At tvplus, we are in the fortunate position to watch TV for our jobs. Name any series and chances are good that someone on the team will have watched the entire season already. And it’s not just a popularity contest: for some, it’s an obsession where you need to know what’s happening next. Like Hatton Garden (p39), an action heist caper that is based on a real-life robbery in the UK where billions of rands in cash and jewellery was stolen. How did they do it? You need to watch as their plan unfolds – and what a complex plan it is! Television is more than entertainment too – it’s a wonderful talking point for real-world issues, like in comedy series Black-ish (see p34), where new mom Bow suffers from…

What did you as Mathabo learn about Tsonga wedding traditions? Khensani wears traditional Tsonga clothing, so there wasn’t anything specific that would say “this is a bride”. She just needed to stand out from the rest, so her colour was different from the rest of her bridesmaids. For me, the difference between how a young girl and elderly woman dresses – with elderly women they put on two micekas – a top that you put over the Xibelani (skirt) – and they use two micekas for older women. If you’re a young girl, you just use one. And also I found out about the process of the traditional wedding, where you sit down on the grass mat and your father introduces your husband to the family’s ancestors and you guys…

The first, as with Gérard, was that the team wrote the character out. “This isn’t the first time and it probably won’t be the last either,” said Gérard. “I wasn’t happy about Hendrik dying but that’s what the team thought was best for the soap.” The second is that the actors decide to move, as with Annelisa. 7de Laan films in Joburg, while her new soap Suidooster is filmed in Cape Town, where Annelisa is relocating to.

Scandal!’s (2005-current, see more on p30) ex-con Vernon “Stokkies” Jacobs is the man with the plan. Admittedly it’s always a terrible plan – like 2018’s pyramid scheme that saw him running for his life in a dress while fleeing an angry mob – but there is always a plot of sorts on the bubble in his head.
