Look who's back! Beloved by generations of TV viewers who grew up as television grew up in South Africa, TopTV is turning on the nostalgia tap big time by bringing back South African TV classics such as Wielie Walie, Interster and many more.
TopTV which is launching today in South Africa as the new pay TV operator - the first since MultiChoice started DStv 15 years ago - has in its bouquet of 52 TV channels Top One (TopTV 150) (see how Top One is looking HERE) and Top Junior (TopTV 250).
TopTV has culled the SABC's TV archives and will now broadcast top and iconic shows from South Africa's heydeys, but only brought TV shows which have stood the test of time beautifully. Wielie Walie, the kids show with a sea monster named Sarel Seemonster and a know-better crow, Karel Kraai is back. Also back on South African TV screens is the ground-breaking South African produced science fiction puppet show Interster, which was light years ahead of anything else at the time in the world regarding TV puppet artistry and animatronics.
