Just-the-facts February on DStv Compact Plus

Get ready for a sizzling summer of hot button topics on DStv Compact Plus – your prime DStv destination for true crime, documentaries, nature and history.

Huff and puff, nature fans, because Curiosity Channel (DStv Channel 185) is bringing us special documentaries on both wolves and pigs in Wolves: Power of The Pack and Meet The Pigs. Nature also takes the spotlight in Tundra, and Little Dogs, Big Personalities, which is all about the wolves’ cousins like foxes and wild dogs.

Travel buffs can get their fix of excitement, adventure, culture and history in Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown Season 9, This Is Greece Season 1 and The Enigma of The Celtic Tomb. For a touch of eerie travel and exploration, Secrets In The Ice Season 2 and Abandoned Engineering Season 2 both take us around the world to show us our forgotten past through structures lost in jungles, buried in ice or just lost through neglect. And if you like your history off the beaten track, Hi$tory with Peter Sagal and Digits Season 1 provide fascinating perspectives on US history through the lens of financial decisions and the growth of the internet, respectively.

In the brand-new true-crime series Released To Kill, journalist Donal MacIntyre asks why 1 in 5 murders in the UK has now been committed by an ex-prisoner. And Green River Killer: Hunting For The Monster explores how Gary Ridgeway was able to target, assault and murder over 49 young women without being caught – even after being brought to the police’s attention. Criminal psychologists might have the answers you’re looking for in another new series, Inside The Mind of a Serial Killer. How I Caught The Killer and Cold Justice both return for third seasons.

Need a breather from all the serious stuff? Comedy Central (DStv Channel) has your back with the rerun of sitcom South Side, and stand-up comedians giving their perspective on the ongoing pandemic in Ilana Glazer Presents Comedy Earth.
