If any broadcasters are out there reading this, i'm open to offers and fairly cheap.

There's always a risk of Channel 4 changing their line up when publishing a schedule on a Wednesday; unfortunately I was out until late last night and didn't want to wait until today.

I'll void The Last Leg when the time comes and Botched Up Bodies will become a main.
