Happy Valley fans were all left with the same complaint about the penultimate episode. The BBC cop drama will come to an end this Sunday (February 5) and it's come too soon for viewers, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
During last night's (February 30) episode, news of Tommy Lee Royce’s escape spread and put the Cawood family on high alert. The instalment left next week’s finale teed up for an explosive confrontation - and fans were soon left taking to social media to have their say.
Ahead of the opening credits, a BBC continuity announcer, said: "Lock the door, silence the phone, and nobody speak to me. I've been waiting all week. Now on BBC One, with strong language, and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting, the penultimate ever episode."

"If Catherine dies next week, we're all rioting." Echoing their comments, someone else said: "I'm so excited yet so sad as it's one step closer to the end."
