With so many new shows on TV, my battle to watch everything has intensified. I think my grey hair is now due to figuring out how to consume as much TV while still getting the magazine out. My absolute favourite show is Inconceivable (more on p6) – I just can’t get enough. The humour does seem a bit forced, and my husband decided he is done with the series, but I’m still hooked. And let’s talk about Legacy (read Ipeleng’s take on p7). I watch the previous night’s episode diligently every morning with my second cup of coffee and it’s just as addictive as the caffeine.

Name: Genevieve Terblanche Position: cursed senior writer, don’t feed after midnight. I am watching: just the first episodes of seasons 1-8 of horror anthology series American Horror Story (AHS, 2011-now) on Showmax.

Hard cheese if you don’t care for Evan Peters (Stan in Pose,…

Following her audition, Belinda made it through to the semi-finals where she again blew the judges and the virtual audience away with her version of the Whitney Houston song I Have Nothing (1993).

So grateful for where I am and excited for where I am going!” and shortly afterwards Britain’s Got Talent tweeted, “Wow! @belindadavids took her moment to shine and blew us away with her outstanding vocals!”…

Every effort has been made by the doccie’s production crew to respect the victims of slavery, and tell their history compassionately and accurately. But based on the information collected during research, episodes include dramatic reconstructions shot at Pinewood Studios by doccie director Nick Green (2018’s A Dangerous Dynasty: House Of Assad).
