Yes, it is! Jamila is an Indian name. There was a character on The Bill with that name as a screen name once.
All this talk of accents (which I half understood) and Jamila's name made me remember that when I used to watch The Bill, I probably missed a good deal more speech than I realised, not just with their Cockney accents, but their localised slang. But they were all good actors, stage-trained of course, and I relied on their body language and expressions, and never missed the gist.
Heaven help American viewers of this show. :D
Your little Bertie is the sweetest! Imagine if he met my colleague's hyperactive, overexcited Tallulah. Never saw such an energetic dog (same, black poodle). It would be mayhem. There are toy Tallulahs all over the office.
I still have that wonderful picture that someone made of the sinister Reginald (black cat with the white shirtfront) and his scared wife (tubby tabby) who uncovers his dark past! I used it as wallpaper and it got some smiles. Very clever.
