Great African Mysteries 2

In this local production, we uncover some of the biggest mysteries in South African history.

Presented by talk radio host John Robbie, Great African Mysteries will unlock the secrets of Africa's past.

The Earth's oldest and largest meteor crater was created over 2-billion years ago when an asteroid hit the Earth near the present-day town of Vredefort, in South Africa.

The asteroid, which was the size of Table Mountain, upturned over 25 kilometers of the Earth's crust.

Season 2 investigates how this cataclysmic event ultimately led to the discovery of gold, billions of years later.

The documentary also probes the mystery of the quagga, a sub species of the Plains zebra, that was extinct for over 140 years, but which scientists are working to revive.

Robbie explores how through selective breeding an attempt is being made to retrieve the genes responsible for the quagga's characteristic striping pattern.

The last of the three stories featured in the documentary unearths the secrets behind the ancient walled kingdom of Thulamela, nestled within Kruger National Park.

Dating back to the 15th century, its ruins unveil a rich history of trade and culture, offering a unique glimpse into Africa's past.

The discoveries made at ancient kingdoms like Thulamela challenge the long-held belief that trade between the people of South Africa and other parts of the world began when the Dutch landed in the Cape.

The charismatic teaching tennis pro, who won over Bachelor Nation with his honesty and openness to find lasting love, will be handing out roses when the season premieres.

Joey is a 28-year-old teaching tennis pro from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, who stole hearts all over America on Season 20 of The Bachelorette with his loyalty, thoughtfulness and compassion.

Before his emotional exit, audiences saw Graziadei open up about his family values and how those closest to him have influenced his desire to find lasting love.

As the Bachelor, Graziadei is looking for a life partner who is outgoing, caring and shares his love for adventure and exploring the outdoors.

He loves hiking, surfing and ending his days watching the sunset but knows he has much more love to give, and the only thing missing is someone with whom to share his life.

In the Season 28 premiere: Love awaits 32 women - the most to ever arrive at the mansion on night one - as they make Bachelor history and prepare to open their hearts to Joey.

With a first impression rose on the table, the pressure is on and every moment counts.

The Player

From the executive producers of The Blacklist comes the action-packed Las Vegas-set thriller The Player.

The series co-stars Wesley Snipes as a pit boss and Charity Wakefield as the dealer for a high-stakes game where an organisation of wealthy individuals gamble on the ability of former military operative turned security expert Alex Kane (Philip Winchester) to stop some of the biggest crimes imaginable from playing out.

Can he take them down from the inside and get revenge for the death of his wife, or is it true what they say: The house always wins?

In the series premiere, "Pilot": Special op turned security expert Alex Kane is unable to catch his ex-wife Ginny's murderer.

In searching for justice Kane crosses paths with a shadowy organisation called the House, led by Mr. Johnson (Snipes) and Cassandra King (Wakefield).

Kane reluctantly joins forces with the elite organisation whose members bet on whether he can stop future crimes.
 

The Neighborhood 6

Genre: Comedy

The Neighborhood 6

The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighbourhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighbourliness.

Dave Johnson is a good-natured, professional conflict negotiator.

When his wife, Gemma, gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover, unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town.

Their opinionated next-door neighbour, Calvin Butler, is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block.

However, Calvin's gracious wife, Tina, rolls out the welcome wagon; their chipper younger son, Marty, thinks the Johnsons could be good for the community; and their older son, Malcolm, finds Dave may finally be someone who understands him.

Dave realises that fitting into their new community is more complex than he expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, they have an excellent chance of making their new neighborhood their home.

In the Season 6 premiere, "Welcome to the Foos Box": Gemma and Dave are adjusting to Grover growing up and becoming a teenager, and Marty and Calvin are struggling with different management styles at work.

Also, we meet one of Marty's new employees, Courtney, who might become something more.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "Welcome to the Awkward Conversations": Marty and Courtney are navigating the pregnancy news and what it all means for their future, while Malcolm is dealing with his own workplace relationship.
