Prime Suspect with monsters

Picture Writing for Ripper, scaring people and final words.

George C: What will be the focus of the Giles show, Ripper?

The Giles show - I think - is going to be a little more adult. It�s going to be a little more like Prime Suspect with monsters. And I think there�ll be more ghosts. Just because that�s sort of British.

Jonny Ramone: Will you be working on Ripper?

I would love to. I�m actually eligible for dual citizenship. My father was born in Britain so my brother has worked in London and I know I can get a work permit. So, we�ve talked about it, we�ve talked about giving me a shot.

Tony Pressley: Will any of the other Buffy regulars appear in Ripper?

I think there would be some cross-over, I think it would primarily be a new cast, but you will definitely see, time and work permits and technicalities permitting, you�d see guests from the Buffy world for sure.

James Stead: Who�s the most annoying writer on the show?

Me.

Xander4Anya: What is your view on the way that episodes of Buffy are available for download on websites?

I think it�s a reality, now that this technology is available. I don�t know how many people actually avail themselves of that at this point. If it ever cut into my residuals, I�d have an opinion.

Lucy: Do you enjoy scaring people in scripts?

Absolutely. I want to make people feel the extreme of every emotion. As a writer your greatest hope is that you either make someone laugh, cry or shout. So that�s the goal.

Host: Would you like to say a few final words to everyone who logged on tonight?

I just want to thank all the fans, particularly fans through the BBC for all their tremendous support. We get such a strong reaction from British fans, and we just feel very gratified. We love you people too!
