The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency on HBO!
« on: January 10, 2009, 08:54:10 PM »
HBO is making a show based on the series! They cast Jill Scott as Mma Ramotswe. I'm so excited! It's not like HBO never laid an egg or anything, but most of their series are top notch and I hope this will be too. I just love the books.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say
"Thank you for being a friend!"

Awesome.  I liked the series, but my husband is more of a fan.  Looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

Don't hold your breath....

This is a joint BBC production..the pilot was shown last March.  I LOVED the books, but I started watching this and...og God it's sooo slow!  I found it just too dull I am afraid, and switched off after 20 minutes.

I saw the pilot last year on BBC...I have to disagree with Vicky, though because I really enjoyed it! Jill Scott does a great job.  Good to see they're making a proper series out of it. :)
