Wait for the disaster that A League of Their Own will be on Ten tonight.
Might get a few people for the first ep, but will tank faster than a Ben Elton show.

The problem at Ten is with its CEO, Chairman and Board. Until there is a clear out at this level and a few people put in with deep television skills Ten will not be able to reinvent itself for a prime time audience. Perhaps it is time for some prominent share holders and Board members to cut their losses and move on. They wouldn’t be the first to have done so at Ten over the past 40 years.
