Happy Valley is back soon!

Just saw the trailer for a new series of this - can't wait!

I don't think the dog breeds were anything more than than what a boy his age would mention, especially a bit teasing as he knew there'd be no way they'd agree.

I'm surprised that anyone thought that Alison & Darryl were anything other that mother and son.

Although the actors are only 15yrs apart in age.

She's 45, he's 30.

diddl I agree. She looks 45 imho; I'd say the Darryl actor looks younger than 30 in the prog.

wish it'd been twelve episodes like they do in America

Don't American series have to be longer because of all the adverts?

I think they have to be a at length to fit in with much more rigid yearly schedules, set season breaks, sports etc.

That's what I thought too drspouse.

Really enjoyed this although I agree 12 episodes would have been better (or even 8).

Sarah Lancashire is bloody brilliant. Absolutely outstanding actress. Also Kevin Doyle has been ace in this, completely different to his part in Downton and the WW1 drama he was in a couple of years ago.

I thought SL was looking at Ryan at the end thinking he was going turn out like his dad. Can't remember exactly what was said leading up to it, but I got the overall impression that you can't escape your 'bad blood'.

I don't think BBC have the budget to make these shows 12 episodes rather than 6.

I absolutely love this series! A couple of small niggles though, about Ryan's letter getting through as has already been mentioned and then that all those police stood around watchmg that guy threatening to jump off that bridge and none of them thought to close the road!!

Maybe they hadn't been on the suicide prevention course either.

Macabre squoosh

Apparently SL has said she won't do a 3rd series

I hope that's not true!
Where did you read that?

Right help me out here because it's driving me crazy.

The girl who played Ann in series 1.

What else has she been in??

I've searched IMDb but can't find what I've seen her in.

But it would seem IMDb isn't comprehensive because I was sure I'd seen Derek Riddell in Dr Who and that isn't on IMDb but he WAS in it.

So what have I seen her in??

It was in the Daily Mail online. She said she wouldn't want to take it to another series

Oh I've got it!!

Game of Thrones!! Don't watch it but they showed a clip on Gogglebox a while back! That where I know her from! Phew!!

Gutting news - I hope this is just a ploy to keep everyone talking about it

Much as I loved it, I don't know if I could take any more.

thatsnot I don't think she was in Game of Thrones. There was a similar programme on BBC2 recently about the Saxons and she was in that. It was called The Last Kingdom.

She was also in The Village with John Simm.

Ah that might have been it! Thanks Hippo! 👍🏻
