The third season of hit drama Broadchurch will begin filming in summer 2016, actress Olivia Colman has confirmed.

Announcing the news on BBC Radio 4, she said she has 'no idea yet' what the story will be.

ITV confirmed earlier this year that Colman and co-star David Tennant would both return for a third series, but did not say which other cast members we can expect to see again.

The series, written by Chris Chibnall, is filmed in West Bay.

The news has been welcomed by Darren Batten, of Palmers Brewery.
