As a young girl growing up in the African nation of Botswana,
Precious Ramotswe was encouraged by her father to follow her dreams, no matter what.
Now in her mid 30s, Precious is doing just that by opening her country's first and
only female owned detective agency for the benefit of those that need help the most.
The first major film/TV project to be shot entirely on location in Botswana,
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective agency is based on the best-selling novels by
Alexander McCall Smith and cowritten and executive produced by
Richard Curtis and the late Anthony Minghella.
Like McCall's novels the series chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe,
the cheerful, eminently sensible proprietor of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency,
located in Kgale Hill Shopping Center on the outskirts of Gaborone.
Aided by her efficient yet high-strung secretary Grace Makutsi, Precious investigates
a variety of cases, helping townspeople solve mysteries in their lives,
from missing children, to philandering husbands to con-artist scams.
Precious Ramotswe exemplifies the courageous efforts by real-life Africans to improve
the quality of their lives while perserving their culture. Though Precious brings a
playful, even innocent, exuberance to her job, the "mysteries" she investigates are
quite serious, and include child-kidnapping, poverty, organized crime, health crises,
spousal abandonment and infidelity, ongoing problems that confront many Africans today.
