Klop die Kunstenaar
Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Game Show, Afrikaans
Game show presented by comedian Alfred Adriaan in which every episode sees two contestants race against each other up a tower in a quest to be the first to reach to the top.
Along the way interactive games are played with celebrities from across South Africa who compete and participate from their homes through a video call against the studio contestants.
Celebrities featured include Jarrad Ricketts, Anne Hirsch, Denver Vraagom, Tracey-Lee Oliver, Kurt Darren, Nádine, Snotkop, Jack Parow, Elvis Blue, Margit, Mel Jones and Robbie Wessels.
Each week the contestants are introduced by their loved ones through a video call.
Before the start of each game cash prizes for the evening are revealed, varying from R50 to R4,000.
The cash amounts are shuffled and disappear behind numbers on the tower, starting with number 1 and ending at number 12 (number 13 is the jackpot block).
The contestants' goal is to "beat the celeb" at each game.
They first answer the question and after it is revealed whether it is correct or not, the celebrities are challenged to give an answer.
The contestants' efforts are rewarded with an assortment of cash prizes, but the celebrities play the games for fun and gain no monetary rewards.
The cherry awaits the conqueror at the top of the tower: a chance to win a R10,000 cash jackpot.

A gay superspy and his scrappy LGBTQ squad fight to prove themselves to the agency that underestimated them. Today, West Hollywood... tomorrow, the world!
Steve Maryweather, AKA Agent Mary, was once the Golden Boy of the American Intelligence Agency (AIA), until he came out as gay.
Unable to fire him, the Agency sent him off to West Hollywood, to disappear into obscurity.
Instead, he assembled a misfit squad of LGBTQ+ geniuses.
Joining forces with the expert mechanic Deb, master of drag and disguise Twink, and hacker Stat, together they're Q-Force.
But, after a decade of waiting for their first official mission from The AIA, Mary becomes hell-bent on proving himself to the Agency that turned its back on him, and decides to go rogue with Q-Force.
After finding their own case, and solving it on their own terms, they get the reluctant approval of The AIA, and are officially upgraded to Active Secret Agents in the field.
But, that approval comes with one major caveat - they must put up with a new member of the squad: straight-guy Agent Buck.
Diana's Decades
Channel: BBC Lifestyle (DStv 174)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary Series
Told in the present tense, Diana's Decades draws on never-heard-before testimony and rarely seen archive footage to immerse you in the most iconic moments of the Princess's life.
Using a rich tapestry of footage, photos and letters from those who were closest to the Princess, it pieces together her incredible journey from being a teenage Pimlico nursery assistant to finding her voice as the Princess of Wales.
The epic documentary also goes behind the scenes to provide a vivid insight into the complex woman behind the media image, who was by turns a global superstar, tabloid obsession, a wife in a tumultuous marriage, a devoted mother, a humanitarian icon and arguably the world's most hunted person.
In the series premiere, "The 1970s": This episode charts Diana's courtship with Prince Charles through to their wedding in 1981.
And since decades rarely conclude neatly with the turn of a new one, we follow our shy fairy tale bride through the birth of Prince William and on her first international tour to Australia in 1983, where she wowed the adoring crowds.
Danae Brook, a young journalist, found herself living in same block of flats as Lady Diana Spencer during her courtship with Prince Charles in the late '70s.
Danae explains how she was the journo in the right place at the right time to get the first ever interview with Diana in which she signalled that she had kept herself "tidy" for the right husband – in other words, she was still a virgin.
The British Aristocracy was an endangered species in the 1970s and Diana's own family had to open a tea room at their family seat, Althorp House, to generate income.
Diana was typical of girls of her class, coming to London after Finishing School in Switzerland, to look for romance and work.
Diana was ideally placed to marry a future king.
Not only was her grandmother great friends with the Queen Mum and her father a close aide of The Queen, but she was unsullied by previous boyfriends.
The family's TV repair man, Ray, tells how Dianas sights were always set high – she told him she wanted to live in Buckingham Palace.
The '70s were a decade of bra-burning activism across the first world and Womens Rights were top of the agenda with Equal Pay and Sex Discrimination legislation passed and The Pill widely available.
And the UK had its first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
Diana appeared largely untouched by the political fervour of the decade but she did take out the vow to obey her husband in a nod to feminism.
This was also a decade of worldwide recession and race riots broke out across the United Kingdom.
Diana meanwhile was the perfect fairy tale Princess we all needed to distract ourselves from the economic hardship ravaging the country.
