Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly Seasons 1-3 Weekdays CBS Reality (*132) 18:50 Graeme Hall’s motto is “any dog, any age, any problem”. That doesn’t mean that he can solve your dog’s issue in the one day that you all spend together for his TV show Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly. “It doesn’t necessarily mean I can fix everything on its own. It means I’ll take anything on,” he explains. “When I first started dog training, an awful lot of people would say, ‘This dog got kicked out of dog training. They said it’s impossible to train.’ And I said, ‘Well, I’ll give it my best.’ With TV, it’s very much the case. As soon as you’ve named your show Dogs Behaving Badly, bet your bottom dollar that the TV producers are gonna…

Narcos: Mexico Season 1 Tuesdays (from 22 March) SABC3 (*193) 21:00 Drugs are bad, but the cartels and druglords running the show are way worse. Narcos: Mexico is the spin-off of biographical drama series Narcos and is set in the ’80s, when Mexico’s drug world goes from millions in sales to billions. And it’s all thanks to Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, played by Diego Luna. While it’s a well-known tale, Diego reveals that “we know nothing. What I learnt about not just Miguel, but the things he did – the plans he made and how he operated – is terrifying. He’s one of the worst of the worst. He will sit you down and make you coffee or pour you a beer, then watch as one of his henchmen strangles…

Just when Risinga Village’s new mayor Judy (Mamarumo Marokane) thought that her luck was turning around for the better, she faces public humiliation. It all begins when Judy’s childhood friend and widower Musa (Wiseman Zitha) tells her that he has feelings for her, which is music to Judy’s ears. “She’s always had a crush on Musa and Judy’s recent campaign brought the pair closer. She’s glad he reciprocates her feelings,” explains Mamarumo, whose character is caught offguard when Musa makes a suggestion. He wants to skip the dating stage of their relationship and get married right away. “Without giving the proposal much thought, Judy agrees. They think that they’re soulmates.

Clash Of The Cover Bands Season 1 Sundays (from 13 March) E! Entertainment (*124) 21:00 Copying someone is the ultimate form of flattery – that’s how the saying goes, and it’s given a flashy, fancy, loud makeover in new reality show Clash Of The Cover Bands. “We’re taking singers who’re not only covering the songs their idols sing, they are also almost a tribute band – they dress like their favourite performers,” says show judge Adam Lambert, who’s no stranger to reality TV shows – he was the runner-up of American Idol season 8 in 2009. “We’re looking for people who not only love music, they love the people who’re making that music and they’re coming out on stage giving it their all. That takes a lot of courage and…

Better Things Season 3 Fridays (from 18 March) SABC3 (*193) 20:30 Instead of over-glorifying motherhood and painting Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon) as a superwoman who saves everyone around her, autobiographical comedy series Better Things – which is based on Pamela’s life – draws humour from the challenges of being a working single parent. In season 3, Sam is on a verge of a breakdown. She’s stressed about her teen kids, she’s experiencing menopause, her career isn’t going in the direction she expected and her elderly mother Phil (Celia Imrie) is suffering from dementia. “To sum it up, Sam is under immense pressure,” says Pam. “Better Things is an exaggeration of my life. I’m not trying to make Sam a perfect person. It’s far more interesting to see her fail and…

In typical Mampho style, she barges into House Of Zwide, causes a scene at the reception area and she insists that she isn’t leaving until she speaks to Nkosi. For someone who was escorted out of the building kicking and screaming, Mampho sure is demanding. “She can’t wait to tell Nkosi the news,” says Gaisang, whose character soon walks into Nkosi and she delivers the blow. “Mampho tells Nkosi that she’s pregnant with his baby and he is speechless,” reveals Gaisang. Before they speak any…

Nkosiyabo Cele (Muzi Mthabela) gave Moroka family elder Kabisi (Mpho J Molepo) the boot as CEO of #Ezweni Communications in February, and he’s ready to bring in a lot of changes to “his” company. But when Nkosiyabo learns that Kabisi has joined his nephew Mazwi Moroka (Musa Ngema) at #Ezweni’s rival company Moroka Media, he fears that he could loose his upper hand. “Moroka Media is a small company, but it’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. In the short time that it has been operational, the company has grown tremendously. Mazwi and his business-savvy uncle Kabisi are influential men with a lot of powerful contacts,” says Muzi, who is revelling in his role. And Nkosiyabo has reason to worry… someone in his inner circle is betraying him. OUT…

Being a police officer is one of the things that has truly grounded Lilly (Noxolo Mathula) but she’s had her share of danger while chasing KwaMashu’s baddest criminals. And it almost comes to an end when she’s shot multiple times during a routine traffic stop. “She’s never confronted the possibility of losing her life at the hands of the very criminals she’s trying to protect the community from,” says Noxolo, who adds that her character’s family have suffered a lot of misfortune of late. “Her cousin Nonka (Thuthuka Mthembu) landed up in hospital after being shot.

It’s no secret how much little Karmen (Gabriella Linton) loves gardening. While out in her mom Vanessa’s (Ingrid Paulus) garden planting things with her nanny Nadine (Mmapule Tsholo), the pair discover a chest box that’s about to stir up a hornet’s nest for a few Hillsiders! “Karmen’s first instinct was that her father Xander Meintjies (Theodore Jantjies) might’ve left her another flower,” says Ingrid, referring to Xander giving Karmen a flower before his death in early 2020 – not to mention that Karmen still thinks her dad is alive… “Nadine’s loyalty to Vanessa and the family is to first show Vanessa the box before they open it,” Ingrid explains. “Besides, even if they wanted to open the box, it was solidly closed.” WHAT’S INSIDE? “I won’t tell you much, but…

“We delve into the world of plants to take their perspective, to understand how they live in this parallel universe,” says Mike Gunton, executive producer of new nature documentary The Green Planet, Sundays on BBC Earth (*184) at 16:00. “Because we are human beings, we’re very visual, very auditory. We use our senses. And so we assume all life must sense the planet like that. But if you step through this magical window into the plants’ world, you suddenly see that they experience the world in a different way. You have to find a way of using the camera to act as a translator to take you through their secret portal into their world.” Rosie Thomas, who produced the show, adds, “There are stories about forests where trees can communicate…

Along-standing feud between Tshireletso (Nay Maps) and his uncle Tenda (Nat Ramabulana) turns into flames when furious Tshireletso decides to kidnap Tenda’s wife Mpho (Azwi Rambuda) and baby Kenosi (a doll is used). “The war started when Tenda framed Tshireletso for murdering Tshireletso’s brother Hulisani (Burnett Gededger) last year,” says Nay, reminding viewers that Hulisani had a gambling and drinking problem and tried to hold Mpho for ransom. Instead, Tenda killed Hulisani. “Tshireletso’s motives for taking Mpho and baby Kenosi hostage are simple: Use them as leverage to get Tenda to confess to the police that he forced the only witness to his crime – Moipone (Mmabatho Mogomotsi) – to change her statement and frame Tshireletso for the murder,” says Nay. ULTIMATE PAYBACK Determined to prove his innocence and make…

A relationship based on a lie can only get more complicated, which is exactly what happens for Durban Gen hospital’s new couple Dr Sipho Dhlomo (Nyaniso Dzedze) and nurse Sne (Nombulelo Mhlongo). After weeks of hiding her pregnancy from her boyfriend Dhlomo – as he’s referred to on the soapie – Sne gathers the courage and comes clean. In her confession though, she omits a fairly important detail: Dhlomo isn’t the father of her unborn baby, but Sne’s ex-fling colleague Lindelani (Mike Ndlangamandla) is. However, Lindelani rejected the pregnancy and dumped Sne when she told him the happy news in January this year. What makes the situation even trickier is that Sne was aware that she was pregnant when she started dating Dhlomo and she didn’t tell him then. Why…

Like the other Price women, middle daughter Liz (Reandi Grey) hasn’t had luck with love.
