Gritty award-winning drama Happy Valley roared back on to our TV screens last night to a warm welcome.
But although many appreciated the quality of the script and the acting, there were many concerns about the sound quality.
Lots of fans commenting on social media made reference to the sound, which often made it difficult to hears stars such as Sarah Lancashire and James Norton.
It is not the first time programme makers have been hit with complaints about the dialogue. The drama series Jamaica Inn attracted plaudits but also many complaints about the mumbling dialogue.
Happy Valley, written by Huddersfield-born Sally Wainwright, was filmed extensively in Huddersfield and Calderdale.
