David Tennant has said that he fears that his character may be killed off in the new series of Broadchurch. David, talking on BBC Radio 4 and reported by the Mirror said, “We don’t know where the characters are going. We don’t know the story he is telling. Some people say they know they are in it. I am not sure they do, though. I think some might get a shock." Of the possible fate of Alec Hardy he says, "I was dying of a heart attack, so I don’t know how able Alec Hardy will be to do any more crimefighting, so we will have to see.”
