Programming note: Doctors without borders coming to M-Net Series from September with the new medical jungle drama Off the Map.


You're reading it here first.

It will be doctors without borders from September as M-Net's secured the broadcasting rights for the series Off the Map and assigned the new single season show to M-Net Series (DStv 110). There will be 13 episodes in this ''Grey's Anatomy in the exotic jungle''.

Off the Map that was good but suffered from a bad timeslot in America and was canceled in May is by Shonda Rhimes who's behind Grey's Anatomy. Off the Map (filmed in Hawaii where Lost was) is set in a remote South American jungle where a collection of seven doctors are saving lives and trying to rebuild their own in a ''Seattle Grace meets South American rain forest'' way. Medical emergencies involve fallen helicopters, anacondas and exotic animals bites and attacks and things like paragliding accidents.

I can exclusively reveal that Off the Map will start on M-Net Series on Wedneday 21 September at 21:30.
