Based on Alexander McCall Smith's bestselling novels, this six-part drama series chronicles the adventures of Precious Ramotswe (Jill Scott), the proprietor of the only female-owned detective agency in Botswana. Aided by her highly efficient yet somewhat peculiar secretary Mma Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), Precious investigates cases and helps people solve problems in their lives - and begins a special friendship with the highly respectable owner of a local garage, JLB Matekoni (Lucian Msamati). The series is a continuation of the original two-hour BBC pilot episode, which was directed by Anthony Minghella before his untimely death in 2008.
