There will be a new face in the Vera cast this weekend as the new series of the hit detective drama moves to Newcastle city centre for its latest episode.
After nearly a year's wait for a fix of some new Vera action, fans of all things DCi Stanhope had their patience rewarded earlier this month, when the show returned, kicking off with the remaining episodes of series 11 - Vital Signs and The Way The Wind Blows.
With those done and dusted, Vera series kicked off on Sunday night, with Brenda Blethyn's super sleuth tasked with solving the death of a man whose body was found tied to a sailing boat. The episode, called Against The Tide, had many twists and turns, with a recognisable face from the 80s, Watching star Paul Bown in the thick of it.
