Our current guilty pleasure: the repeat of First Dates South Africa on BBC Lifestyle. We missed it when it first aired and we're happily surprised by how realistic the dates are. The venue's contrived with the cheesy barman and scene stealing waitresses but the actual daters have a sincerity to them.

And the Bazozwa award for Best First BBMzansi Diary Room entry goes to BuhleB. To paraphrase her: "Liema's pretentious, extreeeemly pretentious. I can't read her. What is it that you're trying to hide? What mask are you putting on?! She thought we were gonna give her fan energy. But we didn't. After the first night she realised that trying to be above us is not gonna work."

The curse of DStv 103 strikes again. 1Max and the channel number have vanished, replaced with nudda. The fiasco has to go down as DStv's worst premium channel disaster ever. First it was Vuzu Amp, then 1Magic and now 1Max has been put out of its misery.

Anyone remember the days when Tom Cruise did comedy? - before he took himself so seriously. Studio Universal (DStv 112) goes back to those heady days on Tuesday 15 October at 21h45 with the film Knight and Day. Spy-on-the-run Roy Miller gets on a plane with commitment-shy June Haven, played by Cameron Diaz. It was made in 2010 and includes stunts. Cameron will definitely be funnier than him. >>

Piers Morgan ditched by ITV's Good Morning Britain after his tirades against Meghan Markle which led to him flouncing off the show for 10 minutes after a fight with the weatherman. Of course reports say he left but we assume his arm was twisted into an exit after the show received 41,000 complaints about his comments and behaviour.
