Riley Jones has given Vera fan an update on how production is going on the new series of the hit drama, as shoppers at Gateshead's Metrocentre got a shock when they spotted them filming there on Monday.
It's now been four months since the last run of the long running ITV show came to and, with millions tuning into witness all the twists and turn of feature length series 12 finale, The Darkest Evening. There was a very worrying moment when Brenda Blethyn's famous alias fell to the ground as a gun shot was heard; but,, thankfully after the nation held its breath during the ad break, it was revealed that Vera was safe and well and is now back in action for series 13.
Filming for the next run of Vera, which has been pulling in large audiences for 12 years now, kicked off last month in Hexham, the Brenda and her co-stars also spotted on set in the likes of Wylam and North Shields Fish Quay over the last few weeks. And, at the start of a new week, the Vera team moved onto a very well known landmark in Gateshead - famous shopping mall, the Metrocentre.
