My Feet Are Killing Me Season 2
Dr Brad Schaeffer and Dr Ebonie Vincent are putting their patients back on their feet. Brad has a patient with big toes so long it looks as if her feet are hitchhiking, Ebonie has a patient whose feet look like hooves, and there’s more drama to come with feet split down the middle, growths, extra toes, missing toes, ballet feet, pasta-shaped toenails, extreme calluses, itchy feet, and stinky issues. Above all there’s hope, as the doctors counsel, comfort and get to work.
Watch My Feet Are Killing Me Season 2 from Friday, 13 May at 20:00 on TLC (DStv Channel 135).
Scariest Night of My Life Season 1
People share their tales of terror about the nights when they got to live out their own horror movies, thanks to paranormal encounters. This season, a young mother claims she’s been attacked by evil spirits while trying to cleanse her home, teen siblings’ housesitting nightmares come true, a black mist and the spirit of a little boy haunt an apartment, a screaming ghost girl terrifies urban explorers in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, and a WWII ghost rises on a stormy night in a former asylum.

Secrets of The Zoo: Tampa Season 2
The Vets and animal care experts at ZooTampa take us behind the scenes to show us the daily tasks involved in caring for exotic animals. This season, we’ll follow a pregnant rhino’s journey to motherhood, a young zebra who does not want his vet check-up, panther kittens out exploring, and penguin eggs hatching and more. And we’ll see how the zoo staff prepare the animals for a cold snap in normally sunny Florida, and how they move animals into new enclosures. A must-see for families with animal obsessed kids

Space Invaders Season 1
No matter how much you clean, does your house look messy again just minutes later?
