Ripper - Giles could still get own show

“Ripper,” a Rupert Giles-centric BBC project Joss Whedon has been talking about since the fifth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” may yet manifest.

 

Speaking at a Dark Horse Comic Con event in San Diego Saturday, Whedon says he now hopes to launch “Ripper” as a 90-minute BBC movie in 2008.

 

In the current Whedon-masterminded "Buffy: Season Eight" comic-book series, Giles is busy training a platoon of vampire slayers. Hopefully the new project will acknowledge this?

probably make a 2 second start off from what the comics are at and then he'll stroll down memory lane about his *interesting* childhood

Woohoo!  I hope that happens.  I always wanted to hear all the crazy stories about Ripper.
