SABC3 promises the correct new episode of ReGenesis on Wednesday at 22:00 after mistakenly repeating episode 3 twice.

It's not deoxyribo nucleio science but SABC3 made a mistake last week by repeating and showing the exact same episode three of sci-fi drama ReGenesis - the broadcaster tells TV with Thinus it will definitely show the correct new episode 4 on Wednesday at 22:00.

Viewers were fuming last week after SABC3 showed the same episode of ReGenesis again. One viewer for instance asked me if SABC3 could please say what measures they have in place to ensure that the correct episode of a programme airs.

"You might ask them why they bother to have a social media platform as they never respond to correspondence".

I asked and SABC3's programme acceptance department was initially adamant last week that the "correct" new episode was shown, but is now saying, yes, SABC3 made a mistake with ReGenesis.

According to the channel episode 3 of ReGenesis was repeated due to confusion with The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra concert SABC3 had.

SABC3 acquires and adds first season of Canadian sci-fi drama ReGenesis; starting Wednesday 21 May at 22:00.

SABC3 has acquired and is adding to the schedule the first season of the Canadian science fiction drama, Regenesis, set to start on Wednesday, 21 May at 22:00 for 13 episodes first broadcast in 2004 and 2005.

ReGenesis lasted 4 seasons.

The clever show which was well-received, revolves around scientists working for the North America Biotechnology Advisory Commission (NorBAC) and its one laboratory in Toronto, Canada where they deal with various virusses, strange mutations, bio-terrorism and mysterious diseases afflicting mankind - as well as themselves.

The scientifically-sounding David Sandström (of the Daysöm Institute just kidding) is the leader and chief scientist and molecular biologist, and is played by Peter Outerbridge.

One character is a lead virologist, one is a genius with an IQ of 162 (and a secret) and one will be revealed to be gay halfway through the first episode (trying to find a cure for Aids).

ReGenesis' cast gets shaken up with some changes from the second season, but its not yet clear whether SABC3 will show further seasons, for now the first season is great to watch and follow and to introduce South African TV viewers to a whole new TV series.
