7de Laan (2000)
Bad soap opera
Contrary to what most South Africans would admit, this is one of the worst shows on South African television. The acting and writing is too bad too describe in words. I have watched soap operas for more than 15 years, including many other South African soaps, and this is the worst by far. There may be no sex scenes which 'makes it suitable for family viewing' as someone else commented here, but no relationship ever lasts. The younger people in the soap swap boyfriends and girlfriends like there is no tomorrow - which I would not think is suitable viewing for someone still growing up and learning what life is like. Also, it is not considered a plus for the soap to get well known and good actors to play roles, no, a 'sexy young new actor/actress' is considered a bigger plus. And usually this just contributes further to lack of acting talent on the show. My honest expert opinion - don't watch!
Agter elke man (1990)
Agter Elke Man - The Movie
A concluding movie to the Afrikaans TV-series that ran for 2 seasons, this movie focuses mainly on Bruce Beyers after he is released from jail (2 years after the second season ended).
Many main characters from the TV series did not return for the movie - among others Christine Basson en Sulette Thompson.
The movie also features Steve Hofmeyers' song, Agter Elke Man, which he wrote for the movie.
This movie was filmed just before the release of Franz Marx's new daytime drama Egoli, and featured a lot of the actors that would act in that as well.
