I for one can't wait to see Anthony Head in his own programme. I'm hoping it will be good and maybe show him in a different light.

Yeah agree with you there Annette....wish I could get down and get his autograph...that would be cool too!

It would be wonderful if the BBC channel here showed Manchild. It sounds a hoot.

Cheers,

Manchild? Whats that Mything? Is that what the new programme is going to be called?

Manchild is a new series that has Tony Head in it. Here's a blurb for it.

New comedy starring Nigel Havers and Anthony Head, about a group of middle-aged men determined to live life to the full. An embarrassing climax to a date cause James to seek medical help.

Ripper is the one where he plays Giles and is supposed to start in September 2002 ... supposed to start.

Here's some inside info from ASH, himself, about Ripper:

- "Ripper" is delayed because Joss is doing the sci-fi "Firefly" first, partly because he needs to make FOX happy, so they will support "Ripper".

- Although it requires a lot of cooperation between FOX and the BBC, and the BBC suffered a major burn by the US version of "Dr. Who" [ain't that the truth!], ASH says that the BBC is prepared to "wait until doomsday" for Ripper. [Hope we don't really have to!]

------------

Word from another source is that the Buffy cartoon show is also being delayed in favor of "Firefly".
