David Tennant Delivered 1 of TV’s Most Devastating Scenes in Broadchurch

The second season of Broadchurch focused on the trial of Danny Latimer’s killer, while also exploring Detective Hardy’s past. We met Claire and Lee, characters connected to a previous case Hardy worked on – and mishandled – in Sandbrook. Hardy had put Claire in witness protection to keep her safe from Lee, who was the prime suspect in that earlier investigation. Reliving the details of this old case allowed David Tennant to give a particularly powerful performance.
