Happy Valley: Fan shares delight at having crew film outside her Yorkshire home

Halifax Happy Valley fan Miia Polso is especially excited about the upcoming season three of Happy Valley - because it was filmed on her street.

The photographer said it has been 'fascinating' having the team of between 60 and 70 - including star of the show Sarah Lancashire - on her doorstep on Bath Place in Boothtown, Halifax, in recent days.

The Happy Valley film crew were first spotted in the area on Tuesday morning (Jan 18) and are understood to have been there on Wednesday as well.

Miia said people living on the street received notes through their doors before Christmas to let them know the crew would be filming there, and another a couple of weeks ago with contact details for the production company.

"It's just been fascinating to see how much work goes into it," she said.

"And it's been such a large crew, and they do so many takes. They'll film something three to five times, if not more.
