Broadchurch: The Novel
Broadchurch: The Novel | Chris Chibnall
19 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
'Broadchurch' starred David Tennant and Olivia Colman and was a runaway success for Kudos and ITV in spring 2013, with viewing figures of 9 million and a second series commissioned before the first had finished airing. The drama, set in a small Dorset town, had a captivating whodunit appeal and took an emotionally charged look at how the death of a young boy affected each of the town's residents. This novel is inspired by the first series.

Going tenuous this morning!

If you Google #barracuda from here, you may reach the Bridport and West Bay website, home of the Bridport Barracudas swimming team. West Bay is the main filming location of Broadchurch. The novel was inspired by the tv drama.

Some of the series was filmed on campus when I worked at the uni. Always fun to be late for work because David Tennant‘s interviewing suspects outside the library front door!

My other book from #dollartree #cheapbooks #dollarbooks #broadchurch I‘ve watched all of Broadchurch and watched the American remake Gracepoint (I loved both FYI - the writing works better on Broadchurch but the cinematography is much better on Gracepoint). I may as well read the novel as well. Lol

Cinfhen Love Dollar Tree for books! 6y
Vexingcircumstance @cinfhen I occasionally find the most random stuff there. Before Christmas I found the AChristmas Carol coloring book there. The expensive one made for adults with the detailed drawings. They had one copy. I bought it and gave it to my mom for Christmas. I also occasionally find really good DVDs there. 6y
Cinfhen I know!!!! It‘s a total hit or miss and it varies from store to store!!!!! 6y

I went to the semi-annual book sale last night, and it was fabulous! So many good books. Has anyone read any of these! Any suggestions on where to start? :) #bookhaul

@GingerAntics They had Broadchurch! There was no book jacket, so I wasn‘t sure it was the right one, but I opened it up and saw “Mark Latimer.” I think this was my favorite find!

LeslieO Great haul! 6y
GingerAntics Oh wow!!! I've only ever seen it as an ebook!!! That is so awesome!!! I can't believe it was just there. It was waiting for you to come find it, adopt it, and take it home!!! You got TONS of books, too. So many good options for starting there. Sheesh. (edited) 6y

5🌟 The book is somehow even better than the show, because it has extra little tidbits. You get more of the internal life of the characters, things that are only implied in the show. Can't wait to watch again now, with the new, extra knowledge. I held it together at the end of the last episode, but there is so much more detail on Danny's funeral and the beach that night. I'm not a crier, but I was crying through the last few chapters. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics If you loved the show, you will love this!!! It was beautiful and wonderful. It's everything the show was and so much more. I'm actually kind of sad it's over, but also really excited to finally tuck into the series 2 short stories. #broadchurch #erinkelly #chrischibnall #audiobook #teaandabook #teaandauiobook #screentopage (edited) 6y
gradcat I loved the show—well, the British version...didn‘t see the American one. Am I really showing my ignorance by admitting that I didn‘t know it was a book?!? 6y
GingerAntics @gradcat no, it seems a lot of people didn't know, and honestly shows to books often sick. This one was remarkably successful. I think the Story itself is just that good. The American version got stuck opposite Thursday night football on bloody Fox. They touted this great different ending and it felt like a cop out to me. I know people who loved it, though. DT with an American accent is a hoot, to be honest. lol 6y

gradcat I was so afraid that I wouldn‘t appreciate DT with an American accent...but now there‘s “Camping” on HBO, and there again is DT with an American accent, lol. @GingerAntics , what are you gonna do? So now I‘ve seen DT do American accent, ha ha! Guess it was destined.... (edited) 6y
GingerAntics @gradcat it's great and slightly funny, isn't it? I'm not sure I can take him seriously with an American accent, but it is great. I can't wait for Camping. The random videos from set on social media were hilarious. All the bloody push ups!!! lol 6y
gradcat @GingerAntics I saw the first episode. I think it‘s very funny—not broad humor, mind—what with Jennifer Garner‘s need to control everything + Juliette Lewis‘ complete abandon! Probably not for everyone (as the critics seem to be saying) but I like it. I wonder if it‘s as good as the UK version—I haven‘t seen that one. 6y
Tamra I‘ll have to try the book! 6y
GingerAntics @Tamra it was lovely as an audiobook. Never even thought of it until I typed "David Tennant" into the search field in Libby and there it was. lol 6y
TheWordJar Cannot wait to read this! And I had no idea a) that there was an American version or b) that David Tennant was in it. I‘d miss my favorite part of the show with an American accent—his shouting “Mill-ah!” 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar it's called Gracepoint and she's not Miller and he's not Hardy. He's Emmett Carver. I can't remember what her name was. Apparently David Tennant being in it was contractual. He said in an interview he wanted to do it, but even if he hadn't wanted to do it he would have had to do it anyway. His voice is somehow lower and gravellier in American English. He sounds kind of Mid-Western. It's adorable. (edited) 6y

I'm absolutely adoring the extra little bits and pieces you don't get directly from the show. It's exactly the same, just a few extras here and there.

TheWordJar I loved this show! How did I not know there was a novel?? Stacking this on the ol‘ TBR for sure! 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar It's actually really good. It's the exact show (you can imagine each episode go by), but the extra little tidbits are great. I imagine the next time I watch the show that it's going to be even better. You get those little internal/mental notes on various characters. It's great. 6y
TheWordJar I love that! All seasons of that show were near perfection. I would love to get inside the characters‘ minds. 6y
GingerAntics @TheWordJar I couldn't agree more. I just got the short stories from season two. They released a short story to after each episode, so we'll see how those go next. Nothing literary for season three sadly (as far as I know). 6y
TheWordJar All of this information has made my day! Thank you! 6y

I can't stop listening. I already know what's going to happen, but I just keep listebing. I have to get on with my day, but the show is so great this is just a whole new way to relive/rewatch it. I have zero problems with it, the way I did before, this time around.

Loved the show, figured it was about time to really read the novel. I remember starting it once and thinking "wow that's gender normative" and putting it down. I saw it at the library as an audiobook and thought I'd give it a go again. The kindle version I have looks like the left, but the audiobook looks like the right. Here's hoping it's better than I remember.

Both exhausted. Ghost sleeping on me, Shadow on the window sill. Ghost is not happy about the collar.

Going to finish series 3 while I pet the cat gingerly.

Updrifting Ouch! What happened to him/her? 7y
julesG @Updrifting they were both neutered today. Major surgery for Ghost, female. Shadow, male, is already walking and jumping 7y

Here‘s the first official image of the 13th Doctor in her outfit! Every Doctor needs a big cool coat! And dig those Mork-esque suspenders!

I just finished season 3 a few minutes ago and I feel like I was punched in the gut. It makes me very scared /sad about the narcissism and utter lack of empathy that is now the norm. Anyone else watch?!

TheWordJar Finished season 3 a few weeks ago. The whole season was so hard to watch. 7y
EvieBee @TheWordJar Wasn‘t it? It shed light on rape culture and how so many victims fail to report because of how they‘re perceived. So sad! 7y
batsy I just watched it for the first time and finished the first season a few days ago. I'm still reeling and need to recover before the second. I'm amazed at how they did the big reveal without making it seem like a cheap trick at the expense of characters. It just seemed like something that could happen, based on how much we don't know about people 💔 7y

ferskner @batsy I wish I could have the experience of watching the first time again. It's such a powerful series 7y
EvieBee @batsy It‘s so wonderful! You definitely do need time to decompress, though. And it‘s so lifelike, set against that beautiful scenery. 7y
EvieBee @ferskner Me too! I was so utterly absorbed the first time. I had never experienced anything like it, except maybe for Prime Suspect. 7y
batsy @ferskner I don't know why I put it off for so long! @EvieBee Yes, the scenery is gorgeous but real, if that makes sense. And the actors all give solid performances. 7y
ferskner @EvieBee Totally! You want race through and savor it at the same time. I love mysteries but most don't have this level of character development (except for Tana French). 7y
TheWordJar And the reveal of the who and why just shocked me. Similar to the reveal in season one. (On a lighter note, my husband and I like to randomly yell "Millah!" at each other because David Tennant. ❤️) 7y

The actress who played Beth Latimer is going to be the new Doctor Who! Finally a female doctor! ❤️ Link below is breaking news so not much information yet!

Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord to be a woman - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40624288

BethM Holy shit. I've been stalking media for this announcement. 7y
monkeygirlsmama I'm probably going to be in the minority here, but... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭I hate the idea of the Doctor changing into a woman. I know it's always been a possibility, as we saw with Missy. However, I love the show with a male doc and his female counterpart. I don't like the idea of a woman becoming the next Doctor. 🙄 7y
jenniferw88 @monkeygirlsmama I'm reserving judgement until a couple of her episodes - Capaldi is currently my doctor! 7y
See All 12 Comments
monkeygirlsmama @jenniferw88 I will say you're right there, in reserving judgement. I didn't think I'd like Capaldi too much, but despite the flack a lot of people have given him I adore him. So, while I won't completely rule out liking the next Doctor, I certainly am not over the moon excited. 7y
BethM @monkeygirlsmama I'm in the same boat. I'm not super excited about it honestly. It feels a little like having a woman to say it happened. I would've been more excited to hear a male lead. But like @jenniferw88 I'm reserving judgement. I really liked Missy so there's hope. 7y
TrishB I think I'll make judgement based on her performances not gender. I'm glad they've given it a go though. I haven't been a Capaldi fan though and we pretty much stopped watching. 7y
TheBookDream I'm soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!! 7y
jenniferw88 @BethM I loved Missy! 😍 7y
VioletBramble I'm excited about this. I like the actress on Broadchurch. Her character is super annoying but she's good in the role. Maybe now we can get some more male companions. Rory and Captain Jack are two of my top 5 companions. 7y
Susannah OMG! That's amazing news! 7y
TNbookworm Wow! Hope she will be a great Doctor. Capaldi is not my favorite, I'm looking forward to something new! 7y
KathyWheeler @TNbookworm I always defend Capaldi because I don't think the problem is him -- I think it's been the writing. Looking forward to the new Doctor though. 7y
