Evelyn Ward and David E.M. Croft have less than a week to bring the cast and crew of a BAFTA winning short back together before losing BBC funding. They won a BAFTA, the BBC want them, but they all hate each other (Classic waste of our license fee).
Happy Valley is a dark, funny, multi-layered thriller revolving around the personal and professional life of Catherine, a dedicated, experienced, hard-working copper. She is also a bereaved mother who looks after her orphaned grandchild.
