Abstract: Today Vera ITV1, 8pm Following on from an atmospheric Christmas special, DCI Vera Stanhope (Brenda Blethyn) begins the New Year with another run of Northumberlandbased murder mysteries, with a popular former cast member returning to Tyneside and making his presence felt quite forcefully. In the opening episode, Fast Love, Stanhope and the team are called to a quiet country lane where a young man has been found dead following what looks like a hit-and-run. With initial ndings suggesting that the victim was a local market trader, the team head down to his pitch to start piecing together a prole. But as the investigation gathers more evidence, it quickly emerges that the victim was a far more complex character than they imagined, with plenty of suspects to pick out from a long list of people who wouldn't have minded seeing him hurt, or indeed dead. Adding to her woes, Stanhope - already a couple of team members down - is more than taken aback when her old sidekick Joe (David Leon, who starred in the rst four series) turns up at her incident room after almost a decade away.
