- Synopsis:
Sarah Lancashire stars as Catherine Cawood, a police sergeant in a small town where drunkards, drug addicts and teenage pregnancies are a way of life. Her world is turned upside down when the man she thinks is responsible for her daughter's death - Tommy Lee Royce - is released from prison. Meanwhile, quiet middle-class accountant Kevin Weatherill feels underappreciated and underpaid at work. Desperate to give his daughters a decent education, he asks for a pay rise so he can send them to private school. But when his wealthy boss Nevison refuses, something finally snaps for Kevin and he enlists the help of local drug lord Ashley to kidnap Nevison's daughter and hold her for ransom. Things quickly spiral out of control when Ashley involves Tommy Lee in the plan. How far will any of them go to get what they really want? - Actors:

Superb Yorkshire drama - Happy Valley: Series 1 review by PC
Sarah Lancashire is an absolute powerhouse in one of the best BBC dramas in years. The supporting cast are also superb, if only let down slightly by Steve Pemberton. The series loses some of its momentum in the fifth episode but believe me when drama is this tightly wound you may need a breather at some point.
