DStv COMPACT SEPTEMBER HIGHLIGHTS
September 2010
Over the past year, the Kardashians have been through marriages, break-ups, babies and more, leaving fans to wonder: what could possibly be next? The answers are right around the corner as E! Entertainment Television launches an all-new season of popular series KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS on DStv. Premiering on Sunday September 26 (22:00 CAT), this family, helmed by assertive and outspoken matriarch and mom-ager Kris Jenner and her affable Olympic gold medalist husband Bruce Jenner, brings nonstop drama and chaos wherever they go. And as if the lives of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Robert weren’t hectic enough, Kendall and Kylie are entering the spotlight which brings a whole new set of troubles to the family dynamic.
If you are the type of DStv Compact viewer that enjoys a good series then you need look no further than Universal Channel this month as the channel premiers the brand new series ROOKIE BLUE on Friday September 17 (21:00 CAT). Already a hit in the U.S., the series is the highest-rated series in more than a year, with over 7.3 million viewers. ROOKIE BLUE is a cop show that follows a group of new rookie recruits - served straight up with a twist of danger and high-stakes drama. At the police academy they trained and fought together. Now they're on the job together enduring dangerous pursuits, fierce shootouts and deadly standoffs. They're ready to brave anything on the job; but their personal lives could use some back-up.
Another must see program for DStv Compact viewers this month is National Geographic Channel’s MY 9/11 airing on Saturday September 11 (21:00 CAT). The program revisits that day with a collection of powerful, immersive stories of people who were intricately associated with and impacted by the event. It takes a look at people in the highest echelons attempting to prevent and stop the attacks; ordinary people caught in the middle, like the window washer cleaning the windows of the 93rd floor of the World Trade Center just moments before the attack; and people who still cannot shake how the events of that morning altered their worlds forever.
Much of the 9/11 story is well-known: President George Bush in a schoolroom in Florida, hijackers sliding past airport security checkpoints in Boston, the brave NYC firefighters storming the World Trade Center to save lives, and the chaos in Washington as the Pentagon lay smoldering and rumors abounded about which target would be next. But many incredible personal stories of those central to the unfolding events have yet to be heard, and those with surprising new perspectives on the day are only now ready to talk. Don’t miss this heartwarming documentary on DStv this month!

The locals of Portishead were devastated when the council announced it was closing their much-loved open air swimming pool. The community rallied round and persuaded the council to hand their pool back to them. However, there’s only one problem – there’s months of work to be done and a very short deadline.
In just seven days Ty and the people of Portishead must reopen and renovate their neglected pool and transform it into a Mediterranean-style oasis ready in time for the vital summer season.
But the pool takes seven days to fill and heat. With the clock ticking, will Ty complete his mission of mercy? It’s a tall order, but if anyone can do it, Ty can.
