The local accent is very hard to understand, and the Vera series is as near English as it gets.
Northumberland is a very scenic area, but the local accent is hard for many to understand.
We use sub-titles for most shows now, as 'Kings English' has long disappeared from public broadcasting.
Another series worth watching is Luther if you can get it.
Idris Elba stars. It's brilliant.
There is a Christmas Special of Vera. My wife and I are watching it tonight.
Haven't seen Midsommer Murders mentioned. Worth a watch.
Why anyone would want to live in or near that village, I fail to understand, half the population get murdered weekly!

Bill, thanks for correcting Vera for me. I have not heard about a Christmas Special, but will hunt for it. Midsommer Murders was a favorite of ours, but we had a problem getting to like the new guy, although we saw him in a show with Diana Riggs when he was the chauffeur and we really enjoyed him. What was that called?
I will do a search for Blue Planet and the Vera Christmas Special. Thanks.
