Wallsend was given a slice of the primetime TV spotlight on Sunday night, with various locations in the town used for the new series of Vera, as viewers were left wondering just where the latest episode was filmed.
Last year, an eagle eyed Vera fan snapped a photo of Vera stars Brenda Blethyn and Kenny Doughty looking 'intense' as they shot a scenes in a café and ITV viewers got to see that very scene as episode three of the hit drama's 12th series went on in Vera's usual 8pm slot right after Dancing on Ice.
The feature length tale, called Blue, tasked no nonsense sleuth DCI Stanhope with getting to the bottom of the death of a police constable, whose body was found in a lake. The investigation saw Brenda's famous on screen alias ruffle a few feathers on both sides of the law and, as well as being fully invested in the plot over the course of the two hour instalment, Vera viewers also got to do some location spotting.
