"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, even Angel has a shaky future, I think. It must be disheartening to start a season with three shows and now face a next season with none.

I'm fearful Joss would abandon TV and start that movie career he's so eager to start. 'Cuz, Buffy's on 22 times a year for 7 years. Movies - you might get one movie every other year from a director. That's not enough Joss for me.

Joss should stay in TV. I so want Firefly to stay or see him do something else. Not even that enthused about the 'toon. The BTVS/Angelverse is all worn out for me.

{edit: Angerverse?}

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

I suspect that while he has a movie itch, if for no other reason to wash his mouth of all his scripts that he has written that have been butchered, if you look at his writing style, you see that his strength seems the long form. Which means either miniseries or television.

So I can see him doing a few movies to get his pay up, and just to show that he can...

Joss, if I may be so bold, should get his ass over here and make my 'Ripper' series!

His Ripper series. ASH's Ripper series. Whatever. Just make the damn thing already!

I don't know if he is used to using the kind of budgets that British TV uses...

Am-Chau, do you know if BBC still has an open submission policy?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Towards Joss, a policy of open submission sounds only right and proper.

I think that the BBC has an open submission policy, period, in order to encourage citizens to submit....

He grew up in Britain part of his childhood so I think he's got a clue. Also Ripper didn't sound like it would need much in the way of special effects. It was going to be more mystery/psychological/dark than Buffy.
