The Super Models
Channel: Apple TV+
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Documentary Series
This four-part series spotlights the remarkable careers of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington.
Unprecedented access to the models takes you behind the camera and beyond the catwalk, revealing how they dominated the elite modeling world while illuminating a bond that single-handedly shifted the power dynamic of an entire industry.
The Super Models travels back to the 1980s, when four women from different corners of the world united in New York.
Already forces in their own right, the gravitas they achieved by coming together transcended the industry itself.
Their prestige was so extraordinary that it enabled the four to supersede the brands they showcased, making the names Naomi, Cindy, Linda and Christy as prominent as the designers who styled them.
Today, the four supermodels remain on the frontlines of culture through activism, philanthropy and business prowess.
As the fashion industry continues to redefine itself — and women's roles within it — this is the ultimate story of power and how four women came together to claim it, paving the way for those to follow.

Taking the world by storm, the women become the faces of '90s culture until shifting perceptions and a controversial remark shake things up.
The Legacy

Grace, a mother of a teenage boy, has made the decision in her 40s to leave her steady job as a social worker to join the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Having previously worked in social care she straddles a fine line between the personal and professional.
It's the biggest gamble of her life, and just a few weeks into the job, she's making so many mistakes that her decision no longer looks like a winning bet.
Her fellow rookies are Annie, who struggles with the fact that her chosen path may mean having to leave everything she's ever known behind; and Tommy, who is desperate to prove himself, despite being disastrously inept at the practical side of frontline response policing.
All three are new police officers in their probation period with the PSNI, the odds are at least one of them isn't going to last.
The pressure is immense, but if they succumb to it, they won't survive.
Often the rookie officers don't know the extent of the peril they are in, or who they can trust.
What's it like to have to hide your job from neighbours, friends and even family?
How do you distinguish between who needs your help and who wants you dead simply because of the uniform you wear?
In the series premiere, "The Code": PSNI probationer Grace promises to help Angela, whose son has fallen in with a notorious gang.

Life at the Limits
Channel: Curiosity Channel (DStv 185)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Wildlife, Nature, Documentary Series
This documentary explores how animals adapt and thrive in extreme environments around the world, showcasing remarkable strategies and behaviours in the face of harsh conditions.
From the poles to the tropics, from desert to swamp, from mountain peaks to ocean depths – life on Earth has spread into every niche – even into the most extreme environments on our planet.
Animals have developed remarkable strategies and behaviours to thrive in the harshest conditions.
There are birds that use a volcano's heat to breed; sloths that turn out to be excellent swimmers; and monkeys that live at 1,500 metres above sea level which have grown long fur to cope with the cold.
Environments can change into extreme places during different seasons - to the advantage of some, and the demise of others.
When ponds dry out at the height of summer they expose the last remaining fish to hungry crocodiles and storks.
Dry riverbeds may fill and turn into raging streams after rare rainfalls – helping animals make it over the worst times in their unforgiving desert homes.
These are just a few examples of nature's amazing ability to adapt to the most difficult circumstances.
This three-part series presents extreme habitats all around the globe.
Meet the resident species that are pushed to their limits to survive and thrive.
We'll follow their lives and see their fascinating solutions, because in the end, it all comes down to evolution's hard truth: adapt or die.
Wet and Dry
In the Amazon forest, the largest rainforest on Earth, animals must deal with high rainfall and periodic flooding.
The sloth spends most of its time hanging upside down in trees, eating leaves.
To overcome constantly water-laden fur, the sloth’s fur grows in the opposite direction to other mammals.
Hot and Cold
While orang-utans avoid the midday sun others are drawn to heat; some animals seek the hottest places on Earth – volcanoes.
Each morning, volcano birds gather at the foot of Tavurvur volcano to excavate the hot ash – each one will lay a single egg.
High and Low
The highest and the lowest places of our planet also offer niches where life thrives.
High up in the Alps, animals have developed particular strategies to survive.
Short, hot summers follow long, hard winters – seasonal extremes that test the endurance of Alpine inhabitants.
