Vera fans not from Newcastle and a few who were unaware of the 'hidden' gem on their own doorstep, were left in awe of a stunning library that featured in the latest episode of the hit drama.
Normality has been restored to Sunday nights for impatient Vera fans who had grown tired of waiting for new episodes featuring Ann Cleeves' much loved character. Vera returned to ITV in January, with its comeback kicking off with the remaining episodes from series 11 - which had gone 'missing' when Vera was shunted from its usual 8m slot last year, in favour of the latest series of The Good Karma Hospital and the launch of Trigger Point.
On Sunday night, lovers of all things DCI Stanhope were treated to the second episode of series 12 - For The Grace of God - which saw the Vera plot switch to the centre of Newcastle, after the body of an ex serviceman played by Our Girl star Mark Armstrong, was discovered amongst mounds of rubbish on the Quayside.
