Sophie Rundle may have only appeared in a few episodes of Happy Valley, but her murder remains one of the most horrible deaths in television history.
The 34-year-old actress played officer Kirsten McAskill for three episodes of the first season until Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton) backed his car over her and then drove over her again to ensure he’d done his job correctly.
It was a true rug pull, right up there with the’red wedding’ and Bradley tumbling off The Queen Vic.
Yet, it was’very unexciting’ to film.
‘The car slowly reversed towards me, and suddenly it reversed over a sandbag,’ Sophie told Radio Times, yet people still ask her about it a decade later.
‘I’m fine, no one did a three-point turn over me,’ she teased. ‘It’s really stayed with people, I think because it’s so brutal.
‘I’d like to apologise for traumatising the entire nation. I feel sorry for my parents who had to watch that.’
