Doctor Who Vs. Broadchurch, Series 3

Whilst the first series of this multi-award 
winning crime drama focused on the hunt 
for a child killer, and the second season concentrated on the subsequent trial of 
the prime suspect, this third case followed
a serial rape investigation.

Chris Chibnall again penned this eight-

part case - originally shown from February

to April 2017. David Tennant and Olivia

Coleman reprised their roles as Wessex

Police detectives, DI Hardy and DS Miller.
