BBC Happy Valley's 'powerful ending' praised as Catherine Cawood's fate revealed in finale

If you missed the final episode of BBC drama Happy Valley and are waiting to indulge in the finale on catch up then click away now. For those who watched the nail biting last episode live, then you may be among those praising the show this morning.

As the series, which began in 2014, concluded its third and final series on Sunday, February 5, there was a happy ending for police officer Catherine Cawood, brought to life on screen by Sarah Lancashire. However, not before a dramatic showdown between Catherine and her nemesis Tommy Lee Royce, played by James Norton. In 'edge of your seat' scenes, the two clashed for their final showdown and Tommy burned to death.

It was her last day in uniform before retirement and there was to be one final confrontation. Tommy, the man responsible for ruining much of her life, broke into Catherine's home after escaping prison and then fleeing from the gang he had been working with. By the time he reached Catherine's house he was bleeding badly and seemed unable to physically attack her as he had done in the past.
