Password 2

This reboot of the iconic game show, which has in recent years found a new generation of fans on The Tonight Show, is hosted by Keke Palmer.

Palmer commands the "Password" podium as contestants from all walks of life are partnered with Jimmy Fallon and other celebrities to face off in the ultimate game of words.

Fallon plays in each of the episodes as the celebrity/contestant duos compete for cash prizes by guessing a secret password using only one-word clues.

The series established itself as the original celebrity word game when it launched in 1961 and has showcased hundreds of celebrity guests and generated several spinoffs over the course of six decades.

NBC revived the show in 1979 and 1984 prior to becoming a hit game on both Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show.

Season 2 includes even more celebrity guests including Chance the Rapper, Laverne Cox, Nikki and Brie Garcia, Lauren Graham, Wiz Khalifa, Jimmy Kimmel, Johnny Knoxville, Liza Koshy, Howie Mandel, Joe Manganiello, Joel McHale, Meghan Trainor, Lindsey Vonn and Roy Wood Jr.

It will continue to draw upon gameplay elements from past versions of the hit format but will also include new series additions.

New this season, "Shoot the Moon!" can be played when a contestant first sees the password and is confident that they can get their teammate to guess it with just one clue; that player can then tell Palmer they want to "Shoot the Moon!".

If they correctly guess the password with one clue, they'll get eight points instead of the usual six.

But, if they get it wrong, their opponent will get a chance to steal.

New for tiebreakers, Palmer will take creative license to deliver clues in her own voice with the opportunity to "perform" the words until one contestant buzzes in with an answer, instead of the show presenting clues.

In addition, the second round of games in each episode now includes a special category or theme that relates to all the passwords in that round.

Also new, "Password Prize of the Night" randomly selects a moment during the game where a special sound will play to signify that the next password is also worth a fabulous prize.
 

The Musketeers 3

Channel: BBC UKTV (DStv 134)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Period Drama, Action, Adventure

The Musketeers 3

The Musketeers is set on the streets of seventeenth century Paris, where law and order is more of an idea than a reality.

In addition to being King Louis XIII's personal bodyguards, Athos, Aramis and Porthos stand resolutely for social justice, honour, valour, love - and for the thrill of it.

Luke Pasqualino stars as D'Artagnan alongside Tom Burke as Athos, Santiago Cabrera as Aramis and Howard Charles as Porthos.

Rupert Everett and Matthew McNulty join the cast for the third season.

In the Season 3 premiere, "Spoils of War": In war-torn France, three musketeers launch a daring attack on the Spanish while Aramis battles his conscience at the nearby monastery.

When brutal mercenary Lucien Grimaud brings the war to Aramis's new home, the former friends reunite to foil a stolen arms deal and rescue a group of orphans.

Four years after vowing to never fight again, is Aramis still a musketeer at heart?

Meanwhile, in Paris, a sinister new battle awaits in the form of the corrupt governor Philippe Feron.
