Connections Vera by DJ Forrest




2011 – present

Vera is written by Ann Cleeves, who also wrote the Shetland series and novels. Vera is a British crime drama series starring Brenda Blethyn who plays Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope of the Northumberland & City Police. She’s very much a modern day, middle aged, Miss Marple and never stops till she’s uncovered the truth, even if it means going around the houses several times until she gets there. She battles constantly with her health and has close bonds with her young sergeants Joe Ashworth and Aiden Healy.
The series was first broadcast on the ITV channel on 1st May 2011 and has 8 series under its belt. We look forward to a ninth series!

As ever, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.
