From popbitch:

There have been a couple of articles in the Australian press today almost exactly the same as:

This is the Daily Star article that they all seem to have picked up:

holy crap! i didn’t think it was gonna happen. sweet! And i’m excited since i get bbc now.

Seems like the gap for quality stories is finally being recgnized.  I don’t the resurrgence of Buffy/Angel/Ripper are a coincidence!

It’s so nice to have something to look forward to for a change!  Can’t wait to see how Ripper turns out.  Wonder how long before we can see it in the states.

Sorry to say I read something recently about Anthony saying it’s something he and Joss talk about from time to time but that there is no plan at this time to do the show.
