Connections Broadchurch by D.J. Forrest




WOAH LUCY COHU

It had to happen really!  You couldn’t have a fantastic brilliant show like Broadchurch, created by Chris Chibnall known for his involvement in Torchwood and Doctor Who to not have a star studded cast list of people who once appeared in Torchwood & Doctor Who.  Yet going through the initial cast list comprising of my favourite Time Lord David Tennant and the wonderful Olivia Colman, and not forgetting Gwen Cooper actress Eve Myles, there were quite a list of cast and indeed crew from both seasons that, well quite frankly amazed me.  I mean Lucy Cohu appearing as D.I. Hardy’s wife for a start, that was a surprise in Episode 3, who next?

I hadn’t realised there were so many.  So after much research, and my dear weevils it was indeed some serious research and quite a number of mugs of coffee and almost my complete box of Christmas chocolates (must remember to put in extra work at the allotment this month), I have listed below who appears in the Series, (thanks to IMDB and wiki), their role within Broadchurch, plus their appearance and role within Torchwood & Doctor Who including any interesting facts I might have discovered.

So enjoy!
