icafreak for transcribing it and for unflocking her post so we can all read it.
Pity the DVD's not available on Amazon.co.uk.

I see other people have already told you what they thought the interviewer was getting at
Yes, I already translated it, posted on my Russian diary and got a lot of squeees! :)))

Just in case - the interviewer, executive producer Jeffrey Berman, came to Dark Horse Spuffy thread
tttp://www.darkhorse.com/Help/Boards/viewtopic.php?t=12374&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=4425
and wrote, among other things:
As for Spike, hands down the coolest anit-hero on celluloid. I had the good fortune to meet James once and he was a really nice guy. Now be honest, wouldn't you really like to see Spike get his own series? Spike and Xander, on the road to Morocco.
Looks he's a Spander shipper :))))
He also asks who would we like to see him interview in the future DVDs and gives his e-mail.

I wrote on the DH thread that I'd love to see Marti Noxon, Jane Espenson, David Fury, David Greenwalt, Douglas Petrie, esp. in regard of Fool For Love. If you have other ideas - he sounds very forthcoming! :)
