- The Apprentice Africa is the African version of the successful television series The Apprentice by Mark Burnett Productions starring Donald Trump. His role was taken by Biodun Shobanjo who runs a network of businesses in Nigeria, principally advertising. The show took 18 contestants from all over English-speaking Africa (excluding South Africa) and was broadcast in Kenya (KTN), Ghana (TV3), Uganda (WBS) and Tanzania (TBC1). The series ran for 18 episodes and proved very popular, the eventual winner being Isaac Dankyi-Koranteng from Ghana.
- "Towser is smart (but not too smart). Towser is brave (well, resourceful anyway)...". Towser is a sweet tenacious terrier created by prolific artist and author Tony Ross. He was brought into animated life with the help of the equally prolific David McKee and King Rollo Films - Mr McKee being the creator of Mr. Benn, of course. Towser dwelled in a semi-medieval world, where there were castles and all the expected chivalrous characters and furnishings yet there were also comfy armchairs and suitcases and modern accouterments. A seemingly odd mix then, but it all gels perfectly and each tiny tale features a little pinch of irony, a tiny twist to savour. Towser's close pals include a king known only as The King, a cat called Sadie and The Owl, and his esoteric adventures introduced us to the likes of The Terrible Thing, Dr. Smelly, Goblin Gobble, The Lion, Captain Rat, Sir Lance, The Witch, an alien, and most bizarrely of all, a strange blue beaky-bird called Nosey Parker. Towser is noticeable for having been narrated by the late actor Roy Kinnear.
