‘Buffy’ spin-off given go-ahead
‘The BBC and Fox will collaborate on a Buffy The Vampire Slayer spin-off starring Anthony Stewart Head entitled Ripper, according to a report.
The Daily Star quotes a source as saying that Buffy creator Joss Whedon is “keen to work with the BBC” and that “they’ve got the green light to start filming”.
According to the alleged insider, Ripper, which has been mooted since Buffy finished in 2003, “will follow Bufyy’s mentor Giles (Head) after he decides to come out of retirement in his native England to solve ghost stories and other mysteries”.’
