Love Vera and the whole plot, narrative etc . I've one gripe, not just Vera. Broadchurch, Silent Witness.. it's the extras, the non speaking players who look on gormlessly without a thing to say. So unrealistic. The worst is the "solicitor/lawyer" who sits mute, taking notes or looking a bit angry but says nothing at all. Vera's producers are one of the biggest employers for these type of extras and whilst it's great they are employing people at a few quid a day ( and I understand if they get a line they get more money) . It just irritates, whilst not necessarily integral to the plot, sometimes an odd "my client does not need to answer that" would be welcomed. Other than that, faultless drama!
