BBC drama Happy Valley has been nominated as best drama series in the prestigious Rose d’Or Awards, which honour the best TV and radio shows around the world.
The police drama, starring Sarah Lancashire, is set in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire and was made by Salford-based Red Production Company.

There were complaints about the sound in series two, which ended in March, but the drama drew audiences of more than eight million per episode.
