Dr Brad Schaeffer and Dr Ebonie Vincent are back helping patients and giving them back hope in My Feet Are Killing Me Season 2, while Peter Walsh, Cherie Barber and Lucas Callaghan are helping turn clutter and chaos zones back into warm family home in Space Invaders Season 1. And there are more stories of people who’ve dedicated their lives to helping others in the adorable Secrets of The Zoo: Tampa Season 2, which will get the whole family cuddled up around the TV together.

But if you want to spook someone into snuggling up with you, you can find spooks, spirits, hauntings and horror in Scariest Night of My Life Season 1. Brr!

My Feet Are Killing Me Season 2

Dr Brad Schaeffer and Dr Ebonie Vincent are putting their patients back on their feet. Brad has a patient with big toes so long it looks as if her feet are hitchhiking, Ebonie has a patient whose feet look like hooves, and there’s more drama to come with feet split down the middle, growths, extra toes, missing toes, ballet feet, pasta-shaped toenails, extreme calluses, itchy feet, and stinky issues. Above all there’s hope, as the doctors counsel, comfort and get to work.

Watch My Feet Are Killing Me Season 2 from Friday, 13 May at 20:00 on TLC (DStv Channel 135).

The Vets and animal care experts at ZooTampa take us behind the scenes to show us the daily tasks involved in caring for exotic animals. This season, we’ll follow a pregnant rhino’s journey to motherhood, a young zebra who does not want his vet check-up, panther kittens out exploring, and penguin eggs hatching and more.

Space Invaders Season 1

No matter how much you clean, does your house look messy again just minutes later? In this Australian home makeover series, presenters Peter Walsh, Cherie Barber and Lucas Callaghan have 3 goals: organise and declutter, renovate, and find treasures amidst the chaos. Along the way, we’ll learn family stories about special objects and see how the Space Invaders team spotlights them in the newly tidy home. The end result is so deeply satisfying and relaxing that it’s the perfect wind-down show.
