Costume designer Ray Holman was also updated viewers with fun behind-the-scenes details on the opening episode, and tweeted: "#Broadchurch still fresh, emotional and moving. Beth's’ red dress was made especially for the opening sequence. We had a ‘no checks’ policy for costume as much as possible so things look naturally scruffy and out of place. Nothing set traditionally."

Speaking about the series ending, showrunner Chris Chibnall told Radio Times: "It’s hard to say goodbye. I’ve asked myself, ‘Why am I walking away from the two best actors in the country?'" He added to BBC Radio Four: "That is it and there will be no more after this one, absolutely."
