* DyeingForYourArt: Music/JillScott had to bulk up to play the "traditionally-built" Ramotswe for the pilot. She was pregnant for the second, eliminating that problem.
* FakeNationality: Mma Ramotswe is played by American Music/JillScott; they tried to find someone in Africa to play her, but failed. Quite a lot of the other characters are also played by non-Batswana.
