Vera fans built themselves up for bitter disappointment on Friday night as they saw that the much loved drama had been given a primetime slot on ITV, weeks after the new series was pulled off air.
However, rather than series 11 making a welcome return to screens on a different day, after being shunted from 8pm on Sundays to make way for The Good Karma Hospital and Trigger Point, the channel made the bizarre move of repeating series 10, despite the fact it was only on in 2020.
It took a few fans a while to clock that what they were watching was actually a repeat, while others were annoyed that ITV decided to show a repeat of Vera instead of giving everyone what they wanted and showing the final two episodes of series 11.
