I had the pleasure of meeting Ann Cleeves at the University of Sunderland. She’s had such an interesting life, first in Sheltland and then Northumberland.
So grateful Ann fell in love with the Vera character. Life is so much richer with Vera in in. Thank you Ann and Brenda (for the TV portrayal). Wendy.
As an American, discovering the series Vera was a breath of fresh air. I love everything about it and always get excited for the next season. 💟
So glad you love Vera across the Pond too! 😊
@@Panmacmillan at also deep down in the antipodes as well! P.S. send us a little of your weather and we will swap ir for some of ours. We haven't ever seen snow, and you've probably not had 46°C summer.Thanks again for a great series. Cheers!
As Aussies(well, my wife's originally a Brom), we both love 'Vera', and it's the highlight of our weekend viewing when it's on. Also enjoy 'Shetland' too. The Brits just seem to do excellent tv crime dramas. So much better than Aussie and American tv.
My thoughts exactly so real so authentic,you think your there and it's actually happening.
So glad Ann that you don’t do guns. It’s an easy way to end a story. I love British crime stories/TV series, and always give them a go, while usually ignoring American ones. A bit unfair perhaps, but my brain automatically says ‘same old same old.’ Vera has been permanently on the ABC here in Australia since…forever! So sad it’s coming to an end, but congratulations on a great series.
We love you Brenda. Vera is the best show on TV. Thanks to you and Ann for this wonderful series and books.
Vera series is an absolute beautiful change frm d usual american ways of detectives filled wth half naked women, lusts and murders. Vera has one to follow along and solve d crime together. CONGRATULATIONS to you Ann, Brenda and d rest of d crew
the world is honored to have you as a writer, thank you!
The Vera books are so good, Ann Cleese is a great writer. The TV series is amazing. Brenda Blethyn is excellent.
Vera is the best on Danish TV, and luckily I can still watch her there. Thank You Ann Cleves and Brenda Blethyn.
Looove Ann/Brenda/Vera❣️
Vera is my favorite detective show
I absolutely love the Vera series
I just discovered them on TH-cam and have watched them all. Much superior to USA crime drama!!!
A delight to see and hear Ann Cleeves. Have enjoyed her writing and reread them over time. Some images stay in your head. She describes that country so well and makes you want to travel over to Britain in winter. Thank you. And thank you for our TV Vera, a good lass.
Ann, I picked up your first book when it had just been released and was immediately hooked and have read all of them. They are wonderful.
Brenda Blethyn IS Vera.
Thank you both, Ann and Brenda, for Vera. 🕵🏻♀️
I absolutely adore Ann Cleeves writing! The Vera Stanhope series is so engaging to me. I love Brenda Blethyn as Vera, the stories and scenery. I get so excited when a new series begins and disappointed and sad when I am done and know I have to wait for another year to watch again. I’m in USA and I love detective mystery series from UK. I enjoy reading and viewing stories from another prospective different than my own. I hope Ann continues to write Vera, that Brenda continues to be in the role of Vera and that they are filmed for tv.
Vera is my favorite of all the British crime dramas and there's plenty !
Ann Cleeves is an excellent writer!!! 💛💙❤
Brenda's reading of "The Darkest Evening" gave me goose bumps. Love Ann and Brenda!
Yes, it was great. I could hear a little of Veras voice creeping in
Love the character Vera, and the tv series. Some episodes are breathtaking.
LOVE the show and the character.
Brilliant books Ann. Read them before Vera hit the screens.What a great character Vera is.
The Darkest Evening is the best and most personal look at Vera by far. I do hope there are plans to adapt it for television.
Just finished this book. Wished I had heard Brenda read the whole book! My Winter Delight is reading these books late into the night. Like Vera I survive………
Awesome author! Vera series amazing! Brenda is an amazing actor. I Love the series. Being American I’m so excited by mystery’s.
Your books are great and Brenda does your Vera character proud. Please keep going. Just read "The long call" and the introduction of a new detective Matthew Venn. Looking forward to more of him. But I love Vera!
We love Vera in America!
So glad Vera is loved across the pond too!
Thank you all, love the series
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Love, love, love Vera! Thank you from Houston, Tx, USA! AND Love Brenda!
Vera is awesome!! ❤️
Love everything about Vera/ Brenda
Thanks for the insights... great plots.. and BRENDA is just awesome ... after second time watching the series, some of the one liners from the all of the team are just classics...
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ann I haven't read you books of Vera but I have watched & enjoyed the tv series & thoroughly enjoy them. Thankyou to you Ann & all the actors.
I love watching Vera i happend to turn tv on and Vera was on after that i was hooked x
Vera is the BEST. Thanks to thé actress and author too ! Hello from France !
Brilliant series! Thank you - its one of my favourite shows of all time. Only a Brit can create a truly awesome criminal detective without a lot of shooting and gunfire to support the thin dialog, and get it really right and human.
So nice. I'm a fan of Vera series on itv. I've watched it all.❤
Thank you so much for your books and creating Vera.
Loved Loved this book! Will always keep a book or two of yours around. When finished I give to local libraries.
I love the series and it led me to read the books that I love even more.
Brenda, “reading” , sounded like “Vera”. I have enjoyed “Vera”, a lady, my age. There are so many turns, I have only figured out the one “who did it once”. British mystery is so much more involved “thinking”.
I love Vera, just fantastic!
I love your books and the Vera and Shetland series. PLEASE are you going to televise the Glass Room? I’m reading for third time
Thank you Ann!
Just love Vera
Two detectives television series these isles have produced. My other favourites have included French, Swedish/Danish and Dutch/Flemish ones.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if Brenda read an entire Vera novel?!!
Thank you form
What's happening to Happy Valley ending waiting for more than 2 ,, years.love Vera to.
❤️❤️❤️ Vera
Thankyou.🇦🇺
