Brenda Blethyn thinks there is a ‘difference in the friendliness’ between the North and the South

OHMYGOSSIP — Brenda Blethyn thinks that there is a “difference in the friendliness” between the North and the South .
The 76-year-old actress – who is originally from Kent and is known for playing the title role on ITV drama series ‘Vera’, which is set and filmed in the North East – explained that she “loves” working in the North of England and finds a “difference” there when compared to the rest of the country.
She said: “I love it, I just love it – I love the people up there, too. There is a difference between the friendliness of the North and the South, I don’t care what anybody says.”
The BAFTA Award Winning actress has played the role of DCI Vera Stanhope for over a decade in the acclaimed series – which is based on the novels by Ann Cleeves – and thinks that the biggest “compliment” is that the show is popular in the area where it is set.
She told RadioTimes.com: “That’s the main compliment, really, that the people of the North East like Vera.”
The ‘Kate Koji’ actress then went on to reveal that the show is also making waves Down Under and that the latest series of ‘Vera’ even beat Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s address to the nation in the ratings.
She said: “I don’t know if you’ve clocked what’s been happening in Australia ?Season 11 has been going out in Australia on ABC and they’ve scheduled it against the Prime Minister’s [Scott Morrison] address to the nation… and Vera won! There will be tweets saying ‘Vera for Prime Minister!'”
