We'll likely hear why and how Clare and Neil became involved in accompanying Ryan. They get chatting with Catherine sat directly behind Clare in the coffee shop she's sat in. They pile into the car, Ryan changing out of his football kit in the back and Catherine tailing their car in Clare mentions that they're in Leeds, with the boys out shopping. She reveals the truth to Richard, telling him that she's not going to confront them but rather, sit and observe them.

The usually composed and blunt-speaking Catherine is left visibly stunned by the omission so Mike continues: "Looks like they started visiting him just over a year ago. It's your Clare and Neil Ackroyd – is that her partner? What a turn-up for the books.

[The Rig](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rig-Serah-Dlaine/dp/B071JXY9G9) for a straightforward thriller. For all that, like that other macabre watery tale The Terror, The Rig knows how to build a suffocating atmosphere (sweeping cameras; a background pounding like a heartbeat) and remembers to be exciting: smogs; fireballs; Glen doing his growly “Don’t mess with me, I’m an alpha” thing. Other times, the eco/oil theme, while worthy (see also State of Happiness and the latest series of Borgen), skews the script, with clunky asides about sustainable fishing, the Earth’s crust and an extinction event (“The great dying”). [Keeley Hawes](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/keeley-hawes), plays Stonehouse’s spouse, Barbara, as an adoring, unquestioning trolley hostess of a woman, until she finds her bite. A pharmacist (Amit Shah) on the make and out of his depth. Written by John Preston (who wrote the book on which A Very English Scandal was based), it stars Matthew Macfadyen as John Stonehouse, the Labour politician and real-life Reggie Perrin who in 1974 faked his own death, leaving his clothes on Miami Beach. Despite sterling efforts to infuse Stonehouse with bumbling sweetness, he still registers as a shabby chancer; a high-placed grifter who gets caught – and we’ve all had our fill of that. A PE teacher/coercive abuser (Mark Stanley) with a diazepam-addicted wife who has fingerprint bruises on her arms. Turns out that the man who nearly kicked her to death, and is her dead daughter’s rapist and Ryan’s probable father, is connected to the reservoir corpse. Six months on, it’s the 16th birthday of Cawood’s fawn-eyed grandson Ryan (still well played by Rhys Connah). Even as Cawood plans her imminent retirement (a driving holiday in the Himalayas; get her!), trouble is spitting up from the mudflats. In the spirit of “limbering up”, I’d rewatched the first two series: were they really that good?

According to Joanna, Rob makes a habit of targeting his students only to be the hero to lift them out of the depths. Ryan seems to be his latest project, and I’m sure the warring pair are going to have plenty more scraps. Still, I’m of the opinion that Ryan shouldn’t have anything to do with his evil father, so I hope she finds a way to put a stop to it. All that and his wife is after a brand new decking to the tune of £15,000 and his daughter is nagging him for driving lessons. My advice would be to hand himself in to the police and offer to help them nick the Kneževićs in return for some grace in sentencing. That, and how great it would be to follow Catherine’s (Sarah Lancashire) eventual travels to the Himalayas in her new truck.

Sarah Lancashire delivers another great performance, but it's Siobhan Finneran who is left to shine here – can their relationship recover?

Conversely, the crime boss in question may be involved in murder and people trafficking, but he’s also trying to get elected onto Bradford Council. Let this be a warning to all chemists: stay on the straight and narrow. Faisal (Amit Shah) is in a spiral of panic as the local crime gang threatens his family, and Joanna (Mollie Winnard), the neighbour he has been supplying drugs, veers between blackmail threats and plans to murder her abusive husband. Clare answered the phone to her and pretended to be in Leeds, unaware that Catherine was sitting yards away.

Happy Valley's third and final series kicked off at the start of the year as Sarah Lancashire returns as Sergeant Catherine Cawood one last time.

“I think Clare was preparing a sandwich but I can’t remember what the conversation was about. The actress said: “She’s now moved out of the house that she shared with Catherine. Fans have waited six years to catch up with the cast of Happy Valley as series three will centre heavily on Catherine’s grandson and the character needed a substantial amount of time to grow up. Along with the final series focusing on the deep-rooted rift between Tommy and Catherine, viewers will also see a local pharmacist in another part of the valley get in over his head when a neighbour is arrested. She recalled: “My first day of filming on Series one was in the mission - Clare answering a call from Catherine. Starring in the series from the start, actress Siobhan Finneran has played a part in displaying the strong relationship between Clare and Catherine.
