The region's best-loved detective was back in Northumberland for three days of filming ahead of seven new Vera episodes which will hit screens in 2023.
Brenda Blethyn and her co-star Kenny Doughty were in Corbridge ahead of the village's Christmas Tree Festival, the village's busiest weekend of the year. The latest round of filming is based on the book The Rising Tide, which came out in September this year.
Businesses throughout the village were transformed into those of Kimmerston village: Baby at the Bank, a shop inside the village's old Lloyds Bank, temporarily became a solicitors' office; Tea and Tipple Coffee Shop became the Bread and Olive Delicatessen; and Corbridge Garden Rooms was renamed... you guessed it, Kimmerston Garden Rooms.
