Temple
Channel: BBC First (DStv 119)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Drama, Medical Drama
Temple is the story of Daniel Milton, played by Mark Strong (Low Winter Sun, Deep State), a talented and successful surgeon.
Following a personal tragedy that shatters his comfortable life, Daniel partners up with a lonely yet resourceful young man named Lee to start a literal 'underground' clinic, situated in the vast labyrinthine network of tunnels and spaces beneath London.
There Daniel treats all those who cannot, or will not, seek more legitimate means of healthcare: criminals, illegal immigrants, and the just plain weird.
Of course, such a risky endeavour is not without its surprises, and Daniel and Lee are soon joined in the bunker by Anna, a guilt-ridden medical researcher; and Jamie, a young fugitive bank robber who's in way over his head.
And so, down in the bowels of the city, the good doctor must do his best to juggle this misfit team and their needs alongside those of an illegal clinic and its increasingly unpredictable clientele.
But Daniel also has another mission, one close to his heart, and as he begins to push his moral boundaries as both a doctor and a man, it becomes worryingly apparent that it may actually be him and his desperate actions that finally bring the whole thing crashing down...

However, as it turns out he double-crossed none other than the local butcher, Bonanza (Kenneth Nkosi), who also goes by the name "The Heist King".
Seeking the advice of those she trusts, Mapule takes the news to her prayer group, who also happen to be stokvel ladies.
Soon the pastor's wife Fumane (Joyce Skefu) comes up with a plan to use the ill-gotten gains for the good of the community, using the stokvel.
Fumane is a respected and loved figure in the community, and the changes she makes using the money see her become of real service to the church and community.
She also uses her actions as a way to escape her controlling husband the pastor (Don Mlangeni Nawa), who is more concerned about his church and image than his wife.
However, money and power can corrupt, and Fumane slowly finds herself being drawn into temptations she should probably rather avoid.
The question becomes: will this archangel of Soweto stay true to what she stands for?
