Default UK TV you've surpassed yourselves.

We are both still shaking after watching Happy Valley episode 4

It's the most full on thing I've ever seen.


To think I only started watching it because I figured Sarah Lancashire of last Tango in Halifax was a bit of a decen Gilf.


Bugger me dead. I need a scotch.

They've also started showing 2 episodes (back to back) of Casualty on Fridays. Should finally catch up to the UK in a few weeks.......

One of the best things I have watched in a long time. Great acting by all but Sarah Lancashire has been fantastic. Can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm struggling to think of a more evil charactor on a TV program out of the UK than the guy in this one.

Eldest and I have just done a three episode marathon. What a great series. Dreading what's likely to happen in the next episode. We'll maybe watch it tomorrow.

Plenty of people are saying they are left shaking, or can't watch a complete episode without a break..can't remember a tv show doing this to me for a long long while.

I will have to watch this somehow, despite not having cable. I have read a fair bit about it.

Steve Pemberton is remarkably versatile- he wrote and starred in that warped comedy ' League of Gentlemen', he was in Benidorm, appears in Horrible Histories and now this..

Watched 3 and 4 last night

It's a good show but if the plot didn't have more holes than a jumper full of holes, it would be perfect

This is also a great series:

From There to Here

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/pro...-there-to-here

"When caught up in the 1996 bomb which transformed Manchester forever, Daniel Cotton (Philip Glenister) is changed too. He becomes restless and reckless, and embarks on a double life which might blow his world apart all over again."
