Battlefields South Africa with John Robbie

A documentary series which brings three of the country's most notable historic battles to life.

Through devastating mistakes, and hard-fought victories, Battlefields South Africa uncovers many of the lessons that still shape modern warfare.

In Episode 1, comedian Themba Robin and Robbie explore the first major clash of the Anglo-Zulu War - the Battle of Isandlwana.

They guide viewers through the terrain, formations and fatal misjudgments of this battle.

In Episode 2, investigative journalist and avid history enthusiast Ruda Landman walks the historic battlefields of Colenso and Spionkop during the South African War together with Robbie.

Rock the Block 6

Rock the Block returns for a new season with a fresh seven episodes which will raise the stakes like never before when two seasoned veteran teams come back to the block to challenge two rookie teams hungry for a win.

Carpenter, craftsman, design expert and series' host Ty Pennington will charge the HGTV powerhouse duos to face-off in an epic renovation battle just outside Salt Lake City, Utah.

Each team will have just six weeks and a budget of $250,000 to renovate identical modern properties that boast breathtaking mountain views, soaring interior spaces and the largest backyards in series' history, transforming them with their signature vision and personalised design style.

The team who clinches the highest appraised value for their home will claim coveted Rock the Block bragging rights and a street named in their honour.

Former competitors and judges returning to the block on the veteran teams will include:

- star designer Alison Victoria (Sin City Rehab),

- past Rock the Block champion and high-end designer Michel Smith Boyd (Luxe for Less),

- home restoration dynamo Jonathan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer) and,

- his New Kids on the Block bandmate and brother Jordan Knight (Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp).

Competing on the series for the first time, the rookie teams will feature:

- married home reno pros Chelsea and Cole DeBoer (Down Home Fab) and,

- flipping, renovation and real estate experts Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama (Renovation Aloha).

In the series premiere, "New Block, New Drama": The teams will plan and construct their home's kitchen, dining and living areas, incorporating desirable elements that will up the value and appeal to potential buyers.

In a new twist this season, expert judges will tour the finished spaces without the teams, revealing their identities and giving their honest assessments of the layouts and design choices at each weekly judging.

Designer, television host and best-selling author Bobby Berk (Queer Eye) will determine which competitor created the ideal 'heart of the home' that delivers maximum functionality and style.

Throughout the season, HGTV stars will continue the blind judging, including former Rock the Block contender Mina Starsiak Hawk (Good Bones) and previous Rock the Block winner Jasmine Roth (Help! I Wrecked My House) who will review the appeal of additional first-floor areas, including the entry, mudroom, powder bath and den.

Next up will be the main suite judging by married interior designers Ray and Eilyn Jimenez (Divided By Design), followed by the four teams evaluating their competitors' second-floor bonus spaces such as a playroom, gaming room, office and wellness retreat.

Later in the season, designer Kim Myles (Battle on the Mountain) will visit the multi-function lower levels, with show-stopping additions like a pickleball court, cold plunge and sauna, theatre and wine room.

Dynamic twin sisters, real estate and design experts, and last season's Rock the Block champions Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis (Unsellable Houses) will size up the decks and large backyards.

Finally, Property Brothers star and home renovation expert Jonathan Scott (Celebrity IOU) will survey the completed homes, including the newly revealed exteriors, guest rooms and balconies, before joining Ty to announce the winning team.

Meanwhile, across town, the wannabe-evil scientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz continually attempts to take over the Tri-State area with his various inator devices.
