On Wednesday 30th December 1998, something very special occurred. BBC2 screened, for the first time on UK terrestrial TV, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer pilot episode. From then my life had changed - there was only one show on TV worth watching - BTVS - and only one woman in my life - Sarah Michelle Gellar.

The show is brilliant combining light horror, teenage angst, great humour, and, of course, a fabulous looking lead star, with other luscious ladies in supporting roles - a cast list is here!

On UK terrestrial TV, the BBC have aquired the rights for the first three seasons, and are now screening season 2. The episodes screened are:
