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 大象传媒 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!
