Villain Decay: Darius Knezevic starts out as a person who did his own dirty work and untouchable. By the end of the series, he is under constant surveillance, is suspected of multiple murders, ends up losing his brother and one of his lieutenants, and gets arrested after Tommy implicates him in a murder.

Delighted to see Siobhan Finneran getting the attention she deserves on this thread. Her drunk acting was amazing (so few actors can do this convincingly IMO) and her words to Catherine on the street were very hard-hitting. For a moment, I thought they were going to go down the clichéd route of Catherine letting her disappear into the night, only to turn up butchered by the serial killer the following morning. I'm so glad they didn't do this, as it would have been extremely out of character for Catherine to just let her very vulnerable sister wander off in such a state.This isn’t the first we’ve heard of Gary Gaggoski’s murder on Happy Valley. In Series 1, episode 4 (BBC Writers Room script extract below), when Ashley, Lewis and Tommy are discussing what to do about their kidnap victim Ann, Lewis suggests involving someone “higher up. Somebody who can make people disappear.” When Ashley scoffs at him, he says “Gary Gaggoski. He disappeared. Tony Stead says he’s sat at t’bottom of Scammonden dam in concrete underpants.” Sally Wainwright’s script specifies that Tommy responds with a noiseless snigger/sneer. Thanks to the St Christopher medal, now we know the sneer is because Tommy knows all about Gary’s disappearance, and his corpse’s real location.

You might well expect Catherine to completely go nuts when she finds out what "Miss Wealand" has been up to, but she is surprisingly gentle with her when she confronts her, because she knows who the real villain is: Tommy. Who needs consulting detectives in flowing Belstaff coats when you've got a sweary, tea-and-wine-guzzling middle-aged goddess in a puffy parka? Lancashire might need to install a bigger mantelpiece to make room for more gongs. 5. Should there be a third series? Then Happy Valley got recommissioned. At first I thought, great! And then I thought, wait – what could possibly, plausibly happen? Happy Valley was at risk of joining the Life on Mars memorial museum of shows that couldn’t sustain a second season but were too popular not to try. As of season two, episode two, we’re on the edge. Four big storylines are vying for attention. But between them, they’re generating too many pin-perfect scenes for the overall health of the show to be a concern.Alison Garrs, the mother of Darrell Garrs introduced in Series 2.
