SABC3 has acquired the broadcasting rights to the new (and just canceled) superhero drama series The Cape that it plans to broadcast from Wednesday 20 April at 19:30 - the only problem is that I can tell you it won't actually happen.
TV with Thinus can reveal that again videotape arrival delay is going to cause the postponement of this new drama series, similar to Survivor Gabon and Oprah the past 4 months which SABC3 also had to postpone and NCIS and The Mo'nique Show on SABC2 for the same reasons.
According to sources SABC3 scheduled The Cape to start on 20 April but it's highly doubtful that the video cassettes will arrive at Auckland Park's programme acceptance department from overseas by then. ''Not likely to happen,'' a source told me. ''The Cape is on [SABC3], but it will likely have to be pushed out to a little bit later. It's two weeks to air and the tapes are not here yet,'' says another.
There's 10 episodes of The Cape that revolves around policeman Vince Faraday who has to go into hiding (but still loves his family and son) in Palm City when he stumbles upon a circus where he gets a cloak with superpowers.
