Tony Head speaks to TV.com.
There's some info on what to expect about the next series of Merlin and the US version of Free Agents. And find out why the BBC thought online support for Buffy was a Rupert Murdoch scam and the craziest thing that a fan has done to get Tony's attention.

And regarding that "fan" in the end...all I can say is "Why??" Unless she'd planned on getting it tattooed later, it'd fade/disappear after a shower.
I remember one fan pretending to faint at his feet at Motor City Buffy - he was not amused. I think it made him rather uncomfortable, actually.
I can't wait to see "Free Agents"! The previews that were linked here a while back looked hysterical, and I hope it lasts a couple of years.

We think of online communities and fandom as natural now but when Buffy started, late nineties, the net was just reaching a critical mass and becoming vocal.
Re the BBC/Murdoch thing, I visited the BBC recently and what did they have on the tables in their reception? Copies of The Times, a Murdoch paper....

...for visitors to burn. Possibly.
(presumably the BBC thought it was a ruse to get them to keep a show that no-one actually liked ? Which would matter why ? If people are watching - and by BBC2's standards they certainly were - then what's the diff ? Bit paranoid if true)
And ASH talking sense again. Keep considering giving 'Merlin' another chance. First few didn't impress though.

(according to Andrew Neil among others 'The Sun' is an entirely different matter BTW, at least in the 80s and 90s)

"'The Sun' is an entirely different matter..."
In the sense that it's almost entirely fictional? ;)
