Brenda Blethyn has lifted the lid on some behind the scenes trickery used by the Vera crew, that ITV viewers won't have a clue about. And it's all to do with her character's famous Land Rover.
Now that the latest series of the hit drama has come to an end, Brenda has bowed out of the primetime spotlight once again, with millions of viewers tuning into watch her in action in last Sunday's series finale The Darkest Evening. Things looked rather bleak for Brenda's legendary alias at one point when, after shots were fired, Vera fell to the ground with blood pouring from her head.
Thankfully, after the drama returned from a well timed ad break, during which Vera fans who hadn't already ready the Ann Cleeves novel held their breath, it was revealed that, rather than being shot, Vera had just banged her head on the wall in front of her and fallen to the floor.
