Millions of viewers were given warnings from a BBC announcer as the new series of Happy Valley started on Sunday night, with people also left gutted by the reminder it will be the last one.
It was back in 2014 that the Sally Wainwright drama launched on BBC One, with Sarah Lancashire in the role of Catherine Cawood, a no nonsense detective sergeant with a lot on her plate both in and outside of work. Its explosive first series featured some harrowing scenes, including the death of young police officer Kirsten McAskill by the wheels of villain Tommy Lee Royce's car and a horrifying confrontation between Tommy and Catherine, which nearly saw her killed by the man who raped and impregnated her late daughter, before she managed to make her escape with severe injuries.
Happy Valley series two also had some shocking moments and the show is no stranger to violent content which often makes for uncomfortable viewing. And, on Sunday night, viewers were given a clear indication that its third and final series would follow a similar trend. Seconds before the show started and, right after a tough to watch Call The Midwife, a BBC announcer delivered a warning on what to expect.
