EXT. PATROL CAR, SCAMMONDEN ROAD. EVENING 7. 17.15 1
Dusk. KIRSTEN drives along Scammonden road. She can’t talk
for laughing. She’s on her radio to CATHERINE (point to
point:
that means no-one else can hear their conversation).All fast and daft and over-lapping
KIRSTEN:
(eyes lit up, delighted)
You are kidding me!

INT. NORLAND ROAD POLICE STATION, CATHERINE’S DESK. 2
EVENING 7. 17.16
CATHERINE:
Not.
KIRSTEN:
You’re lying.
CATHERINE:
Nope.
KIRSTEN:
That’s disgusting.
CATHERINE’s at her desk, staring at her computer screen
(which she’s bored with), and listening to KIRSTEN (which
she’s much more amused by - )
CATHERINE:
Is it? Why? You think about it. If
you’re in love with a sheep, surely
world‘d be to want to shag its
brains out.
KIRSTEN:
No you are, you’re winding me up.
CATHERINE:
They don’t call it animal husbandry
for nothing. Why d’you think they
wear wellies? Farmers. Forget the
mud. It’s to slot the sheep’s hind
legs down
KIRSTEN:
It is not!

CATHERINE:
-and keep ‘em rrrrigid while
you’re giving ‘em one up the bee-
hind.
KIRSTEN:
Oh (
posh voice a la Siobhan
Sharpe from 2012)
shut up.
Pron. ‘shot op’.
CATHERINE:
Do you not know anything about the
countryside? Do you honestly think
they’d waste time legislating
against it if it didn’t really
happen?
KIRSTEN:
I suppose I’m attracted to Ollie,
and he’s a bit of a beast.
CATHERINE:
Well there you go, y’see. It takes
all sorts, I rest my case. If
y’didn’t want to see the funny side
you should never’ve joined the
police force. Service. Force.
KIRSTEN:
I have to say, Mr.Kershaw was
unusually upset about being told
one of his sheep had been knocked
down at side o’ t’road.
CATHERINE:
They always are! I’m telling you,
it’s a very special relationship
these farmers have with their
sheep. Draw your own conclusions.
KIRSTEN’s come to a halt as a T-junction. A white van speeds
past in front of her.
KIRSTEN:
Oooh! Gotta go. Schumacher’s just
streaked past in a white tranny. I
think he’s trying to smash the land
speed record, bless him. And he’s
got a tail light out. I might give
him a tug.

CATHERINE:
Okay, well you be careful - and
don’t be long - I want to send
everyone home in ten minutes. I
wanna go home in ten minutes.

3 INT/EXT. WHITE VAN/SCAMMONDEN ROAD. EVENING 7. 17.17 3
LEWIS drives along nervously when in his wing mirror he sees
the blue rotating light, which sends his nerves through the
roof.
LEWIS:
(a murmur)
Shit.
He tries not to panic, tells himself it might not be him it’s
after.
CUT TO:
4 INT. KIRSTEN’S CAR. EVENING 7. 17.18 4
KIRSTEN’s on her radio
KIRSTEN:
Bravo November nine-five-one-two,
could you P.N.C. a vehicle for me
please?
RADIO:
We’re just changing shifts, nine
five-one-two, can you give us two
minutes?
KIRSTEN:
Thanks.
KIRSTEN flashes her headlights, and issues a quick burst of
siren.
CUT TO:
5 INT. VAN. EVENING 7. 17.19 5
LEWIS is further freaked by the headlights and siren, but
hopes he’s being told to get out of the way, so makes the
decision to do the thing you’re supposed to do when a police
car’s trying to get somewhere: he indicates and pulls in.
HAPPY VALLEY. EPISODE THREE. BY SALLY WAINWRIGHT 4.
The police car overtakes him and - much to his terror - slows
up and pulls in front of LEWIS. He’s gone ashen, his mind’s
gone into a blind panic, he feels sick, he doesn’t have a
clue what to do.
