Vera

Looking forward to it Jaxjacky and Vigilant on BBC 1. Grantchester is coming back as well I like Robson Green.

New series tonight, 8pm, ITV

I love Vera, I’m so pleased a new series is starting. I’ve not had any new crime dramas to watch recently, I need my fix!
I always find it strange that I find these crime dramas so relaxing.

I love Vera but as a local I would go further and say the accent is awful, it's completely distracting sometimes.

A Vera fan here too, but as a local - her accent just isn’t right, pet. It’s not bad, but just not right. Love the locations - again we know that crossing the Tyne Bridge doesn’t lead to the coast in 5 minutes, but it’s ‘poetic license’. In an old series, I believe she was diagnosed with angina, so perhaps that explains her difficulty on certain terrain-maybe that could become more important in future?
Still keen to see the new series though.

There is a new series starting next week.

I’ve been watching what I assume are repeats of Vera on ITV3, mainly for the scenery but I find it very dreary and depressing. I’m currently watching it with the sound off….

I recently heard that Brenda Blethin is from Ramsgate in Kent. I always thought she was from Newcastle way....or is that Vera? And yes, she should have retired years ago but glad she hasn’t. Always enjoyable.

Oh you’ve got me curious now gd!
We record Vera and watch it when we feel
like it so I haven’t heard the advert!

janea I didn’t mean that music, but the music in the “feminist” advert that trailed Itv drama. It sounded like a bit of Elgar but I can’t dig it up anywhere. Thanks for replying, anyway! I’m sure I’ll get it out of my head soon!

Bit ? doesn't take much!
I thought this series of Vera had finished.

A bit more about the composer though it doesn’t mention the Vera tune.

I think it was composed for the series greyduster

I have been trying to find out what the background music to the Vera trailer is. It’s cello music but can’t seem to identify it. They only play a few bars. It’s nagging at me!

I've never watched Vera and I'm most put out that this coming Friday they have taken a Coronation Street off to show a two hour episode of Vera.

It’s Brenda Blethin’s birthday this month and she will be 73.

What is happening to Endeavour ? Is he out completely now.
Kalu has many on my list as well.
Vera is good. I have no idea how old Brenda Blethin is in real life.
I still like Lewis and miss Morse, the grumpy old git.

I quite like Granchester. Its growing on me. Its going in a different direction.
I watch too much TV .

Started to watch this series on catch up. Quite good but the very loud music really spoils it for me.Does anyone else find this to be the case??

I was so looking forward to this last one but sadly it is from a very recent book which I had read.

Thanks! Going back now to see how I missed this!

Thanks!

We love Vera. We also love Endeavour which replaces Vera next Sunday.

I always watch Midwives first then Vera on plus one my ideal 3 hours of TV on a Sunday evening.

o2barichgirl - it's as Cherrytree said, Vera bought the coat that had been in the window and that was the identical style to the one she was wearing.

I like looking for the locations too. Last week, the hotel by the river was not on the Tyne. It was a hotel on the river Eden near Carlisle.
I have really enjoyed this series of Vera. I hope they make some more.
