Doctor Lucy Yo is attacked and left in a burning car, her husband is devastated by her death.
Finally, after a year if waiting, we get to see the remaining episodes from series eleven, and after some of the shocking Sunday night dramas we've had, the return of Vera couldn't have come quickly enough.
I am a little surprised by some of the negative reviews I've read, I can't say I could apply any of the comments to Vital Signs. I always enjoy Vera, but if there's one criticism I can sometimes make, it's pacing, sometimes they can be a little slow, Vital Signs wasn't, it was very well paced, and after a very dramatic and intriguing opening, it held my attention.
I enjoyed the moments of humour, Kenny's cake being the best of them.
The acting was on point, I thought Hugh Quarshie really stood out, and it was nice to see Jac having a lot more involvement.
8/10.
