Ripper

Joss Whedon talked to EW.com briefly about "Ripper" based on Giels from Buffy the Vampier Slayer for the BBC staring Anthony Stewart Head:
And what about Ripper — is that going to hit BBC America?
It's BBC [right now], in England. It's still being worked out. The character is still part of the Buffy franchise that Fox owns. We want to make sure that everybody gets respected. And everything is contingent on the script. I have an outline, but I don't have a script yet.
Anthony Stewart Head (who plays Giles) is willing to wait?
Yeah, Tony and I had dinner and he's like, ''Oh yeah, I hate this idea!'' I pitched him the story — he's heard some of it before. But a story point [finally] fell into place. For years, I hadn't been able to figure it out. Let's just say something very bad is happening, and I couldn't figure out why.
