[Theepistle] BBC TV series _Hustle_

[Ian Dickerson]

Complete coincidence.

It's just that with the likes of Hustle and Burn Notice high concept shows
like this are back in fashion.

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?
