Mostly MEN voted for this!
I was just adding my rating for this programme: On the details page, the huge majority of voters are MEN! I notice that men are much more likely to vote on IMDb, but the exception is for shows that appeal more to women. I watched Thika last week for the second time. I had seen it several years ago. I loved it both times- It really seems to be a drama that would be watched by a lot more women than men. Hmmm....
Changing the subject: It was delightful to recognise Holly Aird as the young star of the show. In recent years, I watched her on Trevor Eve's Waking The Dead. Co-incidentally, Eve's wife Sharon Mughan is in Thika. The DVD extras go so far as to wrongly credit Trevor Eve himself working alongside the child Holly in Flame Trees of Thika!
