What a year it has been! I think we can all agree it was challenging to say the least. This year even has an influence on how often tvplus is on shelf – and it doesn’t have anything to do with COVID. This year, the public holidays fall in such a way that distribution on certain days is impossible, so we had to work around it. The solution? To have the next two issues of tvplus on shelf for three weeks, and not only the normal fortnight we’re used to. It feels very weird to deviate from the norm and it was a challenge for us to still bring you the best stories and insights into storylines.

“Why when it comes to viewing cricket does the SABC always lose the broadcasting rights.” – ANONYMOUS PER SMS “Hi. I love the soaps, but most of all I’m missing the cricket. Please put it on. Thanks. Alicia Joubert.” – PER SMS Dear Anonymous and Alicia. The broadcasting of cricket on SABC is always a contentious topic. So many people hate the interruption of regular shows and feel that there should be a dedicated, free sport channel where it can be aired. And others, like Alicia, love the cricket. I’ve tried to get the SABC to answer us about the broadcasting rights and how it works, but I didn’t get a straight answer – only that they did manage to get the rights to upcoming tours. So we have good…

Like these from Showmax… UNHINGED 86 MINUTES Road rage is an everyday thing. It happens to the best of us at the worst of times. Russell Crowe’s character Top Cooper aka The Man isn’t the best of society, though. In fact, he’s everything that’s wrong with us.

Please find out for me, I would really like to know as I’m a huge fan of Days Of Our Lives. Thanks, Alison.” – PER SMS Hi Alison, yes, how annoying is that! I was also baffled at the time jump. Joe Strydom from e.tv says that the wrong episodes were aired. “This was due to a delivery issue from the distributor. The corrected episode running order aired from Wednesday, 24 November. We apologise for the error.” It felt to me like the correct episodes only started airing recently, but I may have missed a couple. Alison, I hope you are still tuning in. I…
