Some noteworthy names
Roman empire games online. While there are obviously plenty of names in the cast for Vera episode 2, we’re looking specifically at Harki Bhambra, Lawrence Walker and Tom Glenister.

Lawrence Walker is another actor who many will also recognise from Our Girl as he appeared as the character Dangleberries in nine episodes of the BBC series. Other major roles for Walker include Casualty, The Rezort and Find Me in Paris.
And finally, we have Tom Glenister and while his first name may not ring a bell, his surname is certainly one people will recognise. That’s because Tom Glenister, whose biggest roles to date have been in Unhallowed Ground and Doc Martin, is the son of Robert Glenister and nephew of Philip Glenister, both well-renowned actors.
Vera, meanwhile, continues on ITV on Sunday, January 26th with the fourth and final episode of series 10 heading our way on February 2nd. Episodes 1 and 2 are also both available to stream on ITV Hub.
