Nine years after it became an instant ratings smash for the BBC and just over a month over its return to TV, Happy Valley will air its final episode on Sunday night. But many fans have been left asking the same question - will it ever come back?

Since series one, Catherine has been up to her neck in turmoil both in and outside of work, largely down to her arch nemesis Tommy Lee Royce, the villain who raped and impregnated her daughter Becky, before she took her won life after giving birth.
