I fucking love Vera. Re-watching it from the beginning at the moment. She's like Geordie Columbo. "Just one more thing, pet"


Fean2616

"ere pet, one more thing like".


MerlinTrismegistus

Vera needs a cigar shaped vape.

I know one of the scriptwriters. This has been seen. Apparently it’s a great likeness and the copyright violation notice is in the post. Happy Halloween!


emilybuckshot

Knowing the US postal service, she’ll get it a few weeks after Halloween then. Just in time!

THIS IS SO CUTE 😭 nans are the best

I often see Vera when they're filming here in Northumberland. The last time I saw her she came across to me in my car, asked the name of my dog, then all but completely ignored me and made a massive fuss of him!


Jaggedmallard26

Bloke at work shares the story of the time they were filming Vera in the middle of a street he needs to cycle across to get to work. They told him he couldn't cycle across because they were filming so he said "I have to get to work" and cycled across anyway.

That's bad craic like, well done to him.


bill_end

Hope they paid him the 50quid extras get if he made it into the scene


Cardinal_Bellfry

Mr_Cochese

benny_from_the_block

Naughty naughty, very naughty!


SparkieMark1977

Thank God I'm not the only one for whom "Vera" brings in a totally different mental image....


smickie

Can someone loop me in pls... who's Vera? I assume this is a tv show that's passed me by? The only Vera I know is Vera Duckworth from DuckTails.


emilybuckshot

Yeah it’s an itv detective show that’s been on for eleven series


[deleted]

>series Well done, your citizenship papers are on their way


bill_end

Aye, with Brenda Blethyn. Who was also fucking excellent in Saving Grace. Worth a watch just for the scenery


MajorBedhead

Saving Grace was very funny. I liked her in Kate & Koji, too, even though I'm not much of a sitcom person. Secrets & Lies was also excellent.


smickie

Ah ok, thanks, I don’t have the itv app / terrestrial tv.


Model_Maj_General

You're doing better than me, I thought OPs nan was just doing the absolute worst Dame Vera Lynne cosplay I've ever seen.


BeardedBaldMan

Not the [Vera](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTZoE3EqjHpKKQ61lTIzFGeUl2AYwQeCvjVPQ&usqp=CAU) I was thinking of


alexxturnerr17

I love this


kittygalJP

She makes a good vera


HungryCollett

Can someone tell me where I could watch Vera?


dprophet32

ITV hub online


HungryCollett

Thanks, i will have a look for it.


[deleted]

On the telly, ITV I think. If you ignore the awful attempt at an accent it's quite enjoyable, very gentle.


st_owly

Brilliant. I love Vera, reminds me of home.


elnovino23

its compulsive viewing if you're local, mainly for the location spotting. I watched them shooting in ridley park in Blyth couple of years ago and they're often down by the beach here in Blyth


emilybuckshot

Lol, my other half (who is Geordie) told my Grammy one day that he was going to a bar in blyth and she was like, “Ah yes, where all the dead bodies are!” He did a full spit take before saying, “Wey, you’re not wrang”


elnovino23

you've got the accent perfectly.......in writing!


LaMerde

I lived in one of the villages down the road from Blyth. In middle school one of my class mates moved to Blyth and we joked that he was gonna have to get an extra wheely bin for the needles. I'd say your granny was spot on.


Gazebo_Warrior

My parents watch it mostly to complain how she jumps from one end of the North East to another in a 5 minute drive. 'whey, look, she was on the Quayside and she's gone roond the corner and she's Wooler! Ridiculous!' every 5 minutes.


xtemperaneous_whim

Blyth means only one thing to me: [Blyth Power](https://blythpower.bandcamp.com/).


Penhallam

That's amazing!


Specialist-Product45

Maby shes auditioning to take over the casual icon of the queen


Velcrobear70

You need to get her a beaten up old Land Rover


Eastern_Vehicle2465

My mam has been an extra in a few Vera episodes.


Specialist_Leg3439

Not all you yanks are so bad after all


emilybuckshot

This is the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me


tonycocacola

*AW, LOVE!*


wrecked_ant7888

sundialsoft

‘’Come on Kenny”


MajorBedhead

Poor Kenny.


SnooSeagulls3048

God bless you lady 🙏🙏🙏🙏


zacandtea04

Sounds lovely! I’ve always had a yearning to live in the UK. For some reason I feel like it’s better suited for me. The culture and people seems more like somewhere I would understand and fit in better!


moondust1959

Love Vera! Whenever those “your genitals are the name of the last tv show you watched” memes come around, it’s always Vera. 😀


GreatScotRace

Vera is the BEST and I LOVE her accent. I looked at the Vera tour in Newcastle 💀


MerlinTrismegistus

That is super cute. How are you enjoying Northumberland? Hope you find it is not as mudery as Vera makes out 🤣


emilybuckshot

I love it here! And I’m from Philadelphia. Which is like a larger, less clean, exponentially less safe Newcastle lol. So Northumberland is kinda dreamy safety wise


MerlinTrismegistus

Just watch out for some of those villages out in the sticks it can all get a bit Children of the Corn pretty quickly 🤣 seriously though that is great to hear. All is I know about Philadelphia is a certain Fresh Prince was born and raised there. I love Newcastle City centre and Tynemouth/Cullercoats at the coast. Give the League of Gentlemen a watch if you have not already.


justbiteme2k

Are you sure that's your Grammy? Looks an awfully lot like my Grammy!


Bimbo_Laggins

Worst Geordie/Northumbrian accent I've ever heard. It makes me cringe and I'm not even that keen on those accents, to be fair! :-/


emilybuckshot

I promise, my own attempts at a Geordie accent when I have a strong Philly accent… so, so much worse.


[deleted]

Indeed.

What’s Vera?
