The beach scenes filmed in Vera, ITV's crime drama where Brenda Blethyn plays Detective Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope, were shot on location at the Blyth beach, near Blyth in Northumberland, England.
The movie was actually filmed in New York City but the TV show was mostly shot in Los Angeles, California. Many of the actors on the Fame TV show and the songs they sang became so popular that several of the Cast were able to book concerts in Britain.
