BBC Happy Valley final extended for 'Catherine's final shift' after dramatic penultimate episode

BBC Happy Valley viewers were devastated to learn that the season three finale will be the drama's last ever instalment. The multi-Bafta award-winning hit, starring Sarah Lancashire as Sergeant Catherine Cawood, James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce, Rhys Connah as Ryan Cawood and Siobhan Finneran as Clare Cartwright, returned in the new year after an almost seven-year hiatus for its final run.

Fans of the drama have been seriously hooked by the weekly episodes that air on Sunday nights at 9pm, with some scenes hitting harder than others. During episode two, Sarah was praised as "absolutely phenomenal" by viewers following dramatic scenes that saw Sarah's character confront her sister Clare in a cafe, for taking her grandson Ryan to visit his father Tommy in prison without her knowledge.

And in the penultimate episode, viewers were once again blown away as Ryan gave them the most emotional 10 minutes of TV in ages. The teenage actor broke viewers' hearts when he stopped his grandmother in her tracks to say "I love you". You can read more about the scene here.
