Series of eleven (so far) books, written by Alexander McCall Smith, involving Precious Ramotswe, Botswana's first female detective and therefore number one. The books have been adapted for TV, with the two-hour pilot in Easter 2008, followed by a six-part series in 2009, based on all ten books. The books were originally going to be filmed in South Africa, but Botswana's government, realising the tourism that would come its way, offered The BBC $5 million to film there instead. So they did. The pilot was the last work of director Anthony Minghella before his death in 2008.
