Channel 268 
A half hour drama about love, sex and relationships in Johannesburg.
Mondays at 10pm and Sundays at 10.30pm
Series 2: Coming soon!
The central universe for our drama series is a hair-dressing salon on Jan Smuts avenue, run by single mother Unathi. Here, we meet her and her four college friends – Lusanda, Sophie, Layton and Gugu. From different worlds, they met while studying PR and Marketing at a college in Johannesburg and while they have gone their different ways, and now 30, they still have a strong bond.
Lusanda is unhappily married to a wealthy philanderer. With two young children, private school fees, a BMW and a townhouse in Sandton, she feels trapped in her marriage – frightened to leave it and frightened to be in it too. Layton is single and ambitious with a reasonable job in a PR. She hides her loneliness behind work and clothes. Sophie is trying to be a singer and deeply enmeshed in a world of too much alcohol, too many drugs and far too many men for her own safety. Gugu is stuck in the same home she grew up in Chiawelo, unemployed, and seemingly without any prospects of ever getting out. Essentially, they all want the same thing. Love. Lots of it. Deep and fulfilling love.
How they get it, or not, is the subject of this drama series 4Play: Sex Tips for Girls.
Mondays at 10pm and Sundays at 10.30pm

i love this show too… it is soo close to reality and so current!! well done guys and keep the show going.
This is the best show from SA that I watch religiously from Africa here in the UK. I love it to bits. Keep up the good work. Far much better than those Naija movies.
I just can’t get enough of this serial, it is brilliant so true to real life..Girls keep up the great work.
Thanks for the compliments and support. Delighted you’re all enjoying the show. And you’re right – women writers and women directors. We know these stories because we’ve lived them! A new (3rd) series has just been finished and will broadcast in SA this year. Keep watching.
Hi Minky – can you keep us informed of date/time when the 3rd series will be televised in the UK – if possible on this page? I continually keep track of what comments have been posted on the page. My friends have also started wathcing the repeat episodes. Can’t wait for the next episodes. Thanks
Hi there, I am also soooo in love with this show. I am a bit upset i missed last week’s episodes, was hoping to catch up on it online…but it seems no chance??
Hi Kate – sorry but at this point I can’t say when season 3 will broadcast in the UK. It premieres locally on Tuesday 1st May and will run for 13 episodes. My best suggestion is to keep a close watch out on the TV guides. So glad you and your friends like the show. Definitely one to watch with your girls!
