More Wins For Broadchurch At The Broadcast Awards



There was double award success for Broadchurch tonight at the 2014 Broadcast Awards which were held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

The ITV series, which featured an impressive ensemble cast led by David Tennant and Olivia Colman, saw off some impressive competition from the likes of Top Of The Lake, The Fall and Last Tango In Halifax to scoop the prize for Best Drama Series or Serial. The series followed the impact of the murder of a young local boy on a close knit community which finds itself under intense police and media scrutiny as the hunt for the killer progesses.
