@@alisadotson8403 Wow, I've never heard anything but good about her personally. I met her at Malice Domestic, a cozy mystery convention that honored her as Special Guest, and she was twinkly, charming, curious, and completely engaged for three days. My friend even joined her and Ann Cleeves in Brenda's room one night and they giggled over beers and photos of their dogs. She is a huge inspiration to those of us of a certain age too. Still at the top of her game. Nice to meet you, Alisa!
Vera isn't a Rottweiler. She is a complete marshmallow. She CARES about the people she works with, even if she does bark at them to get going on a problem. Vera's gift for getting the killers is that she understands that there are real overpowering emotions involved. Vera has a LOT of emotional baggage herself. I genuinely love this series. It's smart, full of human entanglement, and I like the characters.
I love anything Brenda Blethyn does. She is a one of my all time favorite actresses...there aren't many in my opinion but she is and always will be on my list.
LOVE VERA! Great drama series that I love to watch. Brilliant actress.. she has her own way of showing and caring for people....Binge watched some episodes...cannot wait to watch some more of her!
I adore her, Vera is my most favorite show ever. Can't wait for Season 11. All the actors are great. We do not have quality TV like that here in the US of A 😞 (too much silicone and Botox)
The Brits may be botoxed but the US shows are more about how hot is she in her tight jeans and heels and how buff is he with not a hair out of place and who can swing their hips the sexiest with their big gun on their hip? The Brits are about brains and technique and logic, the quality is way better.
'Vera' is the only drama series that engages me and I can't stop watching. Good believable plots with interesting characters and dark humour in the British style. Sadly programmes like this are few and far between.
@@garfreed What I love about Vera is she makes mistakes and brushes them off with 'Oh well, never mind, lets move on' and that she's just as flawed as me. Unfortunately I'm not brilliant just ordinary lol.
When I watch Vera, it’s like being with family. The characters all play well off each other. And the storyline is well done. I can’t wait to see the new season.
We just watched one of the older seasons & she was literally sprinting. I told hubby 'wish I could still do that' but life does have a way of catching up with us. ;)
Alberta Canada. British TV series, Movies for the most part are Far better than North American. Vera is one of my favourites and watch again and again!
C P Me too. It’s extremely rare for me to re-watch anything, but Vera is definitely the exception. It was reading the books that brought my attention to the television series.
Oh you and me both girlfriend 🤗🤗 I just love her . She is so delightful, funny and an absolute pleasure to watch💖 I love her to bits! I watch all her series over and over and over much to the horror of my husband and daughter!
Love this show! It Is a weekly show we look forward to watching on PBS. So well done. Brenda Blethyn is a superb actress. Just watched her in Pride and Prejudice, and she was amazing In that too.
Found another wonderful series. It's Australian. City Homicide. 5 seasons. Real people, great storylines, brilliant acting. Binge watched. No useless violence, nor swearing. Loved loved it.
Love you Brenda as Vera !!!! Your cast is all beautiful ... Please I pray that they continue making more series I’ve seen everyone since your series 1 ...👍♥️👍♥️👍 my first movie I saw you play was Pride and Prejudice loved you and all the rest of that cast !! You are all great !!! God bless !! ♥️♥️♥️
Hello from Sweden! I've just seen the newest episodes and have to say this season feels like it's the best of them all. What I like particularly about Vera is how she seems to see the tragic sides of people's destinies. The scenes when she's alone, just sitting and contemplating, are very fine.
Absolutely love Vera! Casting is superb and the writing is great. Just finished watching Season 10 ... I'm so sad it's over. I think it's time to start back and start rewatching from season 1. Got hooked on Brit mysteries, comedies and panel shows years ago. I lived in the UK for 5 years, and appreciated the viewing even mote when I got back to Canada and saw the offerings here ...
Brenda Blethyn is such a great actress - I've admired her for decades. The detective-murder-mystery series "Vera" is one of the best on TV. I'm even re-watching old shows on UA-cam now that I've previously seen on TV. Being a tad old myself, her natural physical aging is so refreshing - a true natural beauty - so pretty. Quite awhile ago, I wrote to the address given on the internet for an autographed photo from her (to my first name, of course), but I've never received a reply. I did offer to pay for it. I presume she never sees most of her fan mail, since it's probably going through an agent somewhere in a different city. I still love her, though! I'm still laughing at the Kenny story - can't get the image out of my mind.
Wonderful interview. Wonderful series. And I have to say the sets and scenery are amazing . Great to get a sense of her humor and personality. Because Vera has definitely got that sharp edge. Thanks for this.
Benda has an infectious laugh I’ve noticed a few times watching Vera that she has nearly laughed inappropriately during a serious scene Ann Cleeves and Brenda Blethyn ,a terrific partnership Please keep it coming
Just love the brilliant character & the wonderful Lady that plays her . An incredibly talented actress , in the best programme on Tele . Love watching Vera .
(Suzie) We were searching around for a good series to watch and we are hooked on 'Vera'. We are watching one chapter every night, so as not to be done too fast..we love it and you..thanks for being part of our family!!
Such a lovely, good humored, intelligent woman! Vera is my all time favorite program and Ms. Blethyn is my top favorite actor. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts with everyone and for providing such a wonderful, exciting, action-packed show. I appreciate you! BRAVA! I hope your show goes on forever😊❤
I enjoy the twists and turns of 'Vera' and I so love the humanity and tenderness she portrays in her character. Brenda is just marvellous; love her too 😀
What a delight Brenda Blethyn is. A darling lady. I loved hearing her laugh. So uplifting to us 'older' gals (I'm 80) to be reminded that you don't have to be a size 6 and young in order to be utterly captivating, charming, jolly, fun and very dear!!!!! Thank you and best wishes from California.
Vera! You are a person we all need to emulate: how the world needs you and enjoys your empathy for each person you meet. Thank you for bringing light, laughter, and lessons for us all. At times it must be hard work, but you always take the optimistic high road. Thank You! Rodney Vancouver Island Canada
I have been binging on your T.V. series Vera! I'm so impressed with your acting and the supporting cast! This Britsh series has wonderful stories and often brings me tears, sometimes laughter!
I first found Vera on PBS and then I got Prime for Amazon ordered Britbox and Acorn and watched all 10 seasons. I absolutely love her so glad she's coming back in Jan 2021 I screamed and jumped up and down can't wait. Vera save me during the on going pandemic I live in the U.S. Buffalo N Y. See you soon Vera
love Vera all of the shows are top notch. the whole crew , support staff, writers. and amazing actors should be very proud of their craft. they are superb. I've been binge watching for 3 days for 12 hour stretches cannot believe I just actually told you that but it's TRUE I used to watch Vera on my telly but lost the programming and have now got it back so catching up from day one again. I am addicted
Brenda laughs, everyone laughs! Love this woman!!
I love Vera! It is so nice to see Brenda laughing, she looks like a bundle of fun.
I LOVE Brenda Blethyn and love Vera too! She is pure delight.
I find her very reassuring. I dont get the people who think she is mean. She is, as you said, pure delight.

I'm thinking that's why they always show her softer 'marshmallow' side in the very last scene.
She is a brilliant actress, a great talent and a delightful lady, I enjoy everything she does.
Couldn’t agree more!

oh dear, do you think British television performers aren't siliconed and Botox'd? Oh dear.

I’m saving this just to lift my mood with her laugh, when I need it.

Oh! I REALLY want to watch more Vera episodes!!!
I am so glad she said she gets along with Kenny. I always feel sorry for him when she gives him a hard time. I'm surprised he sticks around.
Can’t understand why she gives Kenny a hard time. What’s the back story there? I feel sorry for him too.
