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. ❤️
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. ❤️✌️
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 👏👍👍😄🎥
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.
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.
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.
+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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
+donkey Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it. She such a naturalistic character, Vera, we completely believe she exists. It can be odd to see that the actress is such a different person. I love hearing her talk about it, though. She's wonderful.
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. ♥♥♥
One thing I like about Vera is that she is in charge and never seems to have some superior ordering her about. I like the character as a down-to-earth investigator, much better than other TV detectives like Frost or Columbo.
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.
