In Precious Ramotswe, Jill Scott, Anthoney Minghella has created an unlikely hero: A woman who has is intellegent, not a size 2 and very happy with herself.
They have breathed immense life in to Alexander McCall Smith’s creation, so much so that after you have finished watching the TV film you yearn to visit Botswana and have a cup of bush tea with the No. 1 Ladies Detective.
This is a film that will not change you life per say, but what it will do is change your opinion of Africa. Too many films these days have centred on the atrocities Africa and its people suffer. This is not to say these stories should not be told, but it is so refreshing to see this vast country represented in such a colourful and positive life.
Jill Scott has proven that she is an actress. Her accent never falters, and she exudes her characters positive outlook, even when faced with sorrow. I for one cannot wait to see the rest of this series. I just hope it comes sooner rather than later.
