TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Wildlife, Documentary Series

A Gathering Storm

A major global series forming a unique view on the planet's fiercest storms, through the experience of people who work at sea inside the major hurricane zones of the world.

Through extensive access agreements, hundreds of cameras are embedded on boats, ships and oil platforms.

So, as the storm approaches and the clock ticks down we are with the people who witness weather at its wildest, from all angles.

All face different challenges, with different cargoes, deadlines and routes. At stake is the job, their cargo, their equipment... and their lives.

This series tells their greatest stories; the triumphs of engineering, ingenuity and sheer bravery that go along with working in storms at sea.

Through their eyes we witness the rise of the storm. And we experience what it takes to get their job done in the face of nature's wildest weather.

To explain what lies behind the unpredictability and danger unfolding on the ocean's surface, these first-hand stories combine with scientific insight, analysis and satellite mapping.

In the series premiere, "Hurricane Humberto": Warm seas in the Atlantic and Caribbean threaten a monster hurricane, and they deliver.

A tropical cyclone forms near the Bahamas, aiming for Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. But it turns as it builds, putting the East Coast on alert.

And as Hurricane Humberto forms, and grows to Category 3 status, its tight arc sends it directly towards the island of Bermuda.

This is what the 1,000 cameras captured.
 

Ryk Bruid, Arm Bruid

Channel: VIA (DStv 147)
TX Time: 20h30
Genre: Reality, Afrikaans

Ryk Bruid, Arm Bruid

No matter what the size, every bride has a budget.

Whether a princess or a pauper, each episode of Ryk Bruid, Arm Bruid (Rich Bride, Poor Bride) looks at how a bride, no matter what size her budget is, struggles through the planning of her wedding.

The story begins with a wedding planner meeting where our couples reveal a laundry list of expectations.

Once the wedding planner has an idea of the type of wedding desired he/she receives an envelope containing the total budget amount.

Watch the highs and lows of what happens when costs collide with expectations.

The budget isn't revealed until the end of each episode—through laughter, tears and tantrums, it will have all been worth it to see two loving people tie the knot... and hopefully not around each other's necks.

From flowers to decor, bridal gowns to food, can a small budget bride make her day glamorous? And will a high budget bride ever be happy?
