Congratulations on the birth Jill. Will any more No 1 shows be made? I really enjoyed watching them as they brought the books to life.
Congratulations are in order and may I say that Jill Scott is doing a wonderful job on this series. It is refreshing and so enjoyable. I hope that it does indeed take some awards.
I am dying to see more episodes. Makes sense now why there aren't anymore at the moment. Congrats to the new addition to the family!!! PLEASE say we will be having the show back on BBC again soon though. I watch it religiously!
Congratulations Mma. Wishing the new arrival and the family good health!!! Awaiting for more episodes on BBC...
Congrats to Jill..welcome to the wonderful (sometimes crazy) world of motherhood! I love you as a singer and have been inspired by your music. Your acting both in TP's Why Did I get Married and in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency have been outstanding. Jill, you truly are a woman of many talents. Not only to do write and sing beautiful melodies, but you have brought joy to many through your acting. My husband, who is from Cameroon, was delighted, surprised and captivated by your acting ability.
MORE EPISODES PLEASE!!! We miss our Sunday Night HBO ritual (its the only reason we kept HBO!!)
God Bless...
