E! Entertainment developing Shoreline and Gallerina as a further 2 brand-new drama series for 2013.

E! Entertainment (DStv 124) is continuing the massive overhaul of the general entertainment TV channel to a radically more scripted programming television channel and is adding another two new possible TV dramas to its development plans.

Following the massive number of brand new dramas and sitcoms E! Entertainment announced in May this year the channel will start make pilot episodes of and which might become TV series in 2013, E! Entertainment also commissioned a brand-new supernatural, romantic drama about a dead entertainment lawyer in New York looking for love earlier this month, also for 2013.

Now E! Entertainment is adding yet another two new drama shows.

Gallerina will be a new hour long art gallery drama on E! Entertainment about a young woman trying to make it at Bettencourt Gallery, the centre of Los Angeles' art scene.

The young woman has to deal not only with her iconic and famous mother in whose shadow she lives, but also the womanising art gallery owner and the fake and real art world players and artists inhabiting the elite sphere in which she lives her life.

Shoreline is yet another new drama series in development at E! Entertainment.

Shoreline will revolve around a main character who returns home to see that a major Hollywood primetime soap, The Shore Line Yacht Club, has taken over the small town with the scale of the TV production and is starting to change the nature of the townspeople while a big gap exists between the glitzy producers and cast, and the ordinary inhabitants of the small coastal town in South Carolina.

BREAKING. Shoreline and SABC3 guilty of contravening the broadcasting code after likening Christian communion with cannibalism.

You're reading it here first. 

Shoreline and SABC3 has been reprimanded by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) after the documentary show about South Africa's coastline has been found guilty of contravening the broadcasting code by having a presenter likening the Christian sacrament of communion with cannibalism.

In an episode of Shoreline broadcast on Sunday 21 October at 18:00 Gavin Whitelaw made comments which prompted complaints to the BCCSA.

The SABC admitted before the BCCSA that "the way in which the presenter juxtaposed real cannibalism with communion made no clear reference to symbolism and in this he may have unwittingly caused offense to some Christians."

Shoreline, produced by Homebrew Films, and SABC3 will remove the offending passage from all rebroadcasts in future.

"The comment of the presenter in the programme under discussion, that Communion amounts to cannibalism, although made bona fide, is regarded as untrue of a crucial aspect of Christian religion," the BCCSA says in its judgement.

"In the light of the fact that the error clearly amounted to a bona fide, though negligent, error, and because of the steps taken by the SABC, we believe that a reprimand will suffice in the present instance," says the BCCSA in the judgement.

Programming note: Second season of Shoreline starting on SABC3 on Sunday 9 September at 18:00 for 13 episodes.

The second season of Shoreline produced by Homebrew Films will start on SABC3 on Sunday 9 September at 18:00. The second season has 13 episodes.

The quality local South African documentary series well-liked by viewers and praised by critics had its first season on SABC2.

The SABC then reallocated Shoreline to SABC3 but wanted the show rebooted from the beginning by commissioning an all English first season which necessitated reshooting and reediting of scenes; followed soon by the new second season which will start showing soon.
