Jodie Whittaker revealed to Attitude magazine that she had failed to win a role in a previous Doctor Who series. “I’ve seen the odd episode [of Doctor Who] because I’ve got a friend in it, and I’m aware of it obviously. I went to drama school about the time that Christopher Eccleston was announced in … >
Even though Chris Chibnall and ITV’s Broadchurch came to an end with its third and final series last year, that hasn’t stopped questions being asked about a possible return in the future. Chibnall, for one, has said he wanted to end the show after its third run, and he’s now overseeing Doctor Who. That’s going … >

This week’s Broadchurch episode, the strongest so far, is all about people trying to escape the prisons they carry with them – and often finding that they can’t.
