Interviews | Cynthia Bergstrom
De-tweeding the Watcher

Picture Were you responsible for getting Giles out of tweed?

Tony came to me and said that he wanted to try some other things, so I went to Joss and I said, "Can we try some other things? Can we get him out of a tweed?"

At the time Joss said he wanted to keep Giles in tweed, but as Giles's character changed and pulled away from being the school librarian Watcher, I was able to incorporate a few sweaters with jeans, and then shirts.

Then, when he became the owner of the Magic Box, it made perfect sense to change him and have him start wearing more fashionable suits. So it was really Tony who started it and then it evolved from there.
