On A place in the Sun, property expert, Sara Damergi is scouring Europe for the best properties at the best prices. She’ll be house-hunting in Spain, France and Portugal with couples who are looking for a holiday home where they can enjoy a little more sunshine over the summer months.
Fresh Cut with Jill Manson:
Fresh Cut is an inspiring floral show that takes viewers on a South African journey of flowers. Join floral communications expert, Jill Manson, as she meets the farmers who grow some of South Africa’s most spectacular blooms, goes behind the scenes at the flower market and brings you tips and floral arrangements that you can recreate at home.
Lorraine Pascale: How to be a Better Cook
On How to be a Better Cook, professional chef Lorraine Pascale is helping amateurs improve their kitchen skills. In each episode, she takes an inexperienced cook and helps build up their confidence so the rookie can make impressive meals for friends and family. The tasks Pascale tackles include teaching a 52-year-old builder – who has never cooked a meal in his life – to prepare a Mediterranean-inspired menu, and helping a 26-year-old woman, who passes store-bought food off as her own, host a dinner party.
Laurence of Suburbia
Flamboyant home-style consultant, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, is set loose in suburbia on Laurence of Suburbia. The series sees this iconic designer visit a different suburban neighbourhood in each episode, where he will invite members of the local community to show him their inferior interiors and decorating disasters.
