Happy Valley

[Shesaidwhat?]

Aha

 

[ButtonDownTheHutches]

I know it had to happen for the purposes of plot, but I’ve been irritated all day by the fact that the school didn’t contact Claire or Catherine when Ryan didn’t arrive at school - it’s a basic safeguarding requirement: all school needs to follow up if a pupil doesn’t turn up as, truanting aside, they could have been involved in an accident en route to school.

Just saw a good tweet - couldn’t agree more!

Richard isn’t much of an investigative reporter if he doesn’t notice he’s in the same room as his own grandson

 

[bellinibobble]

If you know Northern Rail.. you know

 

[bellinibobble]

It’s just so believable!! I don’t know if it’s because I’m from Yorkshire and it seems even more familiar but we left bbc1 on after and when the news started for a split second I genuinely thought that TLR’s jailbreak would be the headline story 🫣🫣 ffs I’m clearly cracking up. Can’t wind down for ages on a Sunday night and no doubt I’ll sleep terribly tonight dreaming about criminals

ETA
Ok I’m now howling at this. U.K. Twitter when there’s a prime time tv show on is just the best. Imagine if it was all released at once and everyone was watching at different paces. Just wouldn’t be the same.

 

[StephenTJackson]

Like those ‘choose your own adventure’ books

I'll go with the one that ends up with me getting shagged senseless by TLR.

I've been to Hebden bridge today to Catherine's house....

I wasn't the only sad bastard going for a look either

 

[If i told you …]

I’m in bits wondering if Claire gets to open her sandwich 🫣

I've never watched Neil in anything else but does he always talk like he needs a pack of soothers!?

 

[Warpaint]

I’m really disappointed that it’s Claire!

Unless she’s being forced to go there for some reason.

I was thinking, when Catherine met her ex husband in the cafe she was listing all the businesses the Knesovich's (sp) ran and mentioned newsagents. Maybe they own the one Neil works at - Tommy somehow found out he worked there and how he was linked with the Cawood's and as a bargaining chip for him taking the rap for the murder that the gangster family member was involved in, he asked to see Ryan in return. So the Knesovich (sp)family could be forcing them that way

 

[Warpaint]

I'm thinking Ann Gallagher will have some sort of a showdown with Tommy. Her character has been a bit weird this series and I think it will be something to give her closure.

Evil Faisal
As much as I want the husband to go down, I do hope Faisal gets his just desserts for the things he’s done (one way or another).

Bloody love Evil Faisal. He's so much cooler now he's a calm collected murderer, much better than that bumbling idiot tripping over sheep like he was before

 

[mchammerr]

If Catherine dies I will simply be complaining to off com. Or whoever you complain to! I’m still not over the ending of Unforgotton.

 

[Ensay]

They definitely did the right thing not releasing it all on the iPlayer at once. It's great to talk about it with other viewers and anticipate the next episode.

Though it's interesting because the BBC has said it sees streaming as the future, hence they commonly release new series as full boxsets but when it comes to big shows like Line of Duty and Happy Valley they stick to the once a week format. Shows it still works!

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Straight in the newsies for a bottle of Prime .

I thought the writing (and obviously the acting) last night was sublime in the scenes with Catherine & Clare in the cafe and then Catherine & Ryan in the doorstep. Ryan mentioning his tea was getting cold and Catherine dismissing it because it was only stew! I’m definitely going to rewatch it. Sarah Lancashire deserves every accolade going.

James Norton was on Graham Norton last night and he told a story about how a woman once went up to him and said, “Ooh that Tommy Lee Royce. He sure makes my valley happy…”

 

[Lunagooner]

I think she probably was charged with manslaughter. She did say she was at a open prison. I do wonder if she got a more lenient sentence due to what happened to her by her dad??

She also said she's on licence which made me worry when Catherine didn't pay for parking when she parked her truck
