I’ve recorded it and haven’t seen it yet! Can’t wait to watch it tonight as DH out with friends, he refers to her as ‘the nosy old woman’, and Father Brown as ‘that nosy old man’
I haven't seen the new episode yet. But when you read the books the author makes such a huge point of describing Vera as plain, overweight woman with no dress sense at all. She is already pretty in the TV series so I hope that they don't smarten her up too much.
I love the Vera character . She is so sensitive to others which makes her such a great detective but headstrong and straight as a dye. The actress Brenda is in great nick ( pardon the pun) for 74 The plots are lively and easy to follow. I am from the North East of England so the area of the sets are familiar Never disappoints Roll on next episode
I cringe every time I see Vera in my listings in that stupid hat. Can’t bring myself to watch it. Who, nowadays, goes around looking like Vera, whatever their age? It just looks so miserable. I’m not suggesting the plots might not be good, but last night I watched Poirot, which I love, so stylish and interesting, with a fabulous soundtrack. Life can be grim enough without tuning into Vera and the very name sums it up.
I love Vera, this series is not set on the 1960's. I really enjoyed tonights episode. I have actually seen people dressed like Vera, they were eccentric.
I look forward to the escapism of this programme on Sunday night .
