    No one in my mind could play the Role of Vera like Brenda, she has made the role hers and it’s just wonderful, sad, funny, good policing what more could you want. Like others we have watched the original the repeats more than once and still love and enjoy it. Congratulations to all the actors directors producers cameramen/women and of course writers it really has been a favourite in our home.

    Ann Cleeves deserves all the praise for developing Vera, a most unusual female police detective, clever and captivating. Brenda Blethyn is Perfect as Vera. I have been reading the books since the first one appeared in American bookstores and I watch all the videos, many times. Why. Because nothing compares. And every one of the cast are terrific. I am the same age as Brenda, 78. I want to thank Brenda for all the wonderful episodes. I wish they could continue, please continue. I have not read the newest book, but it sits on my desk, waiting for a snowy day in January. What is better on a snowy or rainy day but a great book, an iconic detective, and a cuppa tea. Brenda, I thank you!! One more thing: One of my favorite episodes was when Vera’ s heart was exposed as she gave the old greyhound dog to the young boy.

Everyone I know is in love with this series, and with Brenda, Kenny, Joe, etc. There is never a bad performance from anyone…whether they’re regulars, or only appear a couple times, etc. Even her trusty vehicle is a character in the show (albeit non-human) and I’m sure everyone loves seeing her drive it all over the region. I hope she doesn’t get rid of it for a newer version!!!

    Love Brenda Blethyn, a great actress....love the character of Vera, the tough but caring, the slooth who never expects her workers to do what she wouldnt but demands loyalty as she gives them.... a well written character, well played by the actor....that is why a series runs so long.
    I love the clothes, its more realistic, a person so fixated on her job, is not the type to have long nails and perfect make-up, like all the rediculous American shows...wearing high heels if you might have to fight a bad guy. ... a joke.
    I could watch reruns forever, and do!

I loved the day in the prog when she bought another coat in a charity shop. When her sidekick said it was identical to the last one, she was very happy with her choice. She is cranky, and that's funny...also love that she drives a jeep and won't let Joe drive it. Aw, I will really really miss it..the cast and Vera. I also loved that each episode was long. Loved Frost .. Morse.. Lewis too..similuar shows. Thanks for the great acting..greetings from Ireland.

    Thank you so much for blessing us with 14 years of your strength, hard work in the cold weather and brilliant mind. Florida loves you Ms. Blethyn, it’s a great place to put your toes in some beautiful white sugar, sand, and stroll. The beaches at sunset so much to do here and you could even do some sit down/stand up question and answer chats and places like the historic Tampa theater or just do nothing like the rest of us we love you please come many famous people enjoy their anonymity here. Please know we love you and you are greatly appreciated. 14 years is a long time to be dedicated, Pet.

    I love this woman. She is so authentic. She seems to have really be taking herself more seriously which is lovely. So grateful for all she has been in. I own a DVD of Pride and Prejudiced that she is in. The Ann Cleeves/ Brenda Blethyn combination certainly hit a gold mine of integrity. It filled a gaping hole in entertainment and the world where there is so much shallow tat being fed to us. What a woman the character of Vera is. What and actor Brenda is and what an author Ann is. Such a professional production team and supporting actors. So grateful it was made.
