Let’s get down to business, TV business.
It’s going to be a week for the books with the launch of the latest season of Big Brother Mzansi. Seven years have flown by, but the time has finally arrived to meet a new group of Housemates who’re daring to compete and live 24/7 under one roof under the watchful eye of Big Brother!
Tell Me Your Secrets is a hair-raising psychological thriller on Universal TV (DStv channel 117) in which a young woman goes into witness protection to get away from her serial killer ex-boyfriend, and don’t miss out on some South African flavour in a new season of Live at The Apollo.
