Sarah Lancashire could never be a police officer.
The 49-year-old actress portrays Sgt. Catherine Cawood in new drama 'Happy Valley' and, though she found life "interesting" when she worked with some real-life officers to research the role, she doesn't think it's a job she would be willing to take on.
She said: "One of the most interesting things I learnt when I went out with them was how undermanned they are and also that their life can change within five minutes.
"We had this incident where we were called out to a house where the bailiffs had turned up and needed to take some belongings away. It turned into the filthiest fight and that's when I stayed in the van. The whole day changed. It's interesting, but it's not for me."
Former 'Coronation Street' star Sarah worked hard to ensure she was convincing in her role, and felt a "huge relief" when told she was allowed to show compassion to victims.
She explained: "Lisa [the police advisor] was always on set to help with the procedural stuff, she had a very keen eye on making sure everything was accurate.
"I really did need her there all the time, just for tiny things like putting handcuffs on or in one scene I deliver bad news to somebody and she said, 'Look, it's OK to cry and hug them.'
"That was a huge relief because it's human nature and your instinct, but it tends not to be how we see that world portrayed."
'Happy Valley' - which also stars Steve Pemberton, James Norton and Siobhan Finneran - begins on BBC One on Tuesday night (29.04.14).

Stefan Dennis says security was increased on the set of 'Neighbours' to protect the identity of Kate Ramsay's killer.
The veteran 'Neighbours' actor - who plays Paul Robinson in the Australian soap - says the cast would get a "rap across the knuckles" if they were careless with the script, and all final copies had to be shredded after filming to prevent anyone from finding out who murdered Paul's niece in the super secretive storyline.
Stefan exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "If it's a genuine mistake you would probably get wrapped across the knuckles if they found out you had been careless, but all the scripts at work get taken to the shredders. We have security bins at work, we are not allowed to throw them out at home.
"There is that slight danger of someone going through our rubbish it's happened before. Someone once left there scripts in a car and it got stolen and they had to re-write the entire block. So they are very careful and the security is quite high on the scripts."
Stefan thinks viewers will have a tough time figuring out who Kate's murderer is following her shock death in the episode which aired on Channel 5 last Monday (21.04.14) when she was shot dead and collapsed in the arms of boyfriend Mark Brennan, just after accepting his marriage proposal on her birthday.
He said: "We all knew from the start [who had killed Kate] but in saying that, it's going to be a drawn out process for the next couple of months in quite a clever way, there is going to be a lot of twists and turns. I have to take my hats off to the writers."

Holly Willoughby and Keith Lemon have praised ITV's new breakfast show, 'Good Morning Britain'.
The news programme - which features a quartet of presenters including Susanna Reid, Ben Shephard, Charlote Hawkins and Sean Fletcher - got off to a flying start this morning (28.04.14) as it replaced 'Daybreak' in the early morning slot on ITV.
'This Morning' presenter Holly was one of the viewers who awoke extra early to catch a glimpse of former 'BBC Breakfast' star Susanna, 43, on her new show and it seems the blonde beauty was impressed.
She wrote on Twitter: "Good Morning Britain is looking rather lovely... Good morning y'all! Xxx #goodmorningbritain (sic)"
Meanwhile, 'Celebrity Juice' comic Keith was happy to wake up to Susanna and former Sky News presenter Charlotte on TV.
He tweeted: "Enjoying this new morning telly show #GMB some tidy birds. (sic)"
On the first show, Susanna confidently conducted a one-on-one interview with employment minister Esther McVey regarding new benefit laws in Britain, and later she and Ben, 39, welcomed their first celebrity guest, Paul O'Grady, for a chat.
'Good Morning Britain' has earned positive reviews, with some critics likening it to fast-paced morning news show 'Good Morning America' in the US.
The new breakfast show's set is also a drastic change from the sofa-and-coffee table set-up seen on 'Daybreak' as the show's hosts are instead seated around a large glass desk for the majority of the programme.
It seems Susanna, Ben, Sean, 40, and Charlotte, 38, have already hit it off as they finished each other's sentences and quipped about their "chemistry".

Kym Marsh has called Stephanie Waring "bitter".
The 'Coronation Street' actress took to Twitter to defend herself against accusations she began dating new love interest Dan Hooper just months after he split from the 'Hollyoaks' star.
Kym wrote: "#bitter...Never fails to surprise me what some people do for money (sic)"
The comments come after Stephanie slammed Kym in a Sunday newspaper calling her former pal "heartless" after hearing of her alleged romance with Dan - the father of her three-year-old daughter, Lexi Grace - three months after she confided in Kym about her relationship troubles during a night out at the National Television Awards.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I'm shocked and upset. I can't believe Kym has done this to me. It is killing me. There is an unwritten rule that if you are friends with somebody you don't go near their ex partners. Especially when children are involved. He's not just some guy that I went out with for a year. This is a man I spent half a decade with and had a child with."
Kym has denied claims she is in a relationship with Dan and her representatives told MailOnline the soap star is "hurt" by the accusations, adding that the pair are "entitled to socialise with whomever they wish".
However, Dan seemingly confirmed his relationship with Kym by posting a photo of him kissing the mother-of-four on Twitter on Sunday night (27.04.14).
The caption reads: "@msm4rsh and hoopsy great night. #nobulls**t (sic)".

'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Aliona Vilani has married her "soulmate" Vincent Kavanagh.
The 29-year-old star has revealed that she married the sales director in a private ceremony in St. Thomas in the US Virgin Isles, with only her parents and his mother as guests, and she's admitted her new husband is her perfect match.
Speaking to Britain's HELLO! magazine about how she was introduced to Vincent by actress Anita Dobson, who competed on 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2011, she explained: "She [Anita] said, 'I really want you to meet this guy. Give him a chance, he's so lovely. So I did and here we are.
"Vincent is a lot of fun and adores me. He is the sweetest man I have ever met. He is my soulmate. You never know when you're going to meet someone who is so right for you. My parents keep saying they couldn't have imagined I would meet someone who is so similar to me."
The Kazakhstan-born dancer, who wore glamorous dresses every week while on Strictly, admits she found it hard to find the perfect gown for her wedding day.
She said: "It was important to choose a dress that would be right for a whole day at the beach. I didn't want a big fluffy skirt, I wanted something slinky. So many of the dresses I looked at reminded me of ones I've already danced in."
Aliona has confessed that following her "perfect" and "very special" wedding ceremony, she's now planning to try for a child with Vincent.
She admitted: "I look forward to having a family. To me, that is the most important thing."

Micky Dumoulin hopes his 'Britain's Got Talent' performance will help him reunite with his dad.
The supermarket worker got four big thumbs up from the judges after his emotional performance of 'Bring Him Home' from 'Les Misérables' on Saturday night (26.04.14), and is hoping the song will encourage his estranged father to get in touch with him.
He told The Sun newspaper: "My dad left home and we aren't in contact. It's just one of those things that happens with families.
"He has always known I loved singing and has seen me sing before but he didn't know I auditioned for 'Britain's Got Talent'. I hope it's a nice surprise.
"We haven't spoken in ages. If he gets in touch it would be nice. I wish him all the best."
The singing hopeful carries his great-grandfather's handkerchief everywhere with him as a lucky charm, and believes it helped him get through to the next round on the ITV talent show.
He said: "He introduced me to singing and music."
Micky initially auditioned for 'The X Factor' in 2008, but didn't make the cut, and believes he has what it takes to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams this time around.
He said: "I was only 19 when I did 'X Factor', I've grown up since then. I've learned the trade and have more confidence. I chose 'BGT' over 'The Voice' and 'X Factor' this time as it's the best show in the world."

Simon Cowell has lost £4 million on 'I Can't Sing!'.
The critically-acclaimed stage show - which is based on 'The X Factor', is to close on May 10, just six weeks after it opened at the London Palladium, and it has now emerged that it is one of the most expensive shows ever to have such a short run.
Simon's company Syco put up more than half of the £7 million budget for the production - which was written by Harry HIll and stars Nigel Harman - with Stage Entertainment UK, Glass Half Full Productions and Just For Laugh Theatricals also investing.
A number of factors are believed to have contributed to the closure of the show, including steep ticket prices, with the most expensive seats going for a staggering £87.50.
One source said: "The show just didn't convince X Factor fans outside London it was worth making the trek and forking out a small fortune.
"London theatregoers are a particular bunch and many would say they aren't fans of Simon and his shows."
However, theatre insiders are still shocked by the show closing so early as it was expected to run for at least six months.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Tickets just weren't selling and everyone in theatre was saying it would only last six months.
"That it's been pulled so quickly has stunned us all. Ticket sales must have been even worse than we all thought."
