You're seeing the complete sets set here first.
Yesterday I was first RIGHT HERE to show you the complete and beautiful hospital section of the new Binneland Sub Judice sets as they've been rebuild and constructed at Stark Studios and that viewers will see from Monday, 5 April at 18:00 on M-Net.
Of course the new name of the weekday M-Net soapie means that there's a whole new legal part that's being incorporated into the show - the offices and legal environment centered around RPK Incorporated: the law office of Rossouw, Paulse and Knight Incorporated, the restaurant, Pretoria open air plaza, as well as jewellery shop and other walkthrough spaces around that.

This is the reception desk and entrance to the new law firm RPK Incorporated that will feature from Monday, 5 April at 18:00 in Binneland Sub Judice. Production design wise the look and feel of the law office is very much the ''heavy'' but not depressing, ''formal'' but not overbearing Pretoria type law offices that you'd find in Pretoria today - very modern in their functionality, but inhabiting law offices actually built at the turn of the previous century - dark and solid woods, big door frames, solid window frames and lots of oak and mahogany.
The law firm's mail filing and courier corner where postal items are dropped off and sorted. Expect a lot of scenes and hurried interaction between various characters here situated right next to what will be a ''busy'' corridor.
A brand-new open area, reminiscent of Pretoria's open air piazza type restaurant and coffee shop areas. This new restaurant with a new restaurant owner (with his own set of troubles) will start to feature quite prominently in Binneland Sub Judice and be a new hang-out place of the various lawyers and attorneys in the show.
The size and scale of this new ''open air'' walk through for Binneland Sub Judice for a South African TV set is truly astounding. It's massive. It will make it possible for the producers to do longer form conversations between characters as they ''stroll'' along this pathway with various shopfronts on the sides. Look at how long it is - as well as how wide it is. Very remarkable.
One of the windows that has a secret which I'll tell you about tomorrow. The rich wood and glass set in sandstone is a hallmark of this new section of the Binneland Sub Judice set design.
This new jewellery shop in the newly expanded Binneland Sub Judice universe, Morgan & Sons Jewellers, is in the walkway above, on the right hand side. But it's not really ''real'', meaning there's nobody really there . . . yet. Who knows, maybe in the future it could become a real part of the show with real characters. Currently it's just a fill-in and in fact a hollow store front. Very reminicent of course of the Barney Barnato type ''gold rush'' Johannesburg and Pretoria era.
Yes. Do you now see how outrageously massive all of this is? Do you now get a sense of how completely astounding the scale of the soapie's new legal extension is? Take a look at this corridor set within the law office. It's huge. And it's just a corridor. Lots of space for walking, drama and dialogue. Beautiful wood finishings and shiny wood varnish.
The offices of the law firm from the inside . . . meticulously designed and filled with detailed attention when it comes to set dressing and the use of props.
Law firm corridor . . .
