In the digital age we live in – where selfies
and doctored shots swamp our social media
- it’s wonderful to witness the making of
exceptional pieces of art for this event.
The annual Landscape Artist of the Year
puts up-and-coming painters in the spotlight.
And, if they’ve got what it takes, their work
could be hung in a major English gallery
or score a £10,000 (more than AU$17,000)
commission from a lucky bidder.
Presented by British TV personalities
Joan Bakewell and Frank Skinner (both
pictured), the competition is documented
over nine, one-hour episodes so viewers
can also enjoy a piece of the action.

As viewers get a front-row seat to the
shocking power struggles of the notorious
Mapogo lion coalition in South Africa, we
venture deep into the pride to bring you the
most fascinating facts about the majestic
creatures featured...
1
Leaders of the pack
The Mapogo pride (pictured) – made
up of five brothers and led by the powerful
newcomer Makhulu – ruthlessly rules over
Sabi Sand Game Reserve in the famed
Greater Kruger National Park. Their brutal
reign of terror has seen them kill more than
100 lions in one year, wiping out whole tribes
- a feat previously unheard of by experts.
2
Kill or be killed
A relentless quest for supremacy
among the tribe results in cub Mr T betraying
his brothers in the most unimaginable way
possible. You have to see it to believe it.

Eye-opening observation
This documentary was 16 years in the
making and weaves a vivid tale of violence,
bloodshed and betrayal within the animal
kingdom. The footage has shed light on the
extreme lengths the pack is willing to go to
in order to expand their territory.

Brothers in Blood:
Lions of Sabi Sand
WORDS: ERIN McWHIRTER; CAROLYN HIBLEN. PHOTOS: DISCOVERY CHANNEL; NBC UNIVERSALWhen the fifth season of reality series
Southern Charm returns this week, love
takes centrestage, with more make-ups,
break-ups and brutal rejections than the
best romance novel.
A dejected Shepard ‘Shep’ Rose
(pictured) is back on the Charleston
social scene and in hot demand
following his failed attempt at finding
love on spin-o show RelationShep.
However, still smarting over his very
public heartbreak, the eligible bachelor
can’t help but question whether he’s
cut out for the dating life after all. Can
Chelsea Meissner – who returns as
a fully-fledged cast member this time
around – help change his mind?
Elsewhere, Cameran Eubanks’ final
weeks of pregnancy and the subsequent
birth of daughter Palmer feature heavily.
But if you think that the new mum will
take a step back from all the drama once
her baby is born, think again!
With Craig Conover and Naomie Olindo
having parted ways since last season,
expect plenty of awkward encounters
as they struggle to find their footing as
friends in the all-too-small town.
