David Tennant in the dark on Broadchurch future

David Tennant is scared his 'Broadchurch' character might be killed off.

The actor has admitted he has no idea what the future holds for Detective Inspector Alec Hardy in the drama and he suggested some of his co-stars are jumping the gun by saying they will definitely be back for the new series.

Speaking to Radio 4, he 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."

And after Alec Hardy was suffering from a "heart attack" in the previous series, David has no idea how writer Chris Chibnall will handle his character as the show moves forward.

He added: "I was dying of a heart attack, so I don't know how able Alec Hardy will be to do any more crime fighting, so we will have to see."

David has been exploring other projects since leaving 'Doctor Who' in 2010, and he admitted his return for the science fiction show's 50th anniversary celebrations was something that was always on his mind.

He previously explained: "I was aware when I left that the 50th anniversary wasn't very far away.

"And there's that thing with 'Doctor Who' where the moment you get the job, people are asking when you're going to leave.

"The moment you leave, people ask when you're coming back. It's a possibility that's always being visited upon you by other people."

DS Miller's back! Olivia Colman confirms she has signed up for the second series of Broadchurch

Olivia Colman has confirmed she'll return to Broadchurch.

The 39-year-old actress will reprise her role as DS Ellie Miller in the popular murder mystery drama, when it returns to screens next year for series two, but she won't make an appearance in an upcoming US remake featuring David Tennant.

At the screening of new BBC One two-part drama The 7.39, she said: 'I don't want to get myself in trouble but I think it's set in stone.'

The brunette beauty - who won two TV BAFTA awards for her roles in comedy Twenty Twelve and drama The Accused earlier this year - enjoyed taking the summer off and spending time with her family after a jam-packed year of working.

She said: 'I was nervous I wouldn't know what to do with myself but it turns out I am more than brilliant at doing nothing.'

However, Olivia previously said she has been forced to put off going to the shops to buy milk since starring in Broadchurch in case people recognise her.

She said: 'It's a bit peculiar and I'm sure I'll get better at it. But if I need a pint of milk, I'll wait until I really need to go.

'Where I live, everybody knows me so that's fine, but away from home it's slightly daunting - and I'm a bit of a chicken.'

Broadchurch was a huge hit for ITV when it aired to critical acclaim and incredible ratings figures earlier this year - becoming the most-watched new drama of 2013.
