Having watched the first two episodes of Vera of Series 2; I'm seeing a few inconsistencies. When the main character is looking at a press clipping of her and her late Sergeant colleague in Episode 1, it clearly identifies her force as Northumberland and City Police (hence my update on the main page) yet in Episode 2, it is now 'Northumbria & City Police'. It is not inconceivable that the force could change its name, however in Episode 2; Vera's rank keeps changing! One minute she's "Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope" and the next, she's a Detective Chief Inspector! Pretty sloppy continuity, I must say! BNC85 ( talk) 18:55, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Surely the most worrying thing is that we're expecting to take a 66 year-old actress playing a serving DCI seriously?! Smurfmeister ( talk) 09:26, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Response: I call sexism on the above comment, unless the commenter leveled the same criticism against David Jason as Frost and Krister Henriksson as Wallander (just the first two male analogues that came to mind). --- Dagme ( talk) 07:24, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Response: You can 'call sexism' all you like - that doesn't make this any more realistic. You don't need to make this into a gender issue. Smurfmeister ( talk) 21:18, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
Somebody might want to mention that the "City" of "Northumbria and City Police" is Newcastle (aka Newcastle upon Tyne) and that characterizing the language spoken as "English" may be slightly misleading as the Geordie accent can be almost incomprehensible to those unfamiliar with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.110.225 ( talk) 17:12, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Response: Some extreme Geordie dialects may be difficult to understand, but the English spoken in this series definitely falls within the mainstream of standard English and is easily intelligible to most English speakers. --- Dagme ( talk) 07:24, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Moving episodes section to its own article. Reason it will free space and we will be able to expand it and make it look nicer and it will look neat on its own page instead of having it where it is. Paladox2017 ( talk) 19:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
It would be good to have a "Response" section. In my experience, this is one of the best, if not the very best, of the BBC English mystery series. --- Dagme ( talk) 07:28, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Reference to "Erin Davis' house"... who is Erin Davis? This is not explained further and not cross-referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.209.92.191 ( talk) 23:45, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
She is credited as acting in this series. What is the name of her character? 174.92.135.167 ( talk) 21:59, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
Why did David Leon leave Vera at the end of Series 4?- 71.174.188.32 ( talk) 03:46, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Why is the character of Helen Milton not on the "Cast and Characters"-list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakobsdatter ( talk • contribs) 12:22, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

In Season1 Episode 2, "Telling Tales", why was the you-know-what (trying not to make spoilers) put into the piano? Presumably the person who put it there had originally procured it to prevent its discovery and protect the owner's identity, so why not just destroy it? Doesn't seem to make any sense!

The announcement was made by star Brenda Blethyn at the Winter TCA Press Tour. “We’re going to start working this year and you’ll see it next year,” said Blethyn. Exec producer Phil Hunter added, “Yes, there’ll be more Vera beyond series 10, which is fantastic news.” Geofpick ( talk) 15:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC) Blethyn says filming of series 11 starts in April 2020 - update article when it happens.

Personally i do not agree with the viewing figures that have been given. They are based on overnight figures which are not accurate and up to date. Twenty eight day figures were always given until a couple of years ago as they are more up to date and are a more precise figure. These recent figures are not reliable or up to date. So i will look at the 28 day viewing figures as they are more accurate. Percy2345 ( talk) 04:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
We often see a long shot of Vera's Landrover heading out over the causeway to the Holy Island, usually followed by her being at home. However she never seems to be held up by the tides, either getting home or turning out to an incident. Where is the farmhouse meant to be sited? Does Vera have a King Canute ability to command the North Sea? Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 15:57, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Well I've edited in the location, but there's still the magical ability to get on and off the island without regard to the tides. :-o See Lindisfarne#Causeway_safety. Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 11:34, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Viewing figures should be UK. At present it is incorrect for 15th Jan 2022. Unreliable. Percy2345 ( talk) 22:17, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
The current figures that are on there do not take into consideration that these episodes have been delayed for various reasons. Also lots of viewers watch on ITV Hub. Percy2345 ( talk) 21:40, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Also i know is ITV'S fault but they do not promote/ advertise Vera enough. Many viewers have busy lives so forget easily, due to poor advertising to. Much of the blame is with ITV. I am happy with leaving current viewing figures. However i would perhaps suggest updating and putting est* and just put a note to say viewing figures are estimated due to many delays in Filming etc. We could perhaps do that? Just a suggestion. Let me know what you think please. Thanks. Percy2345 ( talk) 01:15, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
