Vera (looking smart her new coat)

Have not watched last night’s episode yet. Also never read any of the books, but when Vera was first on tv, she looked like a bag lady. Sounds like they have smartened her character up from how the books portrayed her.

It’s so well done, she’s a brilliant actress, and all her team are so well cast, I loved Joe, but like Aiden equally as much now.

The settings are wonderful, that bleakness mixed with beautiful landscapes, can’t wait for the next series.

I have a rain hat similar to Vera’s, and when I still worked I spoke straight and directly as she does.

I love the series and her macs/coats.

Doesn't look like the 1960s with mobiles, computers etc.

She is so subtle in her questioning. I enjoy the character of Jack(sp??) she is so professional and on the ball. Sad story beautifully acted.

I love it that the computer, the forensics and the telephone come up very quickly with much of the research answers so she doesn’t have to waste time doing too much investigating and boring us to death. On some programmes they make it into a six part series.

I love Vera too but I just wish they would say Ma’am as in jam not Ma’am as in smarm.

Has anyone noticed the amount of turquoise paint, walls, chairs etc in ‘Vera’

Ooooo I’ll look for that BBbevan! Is it so her brown Macintosh stand out do you think??

Yes Bbevan it’s definitely a well designed greens bluey set, including Veras outfits.

Prinawn dda, by the way ?

Just watched the first episode ( I record and watch when I get the chance). Good story - lots of threads to it. However, right at the end when Vera arrests the adoptive father for murder, surely it was not that - it was manslaughter. At no time was there any intention by him to kill his son, it was accidental, and any good lawyer could also call it self-defence, as the lad had attacked him and he was just responding to that attack when the lad was killed.
