Hope series two lives up to expectations, I enjoyed it but others thought it wasn't as good. Tennent did the American version too, Gracepoint

Olivia is an excellent actress :tup:

Broadchurch is one of our favourite series, too.

Just finished watching all the Foyle's War' series a few weeks ago.

Foyles war starts well but fades as the series go on, the best stuff is the in war stuff... it's no Endeavour

Fully agree with that, it gets a bit lost in the later series

It does change tack in the latter series but is still well worth a watch in my opinion. Michael Kitchen is excellent as Foyle and I think you'll enjoy watching his character Sara. He is very level headed shall we say and there is no knee- jerk from him. Honeysuckle Weeks also plays a great part.

Michael Kitchen is a brilliant actor, certainly the right role for him.

It just got a bit surreal when he was forced into working for box (MI5), that was to which I was refering.

Its brilliant Leon. What a great cast as well. I knew I'd seen the housekeeper Mrs Hall in something before so I had to Google her. Anna Madeley played nurse Samantha Beaumont in 'The Royal', she also played the part of Miss Ravillious in 'Mr Selfridge'. Two great series, I loved watching both of them.
