Can you believe it’s still January? It’s absolutely wild to me that this is the same month where Prince Harry unleashed his explosive memoir, Rishi Sunak announced pupils will study maths at school until they are 18 and, of course, the extent of the Piccadilly Gardens ‘mud bath’ was bestowed upon us all.
One thing that’s been getting many people through the seemingly never-ending month is the return of BBC’s Happy Valley. Whilst the show itself isn’t exactly all sunshine and rainbows, the third season - the first since 2016 - has been met with huge acclaim as it keeps viewers gripped with its usual level of suspense and mystery.
To get on board with the hype train and to help me with the January woes whilst avoiding spending any money, I decided to finally give Happy Valley a chance. Having never seen an episode before 2023, I have since managed to get up-to-date with proceedings and I am now a fully qualified member of the Sarah Lancashire fan club.
