to getting back at her husband and his new girlfriend. The taxi driver probably tied her up and booted her around a bit to make it look authentic. And Lenny Henry probably lectured her on global warming or lack of ethnic minorities on TV or something, no wonder she looks so miserable the whole time. scratchchin

Just one thing that grated with me on last night's programme. Who on earth would meet their sexual violence counsellor for the first time in a café with loads of people around? The other customers' ears would've been flapping like nobody's business. hehe

Yes, that did seem very odd.....why not meet at Trish's house?
Also, why wouldn't Trish's husband (Charlie Higson) agree to a DNA sample?
I really like how Broadchurch lays false trails and we're left guessing about what is important and what isn't. Good stuff.

I've been of that opinion since he first appeared.

Indeed - Seemed really odd to me too.

Well, in the context of the programme, to make him look guilty, but honestly, I would think twice if the police asked for my DNA, but gave no reason for wanting it.

I wondered this, but;

It wasn't that busy a cafe. Two other people at a nearby table, probably not really able to overhear, nobody else around.

Neutral location perhaps? Better for the victim? Not having a complete stranger come in to your home?

Not that I know for sure, and I guess, I hope i don't find myself in a situation where I would have to know that for certain

There was a woman sitting directly behind Beth.



If she couldn't hear, she was deaf! biggrin

I know it's only TV fiction, but it just seemed a strange setting - Someone decided to set it there, but it seemed odd and, as far as I know, wasn't explained.
