Note that if you connect your cable or satellite box to the TV using an HDMI cable, enabling the captioning on the TV doesn’t do anything as the closed captioning part of the signal is stripped out. You have to enable it on the cable or satellite box.
Brilliant! Eh’ll bae a wee nae brae ach, lassie. Or something like that.
Comin’ throo the rye!
Got to watch 1.06 in DISH on demand this weekend. Yaay! 
They’ve got this week’s episode labeled as “episode 6” so I hope it doesn’t mess up again.
Yeah, as a former newspaper reporter myself, both eyebrows hit max height on that one. She works for A TABLOID. Hello?!?! The article you write isn’t yours, honey. It belongs to the paper. She’s supposed to be a seasoned reporter?
Nuh-uh. That doesn’t compute.
Editors can make any and all changes they deem necessary while ignoring any further input from the reporter.
I saw it more than once in the newsroom personally.
It is on Netflix…at least it was on instant watch earlier this summer as I watched it all. Mo’s Story was the best episode.
Rhiannon8404 - proper quality, didn’t you think?
I assumed the idea was to inform the audience of how that game works; I’m sure it’s difficult to include the screaming obvious at times but, given the importance of that arc to the whole drama, I guess they were determined the point got across.
Incidently, the real life person who the character-assassination-by-media of Jack could have been [loosely] based got an apology from the police today:
Olivia Colman is turning into a British acting goddess, in the realms of Helen Mirren, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, turning her hand to tragedy and comedy in equal measure. She’s hardly off the telly these days.
I particularly loved her in ‘2012’, a spoof about the organising committee of the London Olympics, where she plays the chief exec’s lovelorn secretary. She hardly has any lines and she’s hilarious, just twitching her mouth and staring.
She also did a great turn as Margaret Thatcher’s daughter in the recent film ‘The Iron Lady’, with Meryl Streep.
Ahh, that’s what I knew her from!
My DVR (DirecTV) recorded episode 6 at 4:00 this morning.
Was it actually broadcast then or was it some XFiles-like event?
Mine shows ep 6 scheduled for 2:30 this morning. Haven’t checked to see if it actually recorded yet, but at least tonight’s ep description was changed to indicate it’s ep 7.
Right. As I said earlier:
I know. I was just dropping the other shoe.
I was first aware of her in the second series of Look Around You. (I adore that show, in both its formats. Olivia will always be Pam to me!)
But, yeah: she’s got both dramatic and comedic acting chops. (Which, in a way, affects the resolution of Broadchurch: you know that whoever killed Danny is likely to be someone who is close to Ellie. So, either her husband or her son. Probably. Because that’s what would be most devastating.)
Something is definitely wrong. I had my DirecTV DVR set to record all new episodes. I just double-checked my to-do list, and it didn’t have anything set to record - had to set it manually.
I don’t ever want to watch a show again that takes eight hours to solve one crime. Exhausting. For hours would have been plenty.
Did we really have to wait this long to get Susan’s back story? When Miller said to her, “How could it be going on in your own house and you not know?” big flashbulbs and sirens went off in my head.
Getting very tired of seeing Alec staggering around being cranky and looking like yesterday’s fish. Okay, he did a generous (if misguided) thing on the other case. Fine. Whatever.
Counting the moments to the last episode.
Oh, come now - if it was an American show it would be 8 seasons :D.
Having seen the whole thing, I think it was reasonably well paced as a character study ( the primary character being the community ).
Mine recorded fine tonight, and I’m still loving it. The crime itself is almost a MacGuffin–you need it to set everything into motion and start people’s lives unraveling, but that’s really what the show’s about, rather than whodunnit.
