No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, The (TV Series)

Synopsis: A fiesty Botswana woman opens the country's first female owned detective agency in this BBC/HBO television series based on Alexander McCall Smith's bestselling novels.

Aroview: Filmed on location in Botswana - a major first for the country, this vibrant, award winning series comes with a hefty line-up of executive producers, namely the Weinsteins, Anthony Minghella, Richard Curtis and Sydney Pollack.
Eschewing gunplay and profanity, this is a gentle take on the mystery series. With strong, endearing characters, skilled writing and a refreshingly positive portrayal of an African country, this show thoroughly deserves the praise heaped upon it.

Begins with a feature-length pilot episode directed by Minghella and co-written with Curtis.
