[Theepistle] BBC TV series _Hustle_

[Peter Ogden]

Leverage is produced in he States for and by TNT (Turner Network
Television). Three or four years ago TNT announced that they would be
showing a Saint TV program, sometime in the future, When this didn't
materialize, Leverage did.  Coincidence or not?
