Brenda Blethyn has heaped praise on a Northumberland pub and its 'vey hospitable' staff and customers after the popular watering hole had a name change to play a crucial part in Vera's new series.
Fans have had to wait for nearly a year to get a new Vera fix, with the remainder of series 11 unexpectedly pulled from ITV at the start of 2022, despite the fact there were two episodes remaining. After being kept in the dark for ages on when Vera would be back and what happened to the 'missing' episodes, there was big news last week when ITV announced that the long-running crime drama would make its return on Sunday, January 15.
Vera, a huge ratings winner for ITV for over a decade now, will occupy it usual 8pm Sunday night slot for the next six weeks, as viewers can expect to enjoy six feature length stories, based on the books of Tyneside based author Ann Cleeves.
