BREAKING. SABC2 set to take a Quantum Leap from June.


You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively reveal that SABC2 has acquired the broadcasting rights for the 90's sci-fi drama Quantum Leap with Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell which South African viewers will get to see from June on SABC2 three nights a week.

Quantum Leap - shown in South African but ditched halfway by the defunct CCV TV channel, and  also had an airing on DStv's The Series Channel (now M-Net Series) - will be running three nights a week - Tuesdays until Thursdays - at 23:00 on SABC2 from June. In this sci-fi time travel tale Scott Bakula plays dr. Sam Beckett who ''leaps'' from the future weekly into the body of a specific character in the past and has to figure out who he is and what he has to ''set right'', constantly hoping that the next leap would ''be the leap home''.
