Brenda Blethyn (below) returns as no-nonsense, down-to-earth DCI Vera Stanhope in the 11th series of the crime drama inspired by Ann Cleeves' bestselling novels. She and sidekick DS Aiden Healy's first case involves the murder of builder Jim Tullman. It initially appears that he had no enemies and that everyone loved him – but tensions among his family and friends soon suggest that all is not as it seems. ★★★★★
