Rising Canadian star Jack Irvine speaks about his Gracepoint character Tom Miller, describing him as an innocent and a bit of a mystery who is scared to tell about what he knows or what he has seen. Tom is the oldest son of Ellie (Anna Gunn), the assistant detective on the investigation into Danny's death, and Joe (Josh Hamilton), a stay-at-home husband who does most of the caring for Tom and his baby brother Dylan.

Talking in a new clip just released by Fox TV, Vancouver native Jack describes how Tom and murder victim Danny were close, almost like brothers. The moment that Ellie informs him of Danny's death is a huge moment for the schoolboy.

"At the moment he realises that [Danny is] dead I think he's sad but he's also a bit kind of scared," explains Jack. "Is he in danger of anything?"

Anna Gunn is the latest member of the cast of Gracepoint to profile her character in the show. In a new video clip released by Fox, Anna introduces Detective Ellie Miller. 

Local detective Ellie Miller is a happily married mother of two who expects to be promoted on her return from vacation, only to discover that the position has gone to an outsider, Detective Emmett Carver (David Tennant).

Alisen, previously seen in Cold Squad and The Life is part of an impressive ensemble cast which also includes David Tennant, Anna Gunn, Nick Nolte and Kevin Zegers. Gracepoint is based on the UK series Broadchurch, although it will diverge from the original offering new twists and suspects and a different ending.

Today's Throwback Thursday selection is a collection of photos of David taken in 2006 by Marl Eilbeck. The pictures were used in several publications around David's first series of Doctor Who, including SFX, The Sunday Times and Scotland on Sunday.

David Tennant has expressed his aspirations for his new Fox TV drama Gracepoint the American remake of the award winning Broadchurch in which he also starred. David plays Emmett Carver, a similar role to Broadchurch cop Alec Hardy, though now a Californian police detective investigating the murder of a child in a small coastal community.

While there have been voices questioning the need to remake such a series as Broadchurch for the American market, it remains a fact that on its US broadcast on BBC America, audience figures were low, even by the cable channel's standards. Fox taking the option to remake rather than rebroadcast is not an unusual one, but the outcome is not always assured. Cracker and Prime Suspect were notable failures; however, The Office has proved to be a ratings winner. What is unusual is the inclusion of an original cast member in the remake. This does not guarantee success, of course: the American version of The IT Crowd never got past the pilot stage, despite…

Andrew Buchan undertook out his own solo soaking, nominating Eddie Redmayne, Matt Smith and one of his old university friends for the next round.




Joe has also promised that more Broadchurch cast will be added to the challenges in the coming days - and there are, as you will have noticed, some significant absences...
