Critical acclaim, cartoons and Eddie Izzard.
David Todd: Do you feel that the Buffy production team get credit that they are due in the industry? I am thinking of episodes like Hush and The Body.
I think that we get a lot of critical love and praise. I don’t think that we’ll ever get the recognition from the Hollywood establishment, from the Emmys or from any of the larger awards, because we’re too genre and genre shows aren’t considered worthy for that sort of lauding.
Alex: Will there ever be another Buffy movie?
There’s talk. I think that, if it does happen it will be years from now after Joss, and after Sarah, have had time to do other projects.
Leanne C: Is Sarah Michelle Gellar going to be the voice of Buffy in the cartoons?
Yes, all the actors are doing their own voices.
Host: Will you be writing for that as well?
I don’t know. Most of the writers on the show have written episodes for the animated. I haven’t, just because of the other projects I’ve been working on.
Tony Pressley: Does a character leaving the programme cause problems, or does it give you more creative energy?
Well, for instance when Oz left we were all in despair, but in fact that opened up the door for the relationship with Tara, and for Willow’s sort of advanced practice of magic, which is becoming very key to this year’s storyline. So as one door closes another door opens.
Dave: You are quoted in an interview that you would like Eddie Izzard to appear in the show. Any joy?
Well, Tony Head was on an airplane with Eddie and apparently asked him if he would come on the show and Eddie said "Sure." But that was the last we heard of it. I’m an incredible fan, I’m totally, completely in awe of him, so it would be a dream come through. Maybe some day.
