The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency

The BBC keep putting on trailers, but no news of when its on. I have been to the BBC site, but can't find it. Anyone know when its on?

Broadcast date are usually released about three weeks before transmission.
I think the reason for not saying when the programme is on right now, is the Beeb don't want ITV to put anything up against it.
About three weeks before transmission, details have to be released to the TV guides, so it is often too late to go changing the TV schedule.
You will find that closer to transmission, the start date will be included in the trailer.

I am looking forward to it, loved the books and the film was great.

I would imagine that they will put it into the Easter schedules which would tie in with tonymclark's point.

Is it a one off or a series?

[uncle al]

Is this a new film?
There was one shown last year (at Easter I think)

[lankeela]

I think this is a series. Can't wait, I read the books after seeing the one off last easter. My only very slight criticism is I think the lady on the Red Bush Tea advert would have made a better Precious Ramotswe - the one who tells the lions to be quiet you naughty boys!

HBO (the American co-producers) are starting at the end of the month, so I would imagine then or slightly earlier.

I wouldn't be surprised if they schedule it at the same time as Lark Rise to Candleford, when that series finishes. I too am awaiting number two in the series. There are quite a few books so read them do!

[tonymclark]

It will be in the week of programmes starting 14th March, there will be a feature in Radio Times that is out on 10th March.

March 15th, just heard

[lankeela]

Excellent, can't wait.
