[THE_EPISTLE] new series

--i don't know.  I still think that Burl Barer's book would make a good Saint TV movie partly because it harkens back to the young Saint, features the middle-aged Saint and brings everything up to modern times.  It could also provide jobs for 2, yes 2, actors to play "the Saint."

I would like to present them as a "Young Templar Series" (like Young Bond by Charlie Higson) but I'm sure who has the Saint rights cannot give me the permission... So maybe I will present them with another title. I'll see.
