Carte Blanche burst onto South African television screens in 1988. Offering a blend of sociological awareness, sophistication and audacity, the show immediately became a trailblazer. M-Net’s weekly eye-opener regularly pushed the envelope, ushering in an era of freedom and creativity and ending a period in which television news and current affairs were the sole domain of the state broadcaster. Twenty-five years on, Carte Blanche remains a Sunday-night institution, one that consistently resists the mundane and stimulates debate, telling stories of delight and daring, of cheek and chutzpah, of heartbreak and heroism, and asking questions to which we all want to know the answers.
The show’s dedication to the truth has enabled us all to chase car thieves across our borders, catch out unscrupulous mechanics and find out what security guards and plumbers do, or don’t do, in our homes. It has brought to our screens a host of unforgettable characters, from the transsexuals of Beaufort West and the controversial directors of Aurora to the predators who lurk on dating websites and some of rugby’s best-known rogues. Carte Blanche: The Stories Behind the Stories is an unabashed look at what goes on behind the scenes of the nation’s longest-running current affairs show and reveals some of the passionate and colourful characters involved in its production over the past quarter of a century.
