Vera star Brenda Blethyn has poured cold water on the idea of a prequel series to her long-running drama which is about to end.
Vera season 14, which will begin on ITV on New Year's Day, will be the last time she plays DCI Vera Stanhope. This has led to speculation that ITV might create a new series featuring a young Vera. Of course, they did that spectacularly successfully with Endeavour, the prequel to Inspector Morse starring Shaun Evans.
