[Closed] Happy Valley is back tonight.

Mumbling is awful (thank **** for subtitles) but I've stuck with it and it's ramping up nicely. 🙂

but did the farmer's son admit to the murders?

Yes, but only to his mother.

Ah, but did he? She put the words in to his mouth I reckon, I don't know if he actually said he'd done anything specific. Anyway, I reckon he shot her, not the other way round.

So, who's the murderer? Is it the farmer boy? Clare's alcy boyfriend? Moaning Myrtle? I reckon the kinky pics of the cop will turn up at some point too. Oooh, in't it exciting! 🙂

The boyfriend bloke is the murderer.

Did the farmer's boy actually admit to killing the women or was he trying to say he'd been sheep-rustling?

The boyfriend bloke is the murderer.

Yes, but which boyfriend? My money is on it being the detective's Mrs's boyfriend - registration number clue last week...

Registration number clue last week?

Happy Valley doesn't have a history of plot twists. I think we have our man in the farmer's son. Just a question of the rest of the plot lines playing out in the final episode.

Her sister's boyfriend will feature because he will come forward about Vicky blackmailing him which will lead to the detective that actually killed her via his now estranged wife.

The as yet unseen man with whom she is having an affair won't feature.

That's just my view, and anything is possible!

Just looked at the TV Guide blurb for next week's episode.

I won't put it up here 🙂

It'll be this fella, he's a right odd ball. Messed up in the head he is....

😉

He's a smashing little actor.

what i thought would be a good little twist is when the copper was bluffing his wife about her affair, and her not having any proof of his, that she said shed known all along about his affair with that 'blond lass that works in the dept store'. he'd have sh1t himself. then he'd have to decide whether to kill his wife or not. could still happen? unlikely tho as she would have said it at the time.
think he'll get away with it tho as its a better storyline if he does.

as for the 'who shot who' i think mum did kill son but turns out he wasnt confessing to killing the women and she killed him for nowt. it will have been sisters boyfriend who killed them.

frances will try and smuggle ryan into prison to see his dad and will be foiled.

cracking series, great acting.

The murderer is Nevison.

The Evil Knesovitches will murder the sister or the convenient saintly translator, setting things up nicely for series 3.

Tommy Lee will kill himself after MM joins the Trades Club and settles down.

Bad cop will kill either his female colleague or Ann, finally throwing himself off Stoodley Pike with Cath in hot pursuit.

Farmers wife is the murder of the prostitues

the fella locked up for the murders has been helping out the kensovites or what ever they are called

the bent cop is goint to kill or try to kill his wife, funny enough i saw her walking the dogs the other day in the woods, I should of asked her what was going to happen

moaning mumbling scottish woman that gives me the creeps, not got a theroy on this

and female cop and tommy must be headding for a show down but not sure how that will happen

No, that's all quite unlikely. Just think about where they are.

Much more likely they will all go out mountain biking, the only plot to be resolved will be the 26 vs. 27.5 vs. 29 vs. + size 🙂

lol,are you watching the same program as the rest of us???

We watched last night. It's just quality. Riddled with good actors. If the wife says next week we'll record it and watch it another day I'll be pricing up a new new patio. It's Tuesday 9pm or nothing for the finale...

Farmers wife is the murder of the prostitues

So he's married to his mum? I knew that sort of thing went on round there.

wasnt sure if it was farmers wife was his wife or his mum, but any way i think she is the one doing the killing, i think

That's a good call actually.

I thought it was his sister 😯

Who knows, I assumed mother?
Buuut, we're paddling in a very shallow gene pool round here.
A virgin in Calderdale is defined as someone who can run faster than their siblings.

i think that because at the begging of the series one of the cops said its not always men that do the horrible things, so my theroy is

she killed her son because he had been seeing the girls and in his simple mind he had been hurting them, mum is angry at the girls and kills them

he feels guilty about seeing them but not killing them so want to turn himself in, mum doesnt want the police coming round so gets rid of the son, could go on but im in a rush to go out

great program though

Bear in mind that the Police caught Peter Sutcliffe by accident.

When's it going to come out that the detectives cheating wife is actually a man called Harold?

She way laying on the whole 'person with the smashed car might have seen something' line when he was sitting on the wall.

Almost as if she was testing him, did he see her murder them?

Registration number clue last week?

The working girl who'd been attacked last week gave a partial reg number. When the detective went home and was locked out the car parked on his drive had the same partial reg. So it's either Hayley/Harold or her/his bit on the side.

Nope, that's at best coincidence. She described a white van with that partial registration number, which perfectly matched the one driven by the chap from Harry Potter who is currently languishing in the cells (it would appear) wrongly accused.

dont forget...... last one tonight.

Mumble mumble mumble body mumble mumble mumble murder mumble mumble.

Here we go....

I thought it was his sister

Turns she was his mother and sister.

That ending wasn't quite as dramatic as I expected, but all the better for it, I thought.

Wide open for a third. Definitely tamer than the first series. Perhaps the rising popularity will prompt them into buying some decent sound equipment...

What are all the comments about the sound? I thought all the dialogue was perfectly clear. Or am I missing something?

From my very first post I think I mentioned it. I have the telly on about 3/4 volume to hear it, I struggled like hell when Catherine was round at frances' house, especially when it was scenes where you couldn't actually see her speaking. It was noted quite vocally on the beebs website too regarding the poor spoken word audibility.

What are all the comments about the sound? I thought all the dialogue was perfectly clear. Or am I missing something?

Lancaster mumbles something rotten in her quest to act.

Nope, not getting it. Accent? Are the people who can't hear what is going on from more southerly climes? Maybe dealing with students all the time has left me with the ability to decipher mumbles.....

Are we meant to think that John died from his fall off the bridge onto the car?

So, both murderers died rather than being brought to justice?

And what of -

The Kinesivitche's?

The other chap from Harry Potter locked up for the murders, but clearly no choir boy?

A fairly straightforward playout of the existing storylines. Not as hard hitting as I hoped.

I don't get the complaints about mumbling. Don't think I missed a word the entire series.
Poor TV speakers perhaps?

Sound was fine here, every word a pearl.

Certainly not the accent or poor speakers, she mumbles.

Three post saying the same thing on one page, calm down petal.

Sorry was I not meant to reply?

Sound was crystal clear to me.

Shit ending though

That ending wasn't quite as dramatic as I expected, but all the better for it, I thought.

This for me. Thought it an unexpected and clever move to show whatshecalled as a victim of Tommy rather than have here go bat shit crazy and stab everyone.

I also liked how it concentrated on John as it seemed he'd get away with it for a while.

Didn't have a problem with the sound last night.

Agree on the positives of a low key ending - psychos with knives is too obvious and the non-materialising background menace of the Kinesivics through the middle was good - I get sick of TV where every character and action is absolutely consequential to the plot.

Series 3 = run in with Kinesivics

It was the copper falling off the bridge that was utterly underwhelming.

Failed miserably to really focus on the growing mental torture and missed the opportunity for a more thorough build up to him getting found out.

Was really starting to enjoy his storyline when he went home and lost the plot but it just reverted back to him looking a bit ill at work.

Also felt that wouldn't kill him.

We've always had the subtitles on.

The best bit of last night's episode was the dialogue between Catherine and Frances the nutter. It rang true with us because Mrs Gti's brother is behaving extremely irrationally and unreasonably at the moment over an inheritance and is showing signs of losing the plot.

Drac's problems are solved;

was hoping the sisters boyfriend would turn out to be bit more sinister tho....

What? He was pinching chips right off people's plates in broad daylight, how much more sinister do you want?

John's breakdown in Tesco's car park was epic.

Roll on series 3.

That was so, so good. Lancashire really is a tremendous actor.

Just caught up with it last night.

Season 3 (commissioned last week). It'll be the last one and end in a blood bath.

Knesivics and Nevison Gallagher. I think that Nev is the criminal king pin of the whole valley. I think he was the top man in the drugs ring in series 1 that had Ashley from t'farm slotted.

John's breakdown in Tesco's car park was epic

Youve not seen mine in ASDA

I too watched the last one last night and it was brilliant, top series.

Awesome stuff. The 'three day bender' boyfriend. I wonder if he is just an innocent drink?

Can't wait 🙂

Grantchester- worth a watch?

hora - Member
Grantchester- worth a watch?

No, my mum likes them both though 😕

I'd read Lancashire said she wasn't doing a third. Maybe the pounds offered got the better of her?
