By chance, ITV3 in the UK began Vera from the start on 04JAN2021, showing the first episode of Vera just after the first-ever episode of "Wycliffe" so that we could compare 2010 coppering to 1994 coppering.
First episode; Vera is a bit cranky until we work out that her father has died (she will take over his ancient LandRover tomorrow night in S01Ep02!) and the distinctive Vera-mobile will emerge.
This show clearly had potential from the start - which has been expanded and exploited over the intervening near-decade. Watch the scenery, enjoy her witty one-liners and marvel at the characterisations. A good ensemble cast is assembled (which has changed and evolved over the years).
Well worth two hours of your time on a cold winter's evening.
