Bloomy loved this.

[@natalieking8712]

Love her 🫶

[@debblackmore7460]

Living with brain injury is like dementia all time there least I haven't got worry bout getting it well done stay strong stay safe x

[@aidenalamo6262]

I can picture her in a back up career in the area of teaching at university. She would own the lecture hall by acting naturally serious whilst making sure her students benefit from their parent's handover tuition money. It would be a subject such as physics or chemistry and or political science. Definitely a science field that is political or not, because she rocks a pair of glasses and stern tone really well! Kindest Regards, Aiden Alamo.

[@debblackmore7460]

I know who h is he's in steps stay safe everyone stay strong well done vicky legend xxx

[@robertwicks3782]

She has the most captivating voice, if she were the automated voice when you're waiting in a phone queue, you'd keep waiting right? rather than hanging up in a rage...

[@thomascassidy8347]

I think she is lovely xx

[@philclark6250]

Top bird Vicky,looks great in everything she does especially this is England

Vicky McClure is arguably the most tomboyish Detective Inspector in the Midland Constabulary.

[@mindthegap1669]

Hello Kate

[@ripoffkermit6671]

no joke i live next to her no joke no lie

[@hughgrection5674]

She may actually be the perfect woman? 🤔

[@joegrimes9232]

hmmm would have picked her as The Doctor. Can see her made up as a sort of 30's do. Shes so outgoing, which for a Midlands gal, I 'd expect. From Long Eaton myself, which well yeah. But V, should be the Doctor. But if they shuffle the format a bit. Ditch the bombastic orchestra and went a bit Lynch. She dresses in the 30's style because "its timeless" and selfishly, I'd like to see a kinda steampunk aspect. Just drop the doctor ex machina and the abc and tried an experimental approach. R.T Davis was alreet, but now do something... I dunno odd? I'm weird but do episodes that feel like the lighthouse movie that are black and white for the period, but with a sci fi bent. Have people glued to the set. McClure a player in the scene and revelling in it solving a mystery. Like a Poirot with robots

[@happyfeet4506]

Vicky is sex on legs she's gawjess. A brilliant actress

@@tq6892 Hello Anon I think its fine but the easily offensed brigade might possibly decry it as ever so slightly er sexist.
