I'll have a full report later, but good news for
Buffy fans. Joss is currently in talks with the BBC and Mr. Anthony Stewart Head. Plans are almost a go for
RIPPER!
Ripper is the long-rumored story of Giles pre-
Buffy. Who knows what the plot will actually be, but Whedon reported here at Comic-Con - literally, like, five minutes ago - that negotiations are close to finished on a ninety minute BBC special -
Ripper.
