Rebecca Root has revealed that she's on "tenterhooks" waiting to see if Boy Meets Girl is renewed.
Root admitted to Digital Spy that it is "awful" waiting for news about whether or not the BBC Two show will get a second series.
"As far as I know, the production team have got storylines ready to go," she said. "They've got episode breakdowns, character breakdowns if the BBC says, 'Okay, please will you give us another series'. But until that time, everybody's just treading water really and keeping our fingers crossed.
"When people come up to me and say, 'Oh my God, I love the show', I say, 'Thank you so much but please also tell the BBC!' I have no influence at all whether a show's going to be commissioned or not but the people who watch will, so the more people who write to the Beeb, the better.

BBC Two launched a new comedy double-bill tonight, with Danny Baker's '70s-set Cradle To Grave giving way to the thoroughly modern Boy Meets Girl.
Written by Simon Carlyle, Elliot Kerrigan and Andrew Mettam, Boy Meets Girl is the first British sitcom to feature a transgender character - played by a transgender actor - in the lead.
The six-part series charts the romance between Judy (Rebecca Root) and Leo (Harry Hepple) - and the difficulties they come up against as others come to terms with their relationship.
Kristian Smith - BBC Commissioning Editor - described the show as a "heart-warming romantic comedy" that also promotes "affirming messages of humanity and acceptance."
