Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode takes place in Whitley Bay, where Vera novelist Ann Cleeves resides.
- GoofsPatrick Crowe's death certificate shows that he was fifteen years old at his death in 1977, and that he'd been in employment as a labourer. The School Leaving Age was raised to sixteen in 1972 so, by law, Patrick would have been still at school. ** This isn't correct. First of all. They have to change dates when using a name as it may be the same as someone in a similar situation. Also, just because that's what the age is doesn't mean everyone adheres to it. It happens all the time.
- Quotes

DCI Vera Stanhope: Get onto it, Kenny.

Featured review
A drag act in Darlington?
Vera is on the case when a man is discovered dead on a beach at Whitley Bay.
This is a particularly good episode, on the odd occasion the plots can be a little tricky to follow, but this one is very straightforward, it really is a tale of family love, and family lies.
It develops very well, it's a very good story, it ties up nicely at the end.
The performances are very good, I particularly enjoyed John Woodvine and Teresa Banham, both are excellent.
It's interesting that even after all these years, Vera doesn't have any violence, no bad language, it clearly can be done.
Very good, 8/10.
