We heard it could be a nightmare filming at Torrance High School?

It depends whose version you hear. From an actor�s point of view, sometimes it�s tricky, particularly when the show starts to get known because there�s the kids hanging off balconies shouting "Hey Buffy, Buffy, Buffy," - that sort of thing.

On the other hand, the school was very helpful to us and things went basically fine there until the end of the third season when she was leaving High School and we blew up the High School.

Unfortunately, when we warned [the residents of Torrance] we were going to blow it up, we neglected to say when, and when it went up at five a.m. in the morning � Torrance is still upset with us actually, we�re back there next Friday and I�ve already heard of one phone call from some irate lady saying �You should be punished for what you did three years ago.�

From an actor�s point of view it was tricky, from our point of view it worked out quite well. We would give them money, needless to say. We refurbished all the seating in their auditorium, for instance, and we put benches out for them. We did a lot of things.

There was a caretaker in charge of the school who thought we were wonderful because we put him on our payroll. When we were there and he made everything work. So, from my point of view,it was a great location, from some of the actors, it was problematic.
