BUFFY LEAVES HEAD IN A SPIN
|
LITTLE Britain star Anthony Head says he still wants to return to the role in Buffy that gave him international fame.
Head played the vampire slayer's mentor Rupert Giles for seven years in the cult series, but since the show finished he's found new fame as the Prime Minister in the smash hit comedy series.
But plans for a spin-off from Buffy, featuring his character, continue to circulate and Head, speaking as he promoted his role in the new video game Destroy All Humans 2, told Mirror.co.uk he'd jump at the chance to play the character once more.

'Buffy' star laughs off return to Sunnydale
|
Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has laughed off a potential return to Sunnydale.
Citing her age as the stumbling block for reuniting with her old 'Scooby Gang', the 30-year-old actress told The Independent: "Oh, God, I'll be in a walker. And Buffy will be killing people with her cane."
However, she then offered a glimmer of hope to fans of the cult show, which ran for seven seasons. "It's not in my immediate future, but stranger things have happened," admitted Gellar.
Since Buffy drew to a close in 2003, several spin-offs have been rumoured to be in development. Anthony Head, who played librarian Rupert Giles, told the Mirror this week that he would 'jump at the chance' to reprise the character.
The Observer previously reported in 2001 that the BBC were developing a series called The Watcher based around Giles' further adventures, but this never came to fruition.
Rumours of Spike television movies starring James Marsters as the Cockney vampire also continue to persist. But actress Alyson Hannigan scotched rumours of a Willow spin-off earlier this year when she told Sci Fi Wire that “I think I would just be too scared to sort of go back and possibly tarnish it in any way.”
Buffy did manage to launch one successful companion show in the form of Angel. The David Boreanaz-starring series ran for five seasons until being axed in 2004.

Anthony Head Confirmed For Destroy All Humans! 2
|
Buffy's Giles, Little Britain's PM, or the bat-like headmaster from Doctor Who - wherever you know him from, he'll also be in Pandemic's sequel...
THQ has today confirmed that Anthony Head, who has featured in a number of TV shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Little Britain, will be providing the voice of MI5 head Ponsonby in the forthcoming Destroy All Humans! 2.
The game, which is set in the swinging sixties, sees Head's character help Crypto battle against the Soviet Secret Police, the KGB...but is he all that he seems?
"When we were presented with the character Ponsonby, we needed a voice that created an extra dimension and enhanced his upper-class Englishness but hinted at a touch of deceit. Anthony Head has a wealth of acting experience and was the obvious choice. He brought Ponsonby alive in a very unique way," commented Richard Williams, Director of Marketing, THQ (UK).
Destroy All Humans! 2 is set to be released on Xbox and PlayStation2 later in the Autumn; we'll have more news shortly.
