Tommy Lee Royce is currently getting back under the skin of Happy Valley viewers as the villain, played by James Norton, causes more trouble in the show's final season. The gritty BBC drama returned to screens earlier this month and each episode of the six-part series so far has had viewers gripped from start to finish.
Fans have been tuning in every Sunday to BBC One for their next fix of the final installment - seven years after series two hit screens. And as we enter the latter stages of the third and final season, all eyes are on Tommy following his dramatic escape from prison. His return to the show, despite being in prison, came after Sergeant Catherine Cawood discovered that her grandson Ryan, and her late daughter's rapist, was visiting his dad behind bars.
It soon transpired that the visits were being facilitated by Catherine's sister, Clare Cartwright and her partner Neil Ackroyd. There was then a strange exchange between Tommy and his son in which he got him to promise he'd attend his court hearing in Leeds. Against his family's wishes, Ryan headed to see his dad in the dock.
