Happy Valley fans have been loving the third and final season of the hit BBC drama – but viewers have taken to social media to discuss one element of the first few episodes that felt unrealistic – but do you agree?
Taking to Reddit, one fan queried: "The only unrealistic thing about this season is that Rob can afford to maintain a family of four, live in a 3 hundred grand house and drive a brand new, top of the range Audi estate all on the single household salary of a PE teacher……no wonder the fridge is padlocked shut!"

Fans were quick to discuss, with one writing: " There's no way this isn't deliberate, he's either up to his eyeballs in debt or into something very dodgy," while another person added: "Maybe he’s some sort of Assistant Head or something as well as a PE teacher. That said, it’s likely all on credit. He just pays the minimum each month and it’ll all come crashing down eventually."
A third person wrote: "It's not unrealistic for people to live way above their means. It all comes crashing down for them in the end."

In the series, Mr Hepworth begins as an unkind teacher of Ryan's, who is emotionally and physically abusive to his wife, and calls the police on her when he discovers her diazepam. The villainous character has certainly hit a nerve with viewers, with one person tweeting: "I never thought I'd hate a character more than Tommy Lee Royce and then that PE teacher opened his [expletive] mouth."

Another person added: "Ryan, for pity sake don’t get wrapped up with Rob Hepworth, the worst advertisement for a P.E teacher and husband. Safe to say Ryan’s not a great judge of character. #HappyValley."
