Vera

ITV, 8pm, today

It’s January, Christmas already seems like a distant memory and the nights are still cold and gloomy.

That all adds up to one thing – ITV is bringing back Vera! Brenda Blethyn returns and the first of her four cases, entitled Blind Spot, sees her investigate the murder of a trainee forensic psychologist, whose body was found on a landfill site. Could the death be linked to a crime committed by a former prisoner? Peter Davison and Adrian Lukis guest star.
