A sharp detective with a messy life, DCI Vera Stanhope patrols her “patch” of northeast England, pursuing the truth in cases of murder, kidnapping, and blackmail. Vera is obsessive about her work and faces the world with caustic wit, guile and courage.

Dickie—along with drag queen Mam, self-styled hun Lucinda, awkward Sal, and newcomer Stewart—navigate love, life, and their pride for a town that feels neglected in its own little corner of the UK.

From the wonderful world of Smoggie Queens, Dickie hosts a one-of-a-kind chat show from a makeshift studio tucked away in Mam’s garage. With a lineup of celebrity guests and plenty of unexpected surprises, it’s a chat show experience they won’t forget.
