I didn't even know there was a former Vera!

[QUOTE=ruthio;650823]I didn't even know there was a former Vera![/QUOTEThe other series, mostly written by Ann Cleeves, had Vera with a different DS and also seemed to be based more in the countryside and Vera had a drink in her hand quite often.
Very different now - been changed and seems based more in Newcastle - just can't imagine Vera Stanhope in a city at all! She's had a bit of a makeover, too.

Re: George Gently
Er ..... excuse me ladies, but I bagsed Martin Shaw years ago when he was the Doyle half of Body & Doyle from The Professionals, so hands off!
Seriously, I never watched George Gently until a couple of weeks ago when it was shown on BBC iPlayer and, because I had a pretty bad accident at home two months ago, I've been in enforced idleness, so I looked up some stuff on You Tube and found the first series of Insp George Gently, Vera, Morse, and some other programmes I never watched until now.
All are excellent, as only British Police crime drama can be and, although the uploads aren't great, at least I can while away my time until I can go back to work - but I'm hooked on them all now.

Re: George Gently
I like Gently too but my OH doesn't think that even back then the off-sider would have got away with the way he speaks to his boss and to people in general. It doesn't worry me and I still enjoy it but I tend to think he's right. Sometimes even the best actors have to do as they are told by directors.|
