Who is Mark Latimer in Broadchurch?
The father with the unaccounted hours · The Latimers
Mark Latimer (The father with the unaccounted hours) is a character in Broadchurch, part of The Latimers. Mark Latimer is Broadchurch's plumber and Danny's father — and the investigation's first suspect, because his alibi for the night has a hole he'd rather go to jail than explain. The truth (ordinary, shabby, human) costs the marriage its last illusions. Mark's grief runs opposite to Beth's: where she fights, he drifts — toward the case files, the courtroom, the man in the dock, and the unanswerable arithmetic of a father who was streets away.
