IT’S ALL ACCESS

M-Net’s new magazine show to be anchored by Mark Bayly and Pabi Maloi.

M-Net’s brand new magazine show All Access, touted to be South Africa’s next big weekly “it” television event, will be anchored by Mark Bayly and Pabi Moloi.

The show, which will be broadcast on Thursday evenings at 19h30 from June 25, will give M-Net viewers a special backstage pass to everything hot and happening, while a team of witty and knowledgeable presenters - all celebrities in their own right - will spend quality time in the presence of everybody who’s somebody in the world of glitz, glam and entertainment.

Mark rose to fame as the adventurous, no-nonsense presenter of Survivor: South Africa, but according to to M-Net’s Head of Local Content, Helen Smit, All Access viewers will see a side of Mr Bayly that has not yet been explored on television. “Our viewers will definitely be delighted by a very different side of Mark, he seems even more at home in a tux on the red carpet than he did in the bush. There is also a delightful chemistry between Mark and Pabi, which sets the scene for a warm, fun-filled show.”

Pabi Moloi literally grew up in front of the camera. She did her first advertisement at the age of four, and for many years, she was one of M-Net’s lively KTV presenters. These days, she is also conquering radio and is currently presenting the lunch-time show on 94.7 Highveld Stereo.

“We would like All Access to be appointment viewing that will provide M-Net viewers with all the latest news about the entertainment world as well as what happens behind the scenes to make it possible. Pabi is a well-loved celebrity in her own right and has access to some of the hottest stars and events in the country in her day-to-day life. People love her and will love seeing what she is up to every week,” Smit added.

All Access is produced by Homebrew Films, and will serve as a platform to reflect every angle of the local entertainment industry: behind the scenes, recording studios, the art of making films, you name it! All Access will be the only magazine programme viewers need to watch every week to keep them updated with the entire entertainment, fashion and celebrity scene, both locally and abroad.
