The post-edit glamarama look is sumptuous glamour television personified, but the constant behind-the-scenes travel drama on South African shows with a heavy international showcasing element such as Top Billing and Top Travel is anything but.
The never-ending travel arrangements, travelling, packing, and lugging around of suitcases for short periods of times between international airports, connecting flights and cities all over the world is anything but glamorous for the production crews and presenters of shows such as Top Travel and Top Billing on SABC3.
Top Travel presenter Jeannie D said on Wednesday evening's Top Travel episode what viewers already know, that "Top Billing and Top Travel always look incredibly glamorous. In reality we travel with quite a hefty team of four people. Our luggage is a monstrosity."
"Twelve pieces of luggage. That's a lot. That's the reality. That's how we actually travel from place to place," said Janez Vermeiren.
"It really isn't easy to travel, not at the best of times. But to travel as a production team is very, very difficult," he said.
