    Just a question. There’s no definite word yet on a Ruby Herring Mysteries No. 4 although on balance it appears that the series will continue in production. Is it possible therefore that a 4th episode in the series will be made this year?

      Alan, I’m afraid I don’t know – beyond the obvious, which is that a number of production schedules have been unfortunately impacted over the last year.
