首部完全在博茨瓦纳拍摄的BBC电视剧。《第一女子侦探所》讲述了Mma Ramotswe的传奇冒险故事。

主角是一位勇敢多智的非洲女性，在当地开设了一家侦探社，成为当地独一无二的女侦探，解决了无数大小人物的生活烦恼。没有流血，没有冷酷的犯罪案件，其特色并不在展现诡异的奇案，而是一些与生活习习相关的困扰－－例如为人寻找失踪丈夫，揭发一个骗子的真面目，找寻一个叛逆女儿的下落，追查一位疑似被巫师抓去炼制补药的小男孩－－而在解决问题的过程中，展现了人性的关怀及温暖。它有的是到处可见的小机智,及充满非洲人情味及趣味的生活意趣。

在叙述这些温馨侦探故事的同时，很自然地带领观众认识一个非刻板印象中的非洲－－这个非洲展现的不是战争、饥饿、绝望，而是其美好的质朴传统及代代相传的生存毅力，全剧充满醇厚的生命情怀。

The first BBC drama to be filmed entirely on location in Botswana, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is a charming story chronicling the adventures of Mma Ramotswe.

When Precious Ramotswe was young, she spent her days with Obed, her father, in the wilds of Botswana learning the secrets of nature, and with that the joys of a natural inquisitiveness and intuition.

When Obed dies, he leaves Precious the first 'step-up' into her new career - one hundred and eighty cows. With this investment she decides to become her country's first ever female detective.

With a bad marriage to jazz musician Note Makoti behind her, the sassily independent Precious Ramotswe embarks on a radical and exciting new chapter in her life.

Precious is not deterred by town gossips and despite few assets, a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, two decrepit typewriters, a teapot and three teacups, she sets up her detective agency with a powerful sense of vocation.

The most troubling of her cases however, involves an evil form of witchcraft and the riddle surrounding a kidnapping...

"Filming The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency in Botswana was an amazing adventure" said Minghella. "The people were marvellous and the landscape, especially in the northern areas of the country, is extraordinary."

"Particularly fascinating to me was working and filming in an African country where old and new are currently co-existing, where traditional values have not yet been eroded by the demands and efficiencies and neuroses of the modern. It was a privilege to be working on a film which celebrates what we can learn from Africa and not what we think we can teach it."

BBC Controller of Fiction, Jane Tranter says, "I'm delighted that such a well loved and unique story as The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency is being produced by such an exceptional team.

"To have both voices and the visual eye of Richard Curtis and Anthony Minghella combined with the stunningly beautiful and striking setting of Botswana is a real privilege for BBC Drama and for the BBC One audience. I'm convinced that viewers will be rewarded with a very special piece of truly epic proportions."
