Serial Killer Sundays Are Headed Your Way On Investigation Discovery Africa In April 2019 Alongside One Of America's Best Moments That End In Tragedy

Serial Killer Sundays
Sunday April 7 and Sunday April 14 at 22:00 America’s most horrific serial killers go under the spotlight with a series of documentaries exploring their stories – and how events unfolded. BTK: The Hunt For A Killer examines the longest-running serial killer in history whose 30-year reign of terror began in 1974 with one of the most brutal murders Wichita, Kansas had ever witnessed. The programme recounts the investigation and the impact on those affected. In Deadly Legacy, detective Jason Moran reopens the case of one of America's most notorious serial killers, 'Killer Clown' John Wayne Gacy, to finally identify the eight victims who have gone without a name for decades. Bad Henry recounts how detective Garry McFadden beat the odds to find and capture serial killer, "Bad" Henry Louis Wallace. And, Atlanta Child Murders explores a tragic chapter in the city’s history, where over a two-year period at least 29 black children and young adults from low income neighbourhoods were murdered in 1980s Atlanta.

Hometown Homicide
From Wednesday 10 April at 23:00
Using the urgency and intimacy of local news footage, this powerful series tells the stories of murder investigations that turned small towns and communities upside down. Through TV news reports, family photos, and police archive, TV reporters, family, friends, and investigators recount the stories of families and communities affected by shocking crimes. From a possible serial killer on the loose in a small southern US town after a teenage girl was found dead in her home in broad daylight, to the disappearance of a popular high school teacher in southwestern Michigan, these chilling cases proved that sometimes the smallest towns are the settings for the most horrendous crimes.

American Nightmare
From Saturday 20 April at 22:00
From weddings to graduations, the best times of our lives normally go hand in hand with our warmest memories; they are moments to cherish for a lifetime. But, as this chilling series reveals, the all-American dream can become an unspeakable nightmare. Real-life home movies and photos of joyful moments and family events lie in stark contrast to the real crime scene video and 911 calls as they become tragic murder mysteries. Featuring first- person accounts from detectives investigating the crime, as well as the victims' family and friends, the series peels back the layers of each case to reveal how the horrific events unfolded.

Betrayed
From Friday 26 April at 22:00
This series follows the lives of apparently normal people who aren't aware their days are numbered. The clock ticks on their lives, as family, friends, and lovers start to reveal hidden jealousies and wicked secrets, all leading to the ultimate betrayal - murder. Narrated from the perspective of the victims and featuring dramatic reconstructions, this series reveals how these devastating cases unfolded. The shocking murder of beautiful actress Pasinetta Prince by an obsessive and controlling ex-lover and waitress Corey Parker's death at the hands of her neighbour are amongst the chilling cases this season. Nothing is as it seems in these tragic and shocking cases of betrayal; and what the victims don't realise is the decisions they make lead them to a tragic end.

Coming Up In April 2019 On TLC Africa

Counting On
From Monday 1 April at 21:00
The lives of the next generation of Duggars are full of surprises, emotion and milestone moments - and this series is following them every step of the way!

Will the Duggars be counting even more babies this series?

While You Were Out
From Wednesday 10 April at 20:00
Everyone has a dream project for his or her home, most of which never get done - until now. Whether it's an idea for inside the house in the basement, bedroom, kitchen, or den, or even in the yard, this series sees those renovation dreams come true. In each episode two neighbours send their significant others away on a three-day trip. While they are away, a pair of designers and a crack team of renovators descend on each house and help the homeowners completely makeover a room to surprise their loved one upon their return. Working against the clock, the team battle to finish the work on schedule; will they complete their transformations on time, and most importantly of all, will the homeowners' vision impress their loved-ones?

Little People, Big World
From Tuesday 23 April at 20:00

Meanwhile, after dating for almost a year, Amy is hoping to integrate her boyfriend Chris more into her family's lives. Matt's relationship with Caryn grows stronger by the day, but tensions build with Amy as he struggles to maintain a working relationship with her. And, sport is on the agenda as Zach prepares to compete in the World Dwarf Games! But has he made a mistake leaving Tori on her own for the first time as a mother?

Say Yes To The Dress UK
From Sunday 28 April at 18:10
Royal wedding dress designer, David Emanuel, is ready to work his fashionista magic on the Confetti & Lace bridal store in Essex, England, as he and the consultants help brides find their dream gowns. Every appointment has its challenges. There's the picky bride for whom nothing is good enough, the mum who wants to live vicariously through her daughter, the entourage who think they know better than the bride herself; the brother who's paying for the dress and wants to have input, or the bride who wants to show off a little more than her friends and family would like. Whatever the story, there are always laughs and drama to be had in this high-stakes environment. Will they leave the shop satisfied or even more confused?

He wants to reconnect with his grandfather John's history; having served in the air force there during WWII, he never wanted to discuss it when he was alive. And, as Parker learns about the gold rush history of the country, which attracted prospectors from the Klondike, he follows in the footsteps of one of the greatest explorers and prospectors of the 20th century, Mick Leahy, and learns the local mining techniques that make the present-day gold rush thrive in this stunning Pacific country.

Wheeler Dealers
From Saturday 20 April at 21:00

He then hands them over to Ant, who tackles everything from bare metal re-sprays to gearbox swaps to bring them back to their former glory. From the sunny beaches of southern California to the coldest edges of Maine, the series scours the US from coast-to-coast for the best vehicles to buy, restore, test and sell for a tidy profit. What treasures will the guys find and flip on their epic adventures?

NBCUniversal International Networks Acquires Gripping Legal Drama Proven Innocent For UNIVERSAL TV In The UK And Africa

NBCUniversal International Networks (NBCUIN) announced the acquisition of Proven Innocent, licensed from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution, to premiere on UNIVERSAL TV (DStv channel 117) – NBCUIN’s general entertainment channel – in the UK and Africa. This new legal series tells the emotional story of one woman’s fight for the innocence of others, as well as her own. Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Danny Strong Productions, the 13 one-hour episodes will premiere in the UK and Africa, on UNIVERSAL TV (DStv channel 117) from Monday, 11 March 2019 at 20:00 CAT.

Proven Innocent follows an underdog criminal defence firm led by Madeline Scott, played by Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, A Gifted Man), a fierce and uncompromising lawyer with a hunger for justice. There is no one who understands the power of setting an innocent person free more than Madeline. At age 18, she was wrongfully convicted, along with her brother, Levi Scott, played by Riley Smith (Frequency), in a sensational murder case that made her an infamous media obsession, a household name and a national cause célèbre.

Madeline runs the firm with her partner, Easy Boudreau, played by Russell Hornsby, (Seven Seconds, Grimm), the very lawyer who helped set her free after 10 years in prison. Proven Innocent also stars Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) as investigator Bodie Quick; and Tony Award-winner Nikki M. James (BrainDead, The Good Wife, The Book of Mormon), as communications director Violet Bell who runs a true-crime podcast that follows each investigation.

While a hero and a victim to some, Madeline’s bold and bullish tactics earn her a number of enemies – especially Gore Bellows, played by Emmy Award and Golden Globe-winner Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers, Boss), the prosecutor who initially put her away and still believes in her guilt. Despite Bellows’ ceaseless quest to see her behind bars again, Madeline will continue to defend others, even as she fights to maintain her innocence and searches for the real killer in her own case.

“Proven Innocent is an emotional legal drama with justice at the heart,” commented Lee Raftery, Managing Director UK & Emerging Markets and Chief Marketing & Content Officer, NBCUniversal International. “UNIVERSAL TV viewers will be instantly gripped by the strong characters played by Rachelle Lefevre, cast in the role of hero and victim, standing boldly up against hard-as-nails attorney played by award-winning Kelsey Grammer.  The subject matter is intriguing and will make exciting TV to watch.”

“We’re delighted that Proven Innocent will be on UNIVERSAL TV in the UK and Africa,”David Smyth, Senior Vice President of Sales and UK Managing Director, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution. “Viewers are certain to be captivated by this unique new courtroom drama with a standout cast, led by Rachel Lefevre and Kelsey Grammer.”

Proven Innocent is produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Danny Strong Productions. The pilot is written by David Elliot. Strong, Elliot and Stacy Greenberg are executive producers. Adam Armus is an executive producer and showrunner.
