Happy Valley Series 3 - BBC1 9pm started 1 January 2023 - no spoilers - tv pace – thread 2

[IwantToRetire]

First thread is nearly full but please check if still room to post by going to www.mumsnet.com/talk/telly_addicts/4710280-happy-valley-series-3-bbc1-9pm-starts-1-january-2023-no-spoilers-tv-pace?page=40

And once it is welcome to everyone. Looking forward to any number of theories and learning things one never wanted to know about like tiny phones.

Time of death isn't easy to calculate, and a post-mortem is unlikely to reveal the site of a tiny hypodermic pinprick, especially if Pfizer puts it (say) in between fingers, or where she's badly bruised. Things like that tend to be missed unless the pathologist is looking for them - and this is not to denigrate pathologists, but if you have a victim who has received serious head wounds, and then they suffer a stroke as a consequence (which I think this would probably look like), they're unlikely to do a minute body search for an injections site.

I don't know if Neckbeard will end up getting charged, but he's going to have a lt of questions to answer - the girl is black and blue, Catherine knows he's domestic tyrant, his children will tell the police that "Daddy doesn't like Mummy" . . . maybe he'll be remanded. Maybe TLR will find out about it and he'll be got at.

Have to say - am neither doctor nor lawyer so am making this up as I go along . . . a little knowledge. . . dangerous thing . . . blah blah

I’m another who found the Shrine podcast a complete waste of time. A good ten minutes of pointless chat - then an interminable recap that was less useful than my own eyes and ears.

(But I hate most podcasts, so …)

Ahhhh!

Why was Joyce interested in the lab results for the pills when she was in Catherine's office?

That aught my attention, too - and I also couldn't;t believe that Catherine didn't close down the page and log out, no matter how much of a hurry she was in. The way she threw her glasses on the desk . . . does this mean that she misreads that licence plate later and goes off down the wrong track?

I hadn't twigged how close together they lived

He's been low-key running a drugs business that has begun to encroach on the Knezovic's, and managed to attract enough attention that they worked out it was him.

I suspect that those two thugs were dealing in a bit of "private enterprise" with Pfizer, and that they will be just as keen as he is to keep that bit of information away from the OCG bosses.

I wonder if Faisal is taking drugs himself tbh, but I think his stumbling down the footpath was just to show his desperation/stress.

YES!

I thought it very poignant and symbolic.

(sorry - the doll bit(

Isn't it just!

I love Siobhan, too. (And her complexion is fabulous!)

"going down t'back of t'houses"

<adds to 'Tyke - Geordie' phrasebook>

I agree - he lights up when he sees Ryan because Ryan is the key to avenging himself on Catherine. I this he has a strong sense of "ownership" if Ryan - and if he can't have a relationship (on his own twisted terms) with him, then he'll destroy him to prevent anyone else doing so.

'I was just saying this about both Sarah Lancashire and Siobhan Finneran, it's so refreshing to see women in their mid/late fifties who haven't got a face full of fillers and obviously aren't pumped full of Botox.'

So true. They both look their age AND are gorgeous at the same time

Omg. Yes

Brain is obv thick with painkillers lol

Interesting that other people also thought Ann looked different. I wondered if Charlie Murphy has had her nose 'fixed' a little bit (not that anything was wrong with her nose btw!)

That's your average wedding celebration round here 😂

why did Nevis daughter touch the cup?
was she wiping fingerprints?
or checking it was a hot drink?

is she married to Catherine's son?

The "Nosey Neighbourhood Watch" is alive and well in the North East, too!

@Coffeecreme She was checking to see if the cup was warm or cold. If warm, they were likely not far away.

A proper ginnel

I found it really odd that the horrible PE teacher was controlling enough to keep everything locked up but his wife was just able to stand on a stool to access the keys.

Maybe the key holder was put up high out the way of the children rather than her ?

I've known an accidental death from an unprimed IV line. Less than 5mls of air & definitely into a vein, not an artery.

You can refill syringes. The size of syringe doesn't have to be the same as the volume of air.

Many pharmacists do vaccines and more are offering phlebotomy. Especially those wanting to grow their business.

I don't mind if Catherine changes her mind about her trip as long as she doesn't die.

I think Ryan may kill TLR.

I, too, don't like the idea of TLR having a redemption arc. I think Sally Wainwright is wary of the handsome psychopath or murderer trope. Despite making TLR crude and vicious and basically loutish in series one, there was still a lot of talk of him being hot and sexy. I half-suspected the teaching assistant storyline in series two was an attempt to show how pathetic it is to become attracted to men like him or to think that by loving them you will bring out the humanity that only you are somehow able to see. I think he's going to do something awful and then end up dead.

'think he's going to do something awful and then end up dead.'

He will. He'll end up with our Ryan hostage, Catherine will happen upon his hiding place as she seems to have a sixth sense for like Lynn's basement.

Who will kill whom though is the question? I think Ryan will rescue Catherine and kill Royce. Then they'll both go to the himalayas <why the himalayas > and hopefully grubby Neil will not get a scene in any remaining episodes.
