It has been revealed that Sarah Lancashire was vocal in how Happy Valley came to an end after she 'wasn't happy' with the original script. The actress has won high praise for her portrayal of Sergeant Catherine Cawood after the hit BBC One series returned for one final outing.
The multi-Bafta award-winning series follows Sarah as no-nonsense West Yorkshire Sergeant as she looks after her family. And viewers had been on the edge of their seats as they turned in every Sunday for the next installment of the gritty drama as it entered its third - and last - series, nearly 10 years after first bursting onto our screens with Sarah in the lead role alongside the likes of James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce and Siobhan Finneran as Clare Cartwright.
But it all came to an end on Sunday night (February 6) after it took seven years for the third season to hit screens following the success of series two back in 2016, which came two years after Happy Valley made its debut. And if the reaction is anything to go by, the final-ever series didn't disappoint with more than seven million people watching the final as it unfolded.
