Brenda Blethyn has let slip plot details for the first episode of Vera series 12 as filming starts in the North East.
While ITV still haven't shown the final two episodes of series 11, with fans of all things DCI Stanhope left hanging for parts five and six after the show was pulled off air again in January, it's now all systems go for Vera series 12.
Author Ann Cleeves, the woman responsible for the books that have inspired the long-running ITV drama, revealed on Twitter that the Vera cast and crew had arrived in Northumberland to begin production on the new run.
