Vera.

Loved it god bless the north east I love it. But I’m biased and I love watching this whodunnit.

I can easily accept Brenda Blethyn as Vera, no problem with her age. What was distracting last night was the very obvious 'social distancing' that had taken place during filming. No matter the sometimes clever camera angles, scenes looked quite unnatural and 'posed' for too much of it. Still enjoyed it overall.

I've only read one book, but that was full of references to Vera fielding comments about retirement and about her "working too hard at her age". And she wanted to go on & knew she was still competent, she's nothing if not stubborn and ageism is illegal these days...

I’m 75 and will make sure I don’t sit dribbling in a corner. I have videod Vera and will give her a whirl.

I must say I am loving Around the World in 80 Days. I want to be Miss Fix.

We watched the latest episode last night and really enjoyed it!

I come and go with Vera, the series. Like most police series, I find the earlier ones better.

Age-wise, I suppose she's the same as David Jason's Frost - it really doesn't affect my response to the programme.

What does bug me every time is that the first time I saw Aiden in anything he was Petula Gordeno's teenage toyboy in dinnerladies. I can't shift the image.....

OH watching a very old series of Maigret this afternoon. And there she was, Vera as a young woman. Recognised it straight away, but wasn't sure who, for a few seconds.

and next in the series, couldn't believe my eyes- Toyah Wilcox! Never knew she was an actress before. (sorry, digress!)

I've enjoyed Vera for years but, sadly, I really do think it's past its sell by date. Much too predictable with format pretty much the same on each episode.

I enjoyed it ?

I love Vera, never get tired watching it and the scenery is just beautiful.

I enjoyed it and I like Brenda Blethyn, but I don't think the Vera in the books would colour her hair.
