[Theepistle] Saintly Glamour

[Ian Dickerson]

Also in America there is Leverage--just commissioned for a third season--and
Burn Notice, both of which have a certain Saintliness to them.

Hey, what about "fun"?  A bit of escapist amusement ought to be the
lifeblood of TV entertainment drama?

In the UK, we have had several series of _Hustle_ - not a repackaged
_Saint_, but sharing at least some characteristics?

Some info at:
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle/welcome.shtml>  Theme: "you can't con an
honest man".

If _Hustle_ can be a success, and maintain a following over several years,
there _ought_ to be plenty of scope for a _Saint_ series to be commissioned,
PROVIDING it stayed close to Charteris's characterisation and style.
