Tony Head has revealed the latest developments in the ongoing saga of the Ripper TV series.

"I talked to Joss," told the Western Daily Press. "[and] he said that instead of getting himself committed to another hour-long detective show like Angel, he'd rather do a two-hour movie.

"It would look in depth into the character more. He's interested in Giles' character. It could be a one-off, and if anybody liked it, they'd go from there. At the moment, that's what I'm looking at. It makes more sense all round and I know the BBC are still up for it."

Head, currently starring in comedy Manchild on BBC2, has also landed a part in a film with singer Charlotte Church.

"It's called I'll Be There," said Tony. "It's by a friend of mine called Craig Ferguson. In this - which he also directed and wrote - he plays a rock and roll star who is disenchanted with life. And I play his rather unpleasant manager."

Describing Church as, "absolutely enchanting," the actor had high hopes for his co-star. "I certainly hope it's the beginning of a screen career for her, because she was really good."

That would be cool too!

Does anybody know when "manchild" airs?
 
Well it's better than Joss not doing it all together. I'd rather have an awesome two-hour movie, than 6 episodes that he can't completely commit to. Thanks for the news, desolate_soul.🙂 When's this new movie supposed to come out? Did they start filming yet?
 
WOW!!! Film would be much better than a one off!!!
I cant wait!!!

In the UK it airs at 10pm every Tuesday night on BBC 2. Hope that helps
 
would someone be so kind as to tape a few eps of manchild for me so i can see this work, we don't get it here in aussie probably never will. And as for the movie, great, I think it's a good idea.
