Black Tax

Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 21h30
Genre: Comedy

Black Tax

Sitcom which revolves around a successful professional woman and her family after the sudden arrival of her parents into her modest suburban townhouse.

The concept of "Black Tax" refers to paying it forward - a means of showing appreciation for all that your family has sacrificed to help propel you in life - a phenomenon that affects many families.

The series revolves around Thuli Dlamini (Jo-anne Reyneke) as she deals with the unspoken law of payback to the community of people that helped her get to where she is.

In the series, she navigates life as a single parent who juggles relationships, career and the slightly unhelpful arrival of her demanding mother and father.

Other starring cast members include Clementine Mosimane in the role of Thuli's mother, Martha; and Mandla Jwara as Sizwe, her father.

Other featured actors include Jason Goliath, Sne Dladla and Daniel Janks; as well as Mamodibe Ramodibe and Bahle Mashinini, who play the youngsters in Thuli's family.

This is a show about a young family, trying to find their feet after things go horribly wrong for their grandparents.

It's about coming together and being thankful for what you have, no matter how little.

In the series premiere, "The Cost": What is Black Tax? When you're Thuli Dlamini, it means your father losing his pension and your parents moving in with you.

In the second episode, "Maya Angelou": To mark Sizwe and Martha's relocation to her house, Thuli holds a ceremony to alert the ancestors, where a goat will be slaughtered.

This leaves Sihle in an awkward position.

Inside the Force: 24/7

This four-part series goes deep inside West Parade nick, Lincolnshire's busiest police station.

The series follows the different layers of the force as in-the-moment decisions are made and the police react.

The station is home to over 180 officers who look after a city of nearly 200,000 but they are the country's least funded force.

Genre: Thriller, Drama

Hollington Drive

This thriller sees suburban bliss turning into a suburban nightmare.

The series follows two close-knit sisters, café chain owner Theresa and schoolteacher Helen, who live side by side with their families on the upmarket Hollington Drive.

But when a local boy goes missing, the mystery that unfolds tears the families apart and tests the sisters' bond to the limit.

The sisters appear close and their families enjoy spending time together.

We open on a warm, balmy evening, barbecue sizzling on the patio, the perfect family setting.

The atmosphere is chilled, as they lounge in Theresa and Fraser's perfectly manicured garden.

Apart from Fraser's brother Eddie winding everyone up, there's hardly a hint of tension, but this is the calm before the storm.

When Theresa's 10-year-old son Ben asks to play in the nearby park with his cousin Eva, the adults begin to niggle.

Fraser is relaxed and is fine for them to go, but this doesn't help Theresa's fears of foreboding and growing feelings of anxiety.

As expected the children don't return on time, and Theresa goes in search.

Her suspicions are heightened when she finds the children on the edge of a woodland area and they appear to be fighting.

Immediately her instincts tell her something terrible has happened.

This is all realised when later that evening distraught neighbour, Jean, calls on the family.

Her 10-year-old son Alex has gone missing...

Inside the Mind of a Serial Killer 2

Forensically researching the lives of serial killers, this series features chilling real life video and audio footage of people who murdered over-and-over again.

Serial killers blend in. They appear normal. But lurking deep within their psyche are the triggers that kick-start their psychopathic behaviour.

Sinister childhood experiences, adult knock-backs, detectable mental frailty, narcissism and an absence of empathy combine to build up a body of evidence which rings alarm bells for psychologists.

With dramatic reconstructions alongside real life footage and FBI interviews, criminologists, journalists and detectives profile killers including Angus Sinclair, Anthony Sowell, Joanna Dennehy and Anders Breivik, and hear about accused serial killer Lonnie David Franklin nicknamed the Grim Sleeper whose spree of killings date back 30 years.

Experts come together with the aid of CCTV footage to reveal exactly what the telltale signs are and analyse the chilling behaviour of the killers.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Anthony Shore": The Torniquet Killer, Anthony Shore, is examined.

An intelligent father of two girls, Shore is known to have sexually abused his daughters as well as having killed three teenage girls and one adult woman.
