Good company with DStv Access this September

We’re all out here just trying to live our lives and when life gets tough, it helps to see other people fighting through it with you. This September on DStv Access, with CBS Reality’s (DStv Channel 132) doccies like My Life With A Disfigurement, and Dr. Pimple Popper and 7 Little Johnstons on TLC (DStv Channel 135) we’ll meet some extraordinary people and appreciate their courage and resilience.

The Delightful vet Dr. Pol is back with his furry and feathered patients in The Incredible Dr. Pol on National Geographic Wild (DStv Channel 182), and if you just want an escape from it all, head over to Telemundo (DStv Channel 118). Telenovela Hidden Passion will have you glued to the drama as twin brothers are accused of murdering their nasty professor and their huge family rallies round them as they fight the case and all the accusations and rumours flying. The show has everything, including a seriously smoking hot cast!

There’s so much more to see on DStv Access, scroll down and mark your diaries for more new series, and for a sneak peek at what’s happening in the other packages…

Hidden Passion Season 2

After Professor Genaro Carreño (Alvaro Garcia) is found drowned and tied to a chair at the bottom of a lake, a blackmailer makes several taunting calls. When the police raid the Reyes-Elizondo family farm, twin sons León (Juan Manuel Restrepo) and Erick Reyes (Sebastian Osorio) have fled, while an incriminating video shows them physically attacking the Professor, who has a reputation for bullying and abusing them at school. Later, the twins confess that the Professor accused them of getting his now missing daughter pregnant. Could the murder mystery and pregnancy scandal link to a past event which involves León and Erick’s parents?

My Life With A Disfigurement

First impressions matter and like it or not, our faces make a difference. We might envy the beautiful people, but there’s a huge gap between experiencing life as just a plain or meh person, and living with a facial disfigurement from autoimmune conditions, injuries, or birth defects. In this series, three people share their experiences of seeing how others react to their faces and how they’ve managed to make their way in the world, “putting on a brave face”. This is part of CBS Reality’s continuing doccie series on people living with challenges. This month, we also explore stammering multiple personalities, and people living with dwarfism.

The Incredible Dr. Pol Season 11

Michigan based Dr. Jan Pol and his wife Diane run a veterinary clinic from their home. The season starts with a rare holiday in the Netherlands and a surprise birthday party for Dr. Pol. Chaos collides with a freak snowstorm, Halloween disorder and a full moon frenzy. Meanwhile, his patients this season include Loki the blue and gold macaw and Casper the umbrella cockatoo, who both come in with strange injuries, along with a horse who has a mysterious brain injury. As always, this is a fascinating show for kids, who’re starting to think of what they want to be when they grow up, particularly the ones who want to work with animals.

Dr. Pimple Popper Season 4

Dermatologist Dr. Sandra Lee lets us inside her clinic to meet her patients who are all battling with skin-related conditions. It’s a love or hate show, with the visuals on extractions either being your jam, or completely putting you off your custard. This season’s patients include Eric, who has a huge lipoma on his behind, and Eddie, who has a purple birthmark on his nose. We find out what Dr. Lee can do for Johnny, who has crippling psoriasis, and for Chanel, who has painful cyst tunnels in her armpits that smell like the food she eats when they leak.

7 Little Johnstons Season 8

Married couple Amber and Trent Johnston are living with dwarfism (achondroplasia) while raising a family who share their condition, including biological children Jonah and Elizabeth and adoptees Anna, Alex and Emma. Jonah moved into his own place last season, but he’s been suffering from extreme anxiety attacks and Trent and Amber are worried. Meanwhile Liz and Brice are set to move in together, and Alex and Emma have a 17th birthday coming up (in real life, Emma turned 17 in July 2022) and they put together vision boards about their futures.
