Happy Valley piques my interest (and peaks something else!!!!!)
First, I must say there are a lot of hotties in that first series, from the younger male leads (as well as the oh-so yummy 40-something Derek Riddell) to the walk-on cops and chavs.
Second, James is glorious. The British equivalent of all-American good looks if there were such a thing (all-Brit? all-Commonwealth?). But you know: sporty, preppy, WASPy, Aryan poster boy.
He bears something of a resemblance (perhaps a slightly pouty pretty-boy version) to the very sexy Mark Valley---now there's a happy Valley for his lustful fans, though he's getting on in years.
Swoon.
