Happy Valley is back soon!

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

I didn't like the product placement.

I thought the BBC weren't doing it.

Glad I found this thread- for those of you like me straining to hear, subtitles do help!

Heartbreaking scenes at the end. I like how Catherine is a good but very human cop.

Think the trafficking storyline will interweave with the rest somehow.

Poor little Ryan, he was kidnapped by his mad Dad wasn't he in last series so if Mad Myrtle does it again the boy boy will need real help.

I agree about her being one of those jailbird groupies- maybe she is trying to prove her love to him by stalking Ryan off her own back or is she being wound up to it by evil psycho?

I think Tommy Lee asked Moaning Myrtle to watch Ryan for him.Like others above, I also think it's a bit unbelievable that she could just get a TA job in that exact school at that time and be attached to Ryan's class. It is still great though.

I thought Moleseley would have a really cunning plan to get rid of Vicky efficently in a two day time slot using all his detective know how to avoid suspicion - but he didn't.

I wondered if TA woman killed Tomee lees mother as part of wanting him to be dependant on her.

Ottilia what product placement ?
It was obviously wasted on me.

Me too!

What was TLR actually put in prison for?

Murdering a Police Officer (ran over her with the car), kidnap, rape and beating of Ann and the attempted murder of Catherine.

Oh and kidnap of Ryan with attempted arson of the boat with them both on it. Plus the murder of his pal in the flat.

I think TLR is a candidate for the whole life tariff with that offending history.

Thanks for that.

Would he really have been allowed out for his mum's funeral?

Loving it but the sound is awful. Had to turn the TV up and down throughout. Speaking too quiet and music too loud.

Yes, good question, maybe not being so dangerous, but he was accompanied by about six police officers...?

Pissed off that Catherine turned up at his mum's funeral.

How predictable!

Would he really have been allowed out for his mum's funeral?

yy to this.

He showed his victims no compassion. Why should he be shown any?

When they interviewed the Croatian woman at the station Catherine said they will call Lsnguage Line.
They are a private interpreting company, not a government agency.

I suppose the writer didn't realise it at all.

Am I imagining it, or did the TA/psycho girlfriend not speak to TLR with a Scottish accent?
I wondered if she was in fact local (so on the spot for the TA job) but had invented a persona that came from Linlithgow.

Did Catherine clock that TLR was looking at PsychoTA?

And how much is Ryan a police officer's grandson, noticing that HE hadn't said his grandma was his mam's mam so how did SHE know?

"The thing is...it made for an amazing/terrifying scene."

Hmm, I thought that it was just ridiculous.

I think Neil is the murderer.

Anyone remember Kevin Doyle in The Lakes & Scott & Bailey?

No surprise about Vicky

Winnie-the actress was in something I can't remember & was very sinister.

Keep thinking that she'll be behind the trafficking

I'm glad it's not just me re sound, Fridge.
Is Neil the new boyfriend of Catherine's sister ?
Is the sister also an ex drug addict?
I can't figure out the back and front of the house. Is the back opening to a lane? To other houses? Is the conservatory on the front or the back of the house- Catherine was keeping an eye on the neighbours house in case the traffickers attacked.

The NHS uses language line so I thought the police using them was believable. I didn't think it was product placement, I suspect like the NHS the police force has a contract with them.
