A good reason not to
Scraping the very bottom of reality television and plastering it on the faces of contestants is the master of motley makeovers and self titled Glam Guru, Hannon Bothma.
Courageous Hannon pumps his own face full of snake venom and openly wears make up. Each week he lures shy and frumpy middle aged women into his den of depravity with promises of facial rejuvenation and fashion revival.
As if mesmerised by his dead forehead, perfectly plucked and pencilled eyebrows and patronising demeanour, the poor dears allow this plastic monstrosity and his curling and teasing team of drones to inflict heinous crimes of fashion on their limp hair and sagging bodies, transforming them from conservatively awful to positively laughable.
Complete nonsense that can not be tolerated by any right thinking human being - the lasting popularity of this show clearly illustrates why democracy is not a good idea.
Currently in its umpteenth season Glam Guru continues to fester on kykNET on Fridays at 18h00
But why you probably should
Time travel to 1976 and watch the birth of the comedic genius that is Tobie Cronje in the title role of Willem, a bumbling fool private detective with a heart of gold, who is unwillingly dragged into outrageous situations by his desperate to be paid secretary, Pennie (Katinka Heyns).
Apart from terrible sound quality in parts (that could easily be rectified by the addition of sub titles), this 35 year old series has aged remarkably well, with the outdated vehicles and ridiculous outfits adding to the hilarity.
Willem airs on kykNET on Fridays at 20h00.
