Happy Valley The Complete Series 1-3 [DVD]

Product Information

It is beautifully written by Sally Wainwright, draws an astonishing performance from Sarah Lancashire—and between them, they have created something truly unmissable.

During the reign of David Tennant's Tenth Doctor in the mid-00s, his outspoken and brilliant companion Donna Noble helped save existence — and for her troubles had to forget all the incredible interstellar adventures she'd gone on. It’s not Fogerty’s original intention for the meaning of the song, but what I think is great about some of these needle drops is we can bring our interpretation to it, and it works. It's a deeply significant part of her life, but importantly, the series insists on it not being the defining aspect of it. Her world is turned upside down when the man she believes is responsible for her daughter’s death – Tommy Lee Royce – is released from prison. Critics Consensus: Pete Davidson's second crack at playing a fictionalized version of himself may feel faintly recycled, but a terrific supporting cast and some surprising depth ensure this series adds up to more than just Bupkis.Shows retain their Certified Fresh status even if they fall below 75%, as long as the scores stay at 70% or above. I wasn’t responsible for the Squirrel Nut Zippers song in season one, but it did start this journey with that sound. Meanwhile, senior HMET officers Detective Superintendent Andy Shepard and Detective Inspector Jodie Shackleton begin to suspect that the supposed fourth victim of the serial killer, Victoria Fleming, was murdered by someone else. The Last Valley was released on VHS by Magnetic Video Corporation in 1981, and on CED by CBS/Fox Video in 1983.

Anyone attracted by the show's cosy name and the thought of some majestic West Yorkshire scenery may be taken aback by the violence, of which there is plenty, much of it extreme (Happy Valley is the ironic name given to the area by the police, who deal daily with the drug problems crippling its residents). When his request for a payrise is turned down, accountant Kevin Weatherill (Steve Pemberton) hatches a plan to kidnap his boss's daughter, with the help of a group of local villains, including Royce. Various artists who will be used throughout the series make their first appearance here, including Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones, along with the Guess Who, David Bowie, and Petula Clark.They don’t box themselves in, so it’s fun to get to include different sounds and different genres of the decade. Foes new and old came to play, ranging from the malevolently cute Meep to the preachy Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris).
