Who is Tom Miller in Broadchurch?
Danny's best friend, deleting his messages · The Town
Tom Miller (Danny's best friend, deleting his messages) is a character in Broadchurch, part of The Town. Tom Miller is Ellie's eldest and Danny's best friend — and the first episode shows him deleting Danny's messages and smashing his own laptop, a child-sized act of concealment the series dangles for a season.
