If you missed it first time round, don't miss the repeat of Happy Valley, starting tonight on BBC3 at 10.10. The best TV drama of recent years, bar none.

It was good, maybe seemed better than it really was as there is so much guff about lately.
It is quite northern though so you might need subtitles

Thought for a moment you were going to say there was a new series. Really enjoyed it.

And from a Dibble perspective it was one of the better ones. Not without fault, but a lot better than The Bill was.

I thought it was excellent, I can't think of a weak point. The climax was superb. I agree though that Happy Valley 2 possibly wouldn't be a good idea, largely because the psychopath wouldn't be in it.
The weak point for me was, since I live just round the corner, I kept having to google street view the locations, usually whilst crying out 'I've cycled past there' or 'That's not near there', thus annoying Mrs. Svendo (this is bad). This meant I missed bits and had to rewind or pause it both annoying Mrs. Svendo even more (this is BAD!).

oh dear... i wonder if it's going to be more or less disappointing than Broadchurch II, all subsequent seasons of 24 and Chocky's Challenge

Speaking as a massive Wolf Hall fan, yes.
What's it about? Watch & discover! You won't regret it. It's a British cop/crime drama of the 21st century, in no way second fiddle to the best of the Yanks' - The Wire, Breaking Bad et al. Sarah Lancashire puts in one of the best performances you'll ever see, and everything about the acting in general, the script, the direction, is right up there..

Well, we are now halfway through the second series of Happy Valley and I am quite enjoying it. It is still weird seeing the tale unfold on the streets and hills that I am so familiar with having spent half of my life living in the Calder Valley. I think both series depict the beauty of the area pretty well, and also the grimier side.

Worth a chance. None ride bikes, you'll have noticed.

Only if you threatened to send photos you had taken of him/her in kinky attire to his/her husband/wife/partner, family, colleagues, neighbours and pets!
