Sophie Rundle has starred in two top TV dramas that have used Calderdale as a backdrop over the past nine years – but one scene stands out to viewers more than the rest.

The actor has portrayed Ann Walker in Gentleman Jack and PC Kirsten McAskill in Happy Valley, both projects created by writer Sally Wainwright.

But it was a scene in Happy Valley that has stuck with viewers since it first aired in 2014, and in a recent interview Sophie apologised for “traumatising the entire nation”.

In the first series’ third episode, PC McAskill met her end at the hands of the evil Tommy Lee Royce, played by James Norton, as he gruesomely reversed his car over her several times, killing her as he attempted to kidnap Ann Gallagher.
