King of Diamonds is a TV drama series directed by Paul Eilers in 1982 under the production company, Eilers Films.
Broadcast history in South Africa
King of Diamonds was proposed for production by Dirk de Villiers before being directed by Paul Eilers in 1982. The series was filmed in Kimberley and set in the diamond mines.
The novelty of this production was that its cast and crew were made up of members who volunteered to participate following auditions from the local community, rather than trained actors.
