There are SIX episodes in Happy Valley's third and final series, airing on Sunday nights at 9pm on BBC One for the next few weeks. There are also a number of new faces including Amit Shah as the troubled pharmacist, Faisal Bhatti, that has got himself in too deep, Mark Stanley as abusive teacher and husband, Rob Hepworth, and Mollie Winnard as Rob Hepworth's desperate wife, Joanna Hepworth, who was brutally murdered in the last episode after bribing Faisal to help her escape her cruel and controlling husband.

Although the show is well written, its main selling point is that it revolves around two standout performances. As Norman, Freddie Highmore does a terrific job of foreshadowing the monster he will eventually become (taxidermy, anyone?) while remaining sweet and sympathetic throughout. He brings a classmate flowers when her father ends up in hospital, but he is also becoming aware that there is something wrong with him. "Sometimes you hear and you see things that aren't there," explains Norma. "It's like some kind of trance or something."The name "Happy Valley" is what local police in the Calder Valley call the area because of its drug problem.
