Gentle, heart-caressing and unpretentious, the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is the beautiful and acclaimed TV film of Precious Mambotswe, from the more acclaimed, charming series of stories by Alexander McCall Smith.
Mambotswe is the only female detective in Botswana and, by default, the number-one female detective in the land. She is played by stunning and understated, Jill Scott who is nigh-on perfectly cast in the role.
The film is an undemanding stroll, packed with gentle-suspense, wit and warm understanding, through a Africa known and loved by many.
The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a delightful and memorable watch.
