Series 1 - Episode 2  Today 9pm - 10pm  BBC One
Quote
While our hero, parish priest Father Michael Kerrigan (Sean Bean) agonises over things, his confessor and confidante Father Peter (Adrian Dunbar) wears his faith lightly. “Are you still off the sugar?” Michael asks as they sit down for a difficult conversation over a cup of tea. “Yeah, four days now,” Peter replies breezily. “Puts the Crucifixion into perspective, doesn’t it?”

Jimmy McGovern is good at dropping in these comic touches. A woman visits Michael for her first confession in years, and has to summarise her sins, explaining, “If this was Match of the Day, that’s the stuff you’d see.” But she goes on to lay a huge burden on Michael, and Bean is superb at conveying how hard it is to carry the hopes of those in need. He’s an incredible priest, a craggy spiritual superhero, but he has his limits, and his own crown of thorns.

Through quiet, intense scenes, McGovern charts how the drama’s title applies to many of his characters. It’s piercing, grown-up stuff and, although one violent scene might strain credibility, impossible to look away.

 Summary

As the repercussions of Christina's actions start to hit home, Father Michael makes a discovery and must act fast to help her justify what happened to the authorities and her sister, Mariella. Meanwhile, new parishioner Roz attends confession to share a huge secret, prompting the priest to share a dark confession of his own in an attempt to dissuade her from the desperate course of action she has planned. The two share a connection, but is it wise for Father Michael to confide his own secrets to someone struggling to deal with their own?

Colin McKeown, McGovern’s long-time collaborator and producer of Broken, believes it is the best work the writer has ever done. He also says it is the best work he has ever produced and the probably best performance that Sean Bean has ever given.

Sean has turned in some great performances over the years. I was trying to decide what I think is his best and couldn't, but yeah, Fr Michael might end up being the best. Powerful.

Talking about Sean and Broken starting at about 01.09.21 min
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p053qtx4

Transcription of bits that I found interesting:

Quote
Q: Are you thinking about the cast when you write it, Jim?

JM: That was funny 'cause we had a wish list of Sean Bean and I think we went down to London three times to try and get him and he always found a reason to say no, or he never actually said no but he was never fully persuaded you know and uh I think his main concern was the confessional, em he thought the priest in the confessional's too passive for him and uh we pointed out that priests are not passive . . . and to be fair to Sean the best scenes he does in this drama series are in that confessional box... he was the number one choice but I thought we'd never get him...

Having just watched episode 2, I agree, Sean is superb in the confession scene in that.

Quote
CM: ... and he went through every detail of the Mass with Br Vance and he started to really familiarise himself and I could tell, hang on a minute, a switch has gone on here. That nice guy you think who follows Sheffield United and is very slow and sorta nice, he's got this laser-like concentration....

Journey from Brookside to Broken
Richard Purden talks to writer Jimmy Govern about his inspiration for major new TV drama
Quote
JIMMY McGovern suggests there is one ‘surefire hit’ in every Catholic drama and that is First Holy Communion. “What other Faith gives you that?” he said. “Everyone is converging on the church for Mass and all those beautiful children are in Communion dress. We have Sean Bean as the priest giving Communion with a bit of opera in the background. You just can’t fail with a scene like that.”

'Broken' Season 1 Spoilers: Will the Truth Behind Vernon's Shooting Be Exposed, or Will Powell Be Pressured Into a Lie in Episode 3?
Quote

"Broken" is BBC's new religious drama set to run for six episodes. But only two episodes in and it has already presented the resident priest, Father Michael (Sean Bean), with more challenges than he could've imagined he'd deal with in his small parish in Northern England.

And yet, said challenges have only worked to make him more determined — though also a bit more broken inside — to provide his parishioners with the spiritual support and counsel they might need at any given time.

The upcoming third episode will be finding the community still reeling from the shock of the previous episode's event. According to the official synopsis for the episode, Father Michael will be providing much needed counsel to police officer Powell (Mark Stanley), who is being pressured into supporting his colleagues' questionable version of just how the unfortunate shooting of Helen's (Muna Otaru) mentally challenged son, Vernon (Jerome Holder), went down.

He was there to witness everything as he held on to Helen to keep the desperate mother away from the bipolar Vernon, whose behavior has, by then, become erratic and potentially harmful to himself as well as to others. When Vernon started to brandish the knife in his hand, a police officer shot him without a second's thought.

The incident came as a shock for both the people in the scene as well as the viewers, who felt it was too soon to be depicting such violence on TV in light of the terror strike in London Bridge that killed seven people. Other viewers, however, praised the series for its brave depiction of the day to day struggles that people normally face, as well as its thought-provoking handling of the more serious issues like benefit fraud and suicide.

How will Powell handle the pressure from his colleagues in the next episode? Will he be forced to back their story up or will he instead muster up the courage to share what really happened?

"Broken" season 1 episode 3 airs on Tuesday, June 13, at 9 p.m. BST on BBC One. Viewers who have been triggered by issues featured in the show are advised to seek out information and support from organizations that can help.

Today 21:00 BBC One   Episode 3

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08vh1xd


Quote

As the events of the night send shockwaves through the community, Father Michael (Sean Bean) must process his own guilt. Seeing Helen’s (Muna Otaru) humility and dignity in the face of overwhelming pain, he turns to Father Peter (Adrian Dunbar) for advice.

Elsewhere, PC Andrew Powell (Mark Stanley) is pressured by PC Dawn Morris (Aisling Loftus) and their fellow officers to back up their account of the night before - despite it going against everything he stands for.

During confession, Father Michael urges Andrew to tell the truth, even though he risks ostracism and, worse, his job. Finding himself increasingly isolated Andrew must decide if truth is more important than loyalty - as he makes a decision that will affect his future, his family and his faith.

Meanwhile Roz (Paula Malcomson) remains determined to go through with her plan, in the face of everything Father Michael does to dissuade her. And with his flashbacks worsening, Father Michael tracks down a figure from his past.

Quote

It’s not an easy drama to watch, this. Jimmy McGovern’s wide-ranging story of a priest (Sean Bean) and his troubled parishioners heads in surprising directions and never gives us a comfortable ride.

Last week’s awful incident involving the teenager Vernon Oyenusi (Jerome Holder) continues to reverberate. If you found it hard to believe the way that crisis unfolded I wouldn’t blame you, but give the drama credit for the way it now shows the anxious interplay of the police officers involved as they try to work out what went wrong.

It’s strong stuff, but there’s worse to come, as Father Michael confronts the teacher who abused him as a schoolboy.

Summary

As events of the night send shockwaves through the community, Father Michael must process his own guilt. Seeing Helen's humility and dignity in the face of overwhelming pain, he turns to Father Peter for advice. Elsewhere, PC Andrew Powell is pressured by PC Dawn Morris and their fellow officers to back up their account of the night before - even though it goes against everything he stands for, and Roz remains determined to go through with her plan, despite Father Michael trying to dissuade her. 
http://www.radiotimes.com/tv-programme/e/fqx225/broken--series-1-episode-3/





Quote

the horrifying events of last week, Father Michael is struggling to cope with the guilt he feels at not answering Helen’s phone call.

He’s not the only one dealing with the terrible repercussions: caring cop and doting dad Andrew Powell (an excellent Mark Stanley) has an unenviable dilemma as the police conduct an internal investigation into what happened.

While Father Michael urges him to tell the truth, his colleagues pressure him to support them, but what will angst-ridden Andrew decide to do?

Meanwhile Sean Bean continues to be on stunning form and Father Michael’s steelier side emerges as the priest makes a powerful but controversial sermon, before confronting his past in devastating fashion.

Too many misfortunes for one small parish. I hope, McGovern will give them at least a series of respite, and not immediately rain will upon Liverpool brimstone and fire out of heaven.
