Passers-by are more used to spotting Vera in action around the North East but this week it was the cast and crew of a feature film that were bringing some drama to Tyneside streets.
Filming for new film Blue Jean was taking place in Gosforth on Wednesday, where the focus of attention was on a quiet residential seat.
This is believed to be the second week of the local shoot and it appears that the film's location-spotters had our Vera's sharp eye for detail as filming happened to be focused on the same street - Moor Crescent - which has also featured in a scene from the ITV crime drama.
