Discovery to review whether Oscar Pistorius footage filmed in 2012 will remain in an episode of the third series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible.


Discovery tells TV with Thinus it will review whether to leave in or cut the appearance of Oscar Pistorius from a new episode in the new upcoming third season of the magician Dynamo's TV show Dynamo: Magician Impossible which was filmed at the end of last year in South Africa.

The third season of Dynamo: Magician Impossible is set to start within months on The Discovery Channel (DStv 121) and the amazing magician filmed various scenes in and around South Africa such as in Johannesburg and Cape Town for inclusion in the new series.

The interaction between Dynamo (Steven Frayne) and Oscar Pistorius was filmed in November 2012 before Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentines Day, 14 February 2013. 

Oscar Pistorius was arrested and accused of premeditated murder and the paralympic athlete is currently embroiled in a sensational court trial.

"Dynamo filmed a scene with Oscar Pistorius last year while on location in South Africa for the third series. We will review the final program before making a decision about its broadcast later this year," says Lee Hobbs, the channel director for emerging business for Discovery Networks for the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA) region.
