Service Without A Smile
Ever taken your car for a service and found it had clocked 220km in an 80km zone? Or ploughed nose first into a wall when you believed it was safely at the garage? Or has a car dealer sent armed guards round to relieve you of your courtesy car in the dead of night? Carte Blanche investigates some less than joyful rides.

Katinka & SimonMeet Katinka Heyns and her son Simon Barnard, who have finally come to terms with the bi-polar disorder that almost destroyed their lives. In a gripping and tragic film they face the demons that at times made Simon so manic he thought he was a prophet, and at other times so depressed that he tried to hang himself. Carte Blanche speaks to mother and son.
