one of the best episodes of the series
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.

Almost need translation
I love British mystery shows including this one. I only saw two episodes this far including this one. First one aired on PBS had the wrong title episode and this one had none, so I had to find it on the Internet.I understand and write English quite well and can go through a book on quantum mechanics without getting lost, but this British accent is often hard on my ears. With a title I can go on the Web and read the synopsis. Without one I'm nearly lost in the action. I could almost use subtitles to follow the story. That said, I like Vera and her team. Very engaging and enjoyable. Maybe if I watch enough of the shows, which I intend to, I will eventually get to understand this other English dialect.I also had this problem with Morse in the days but not as bad as now. A thought just occurred to me: maybe there is a book of translation on English to English somewhere. Will check on it.
