Broadchurch is back on our screens while being repeated during lockdown, and fans are loving watching the hit 2011 show all over again. Plenty of viewers tuned into the hugely popular crime drama, with many proudly confirming that they were excited to binge-watch the show all over again, despite knowing who was behind Danny's murder. 

One person tweeted: "Have I seen Broadchurch before and know what happens? Yes. Am I extremely excited to re-watch it? Yes." Another added: "#Broadchurch being re-broadcasted every Monday evening makes me so so happy - some fantastic British TV." A third person wrote: "It’s hard to describe the impact #Broadchurch had on British tv when it first aired but it was definitely seismic. It was the perfect crime drama with a perfect cast."

Fans are loving that the show is back on TV

Costume designer Ray Holman was also updated viewers with fun behind-the-scenes details on the opening episode, and tweeted: "#Broadchurch still fresh, emotional and moving. Beth's’ red dress was made especially for the opening sequence. We had a ‘no checks’ policy for costume as much as possible so things look naturally scruffy and out of place. Nothing set traditionally."

Speaking about the series ending, showrunner Chris Chibnall told Radio Times: "It’s hard to say goodbye. I’ve asked myself, ‘Why am I walking away from the two best actors in the country?'" He added to BBC Radio Four: "That is it and there will be no more after this one, absolutely."
