Introducing this major new detective franchise Vera starring Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winner Brenda Blethyn as Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope. Middle-aged Vera is an experienced, not to mention brilliant, murder detective. Kind-hearted but a loner, she freely admits she can become obsessed with her job.
Vera: The Pilot
In this feature-length debut, Vera takes on her first murder case since the death of her father. Julie Armstrong (Gina McKee, Notting Hill
The Forsyte Saga), is distraught when she discovers the lifeless body of her teenage son, Luke. He has been strangled and then carefully placed in a bath decorated with wild flowers. Vera and Sergeant Joe Ashworth (David Leon, RocknRolla), have barely begun their investigation when another body turns up and the signs point to a serial killer. When, Luke's sister Laura provides a vital clue and then goes missing, Vera and Joe have a race against time to find the murderer and save Laura's life.
Plus 3 more cases.
