It's just awesome to watch a detective who is an older woman with intelligence wit and strength instead of the usual 30 year olds who are all "beautiful" to American audiences. I adore Vera and I adore the actress and applaude the producers for engaging older female actors in these kind of serious shows. Keep up the great work. As a Canadian, I love all things British!! Brenda, love you and love your beauty and talent 😗
So true Larissa Sanchez. And we love our Canadian families and your show that was about the officer on the horse. Was it Due North or something? Been a long time sorry. He was hilarious. Hahahha. But Vera is our much loved female copper. ❤️
Brenda absolutely ROCKS in Vera, can't get enough of her on Hulu....keep the episodes coming! Fantastic character actress........Scripts are innovative and clever, Brett Bartlett is a genius composer!
What a lovely woman. I have enjoyed so many hours with Vera, so comforting in a way I am a fan of so many British film work..enjoy the pace and reassurance.
Only Brenda B could have played Vera. Smashing programme. Hope it goes on for a long time. Grew up in Vera-land. Super nostalgia. Love Brenda, Love Vera. ❤️✌️
One of my favorite pandemic-tv-binge discoveries this year. I love the show, but absolutely adore the character. Thank you, Vera. You made quarantine quite lovely.
She is such an outstanding actress, so brilliant and so amazing. Her character Vera is the most amazing show I know about and it is such a class of acting. She is so sweet and lovely, and she should have an Emmy for this to put next to her Oscar! Love her, always.
I was pleased to see what a pretty woman she can be too, with a little makeup and her hair simply styled. Still so relatable also. Just love her and Vera! I was having difficulty finding new interesting shows and movies during this lockdown and being virtually bedridden. Vera has been a blessing, breath of fresh air! Hooray for British filmmaking, that's 90%+ of my viewing now! 👏👍👍😄🎥
what a lovely woman. I am now addicted to watching all of the shows. one of the things I like is that there are at least 8 suspects at the beginning of the show then the guilty party is usually not the one suspected during the show. great writing and acting, love it.
I absolutely love DI Vera Stanhope! She is so amazing and it is so refreshing to watch a crime drama that is not full of so many distracting characters and you can actually enjoy the solving of the crime and all the characters involved.
Vera is a wonderful show and we watch it every week it's on telly here in Norway. I cant wait for the next seasons, we're still on season 3. I love the actress, she's kind, down to earth and likeable.
Amazing actress. Have always loved her and her quirky, amazingly human and flawed roles. She loves independent film and it has always shown. Her Vera is also an amazing character.
I'm in Australia and my wife and I love to watch Vera it is probably our favourate show. We're up to series 7 here and I hope Brenda keeps going in this role, it's wonderful.
Please keep Vera going! I live in Florida USA and watch Vera on Hulu. I am addicted to this show and truly hope it will continue!!! I just love Vera!!!
Would love to be able to see. Vera on a regular screen, am limited to what they have in our library!!, Fabulous everything, acting, dialogue, scenery story lines , really excellent. Love it.
Wow!! What an intriguing well written, well acted show! Bravo!! Loved this series from the beginning and fell in love with the warm-hearted intelligence of Vera.
Love love Vera always look forward to keeping up with the series we're on season 11 episode 6 need to see more. Brenda you're just awesome. Please go as long as you can. Just love the series you are so believable as VERA.
Love the character of Vera and Brenda Blethyn plays her so well. And she might look like a bag lady, but she has beautiful peaches and cream skin and lovely hair (thanks to Ms Blethyn). And she does the accent so well.
Yes, there are so many intimations that she's not attractive. I find her quite attractive, actually. I love her face. And her "boring" hair I like too.
Everything she said was accurate and to add my two cents the photography is really superb with little glimpses of the country that obviously are given to us as a treat so lovingly provided. Many thanks to all involved, its a holiday and a treat to visit one of my favorite places on earth and be so entertained.
+Steven Boyd Lovely comment. It's strange....I'm from the US, have never been to the UK, but this show and a few of the other recent great (also regionally filmed) detective dramas, leave me with an affinity for different areas just from watching the filming of the landscape and how the land becomes part of the stories. I appreciate it so much. So much care has gone into it.
+AlfaAxel Yeah, it's amazing how she makes it clear that she's really quite a compassionate person underneath it all. Such a subtle portrayal. Can't get enough of her.
I discovered Vera during 2020 and I just so enjoy watching the show. I don't always understand the talking because of the accent but that doesn't stop me. Thank you for such a wonderful show.
I just started watching this and she is the reason I am on 2 episode 4 now. Brings life to Vera and enjoy how she speaks. So, a wonderful job Brenda and I will look for your other work as well.
Wow, very strange to see "Vera" laughing and being light-hearted. I love this actress, so glad to stumble across this interview. I was looking for some shows but sadly most are blocked. Hopefully BrittBox will have more of the series available soon.
I think she is great can't get enough of the programs, only found out today she came from Ramsgate Kent where I lived in 1948 and went to school there, lived in Queen St just up the road from where she lived, I hope the program goes on for a long time as I really enjoy it. I watch it all the time and I now live in NSW Australia.
Brenda is very lovely down to earth. You can see how well she works with others and the caring she has for other people. I would love to have her as a big sister. Keep up the great work.
omg I love Vera. hearing her here is like omg I only know her as vera. lol. I've seen Brenda in other movies shes a awesome actress. she deserves a Emmy award. ♥♥♥
I only knew Brenda from her acting. What a treat to see her as a real person. She strikes me as someone I'd like to sit down with and just have a conversation with.
We were sooo lucky last week, they are filming the 2nd series of Vera, and were just up the road to where we live, so when out walking the dog, saw the filming and saw Brenda Blethyn acting out a scene, we asked the Security, if it would be possible to return for her autograph, he told us when to come back, and had mentioned us to her... so when we returned, she came straight over, she chatted to us, posed for pics and allowed us to stand by her on set, how lucky were we... I love Brenda B xxx
Some faces you just can't stop looking at...beautiful lady...FABULOUS actress. Thanks for your talent, it is continually satisfying.
One of the finest actors I have seen on my tv screen.
+Steven Doyle I feel the same. She's remarkable.
What a great actress, she should be given an award, because she is up there with the great's, a British Treasue.
Lovely to see Brenda as herself. She is very pretty w/a great sense of humor. I've been a fan of hers for years. She's like an old friend to me,,
Brenda is one of the best actresses of our time
Brenda, awsome and incredibly good actress and lovely character, DCI Vera Stanhope. I love her ironic smile when she catches the murderer.
Love Vera , Love Brenda . My fave Lady on the Tele . Compulsive viewing the series is . God Bless You Brenda .
It's just awesome to watch a detective who is an older woman with intelligence wit and strength instead of the usual 30 year olds who are all "beautiful" to American audiences. I adore Vera and I adore the actress and applaude the producers for engaging older female actors in these kind of serious shows. Keep up the great work. As a Canadian, I love all things British!! Brenda, love you and love your beauty and talent 😗
And who wears sensible shoes!
In the original books Vera B in her late 60's. Recomend reading the books too. P.
So true Larissa Sanchez. And we love our Canadian families and your show that was about the officer on the horse. Was it Due North or something? Been a long time sorry. He was hilarious. Hahahha. But Vera is our much loved female copper. ❤️
@@pippapippa7365 she's wonderful isn't she. I think in the books I think she's in her 50's. Well, in the early ones.

VERA ROCKS !!!!
+Dovie, Haha, she does. Or, if you meant the show rocks, that too!
Vera's a mightily praiseworthy show. My private query as to the incredible variety of landscapes of that region there got confirmed here.
Everything she said was accurate and to add my two cents the photography is really superb with little glimpses of the country that obviously are given to us as a treat so lovingly provided. Many thanks to all involved, its a holiday and a treat to visit one of my favorite places on earth and be so entertained.

Brenda Blethyn's rendering of Vera has given me so much human insight. Yes, she is a bit odd, but BB manage to show her heart! :)
+AlfaAxel Yeah, it's amazing how she makes it clear that she's really quite a compassionate person underneath it all. Such a subtle portrayal. Can't get enough of her.
I discovered Vera during 2020 and I just so enjoy watching the show. I don't always understand the talking because of the accent but that doesn't stop me. Thank you for such a wonderful show.
i think she's wonderful and i am very much enjoying the show. thank you!
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!1
From a mad keen 77yo Aussie fan
One of the most brilliant actors of any period.

Great character, Vera!
I like her a lot.
I love the show Vera, we found it after subscribing to Britbox here in the States. She's so down to earth and Brenda Blethyn is a wonderful actress.
love VERA great series. beautiful mountains and views. tfs
Well, I simply love Vera.
I think she is great can't get enough of the programs, only found out today she came from Ramsgate Kent where I lived in 1948 and went to school there, lived in Queen St just up the road from where she lived, I hope the program goes on for a long time as I really enjoy it.

Wonderful actor and one of the best ever and being an expat, thank heavens for Britbox!
As one who also 'larned' Geordie, I am impressed by the very authentic accent on the show.
She was Fantastic on Outside Edge!!!
Outside Edge is one of my favorites with her as an actress.
Love her as DI Vera Stanhope....just finished season 8.
Love ur shows great actress im enjoying thanks 💕
omg I love Vera. hearing her here is like omg I only know her as vera. lol. I've seen Brenda in other movies shes a awesome actress. she deserves a Emmy award. ♥♥♥
Pamela Cook A BAFTA too!
I only knew Brenda from her acting. What a treat to see her as a real person. She strikes me as someone I'd like to sit down with and just have a conversation with.
She is beautiful. She's so funny and a very good actress
What a woman,and still so pretty.
This wonderful actor gave an incredible performance in 'My Left Foot' with Daniel Day Lewis.
That was Brenda Fricker.
Karen Custer Thurston Why not actress? Hardly demeaning. At least in my mind set.
We were sooo lucky last week, they are filming the 2nd series of Vera, and were just up the road to where we live, so when out walking the dog, saw the filming and saw Brenda Blethyn acting out a scene, we asked the Security, if it would be possible to return for her autograph, he told us when to come back, and had mentioned us to her... so when we returned, she came straight over, she chatted to us, posed for pics and allowed us to stand by her on set, how lucky were we... I love Brenda B xxx
How delightful! And how lucky to have a chance to meet a real actress rather than a celebrity.
hay, I grew up in Thanet, St Nicholas at wade. went to school in Broadstairs and Ramsgate....happy memories.
