In an interview by the British magazine Impact, as ricocheted to here via darkhorizons.com, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER's Anthony Stewart Head talked about the possibilities of a spin-off show for his character, Giles.


"The idea is to do one story per show," Head said. "I talked about the possibility of doing one one story over two or three, but logistically that would be hard to blend and monitor the writing. You can have background stuff continuing though, in terms of production values and the attention given to it. It was driven by personal themes at the core of the show. They are all in place. As soon as Joss said it, I knew it could happen. It'll all be down to revenue. How much can it generate? Will Fox be remotely interested in putting money into it? If not, will they license it to the BBC? Would it find its way back to America? All that would be logical, but it isn't always down to logic! On paper, it all seems to work well. But as I say to Joss 'Allow me to be the skeptic.' He's agreed...but I'm the one that really wants it to happen too"


Time will tell. Who knows, maybe UPN will want something to compete with ANGEL?
