Drama lovers are in for a treat with the return of crime series Vera.
She's been a regular visitor to Wearside during filming, as this series of great retro photos show.
The TV cameras have filmed at Sunderland University, the Civic Centre car park, Chester-le-Street and the City Tea Rooms.
And we've seen Brenda at the Washington Riding Centre where she is the patron of a charity.
