I thought the finale of ashes2ashes would attract more than 2 million viewers.I think sabc should consider making sabc 3 a sports channel cz it does not do much in terms of viewership

@Max85, since Gold Diggers is also commissioned for 104 episodes it is supposed to come to an end on 31 December 2015. So we can expect Ashes to Ashes 2 from 04 January 2016.

I honestly wish I could understand how people prefer Uzalo over Generations.. Not to sound bias, but no way is Uzalo on Generations' level.. Generations takes the cake anyday.. I feel if people could just for a second forget that there was a Sibusiso, a Jason, a Mawande.. They'd enjoy the new Generations..

@uranus I agree there is nothing special abt uzalo bt at 1st I used to like the show untill I realise that they took the axact storyline of the series "switched at birth"and changed nothing...generations the lega is an improvement of the old one and its interesting bt people dont want to admit that it rules
