Viewers tuning into the latest and last series of BBC drama Happy Valley have found themselves amused after Sarah Lancashire’s Catherine Cawood described how she was on the lookout for an ‘alien liaison officer’ in episode four. During the scene in question, the character explained to her colleague why.
"Gorkem saw a strange light moving in an erratic manner over Erringden Moor at 5am yesterday morning so he started googling stuff and found out about that bobby in Todmorden in 1980," Cawood said. "He thinks he’s been abducted by aliens."
While Cawood might be hard pushed to find an officer who specialises in ‘alien liaison’, the Todmorden UFO mystery is a real thing. Read on to find out all about it. For more TV and showbiz stories, subscribe to our newsletter here.
