What were their favourite episodes? : ASH lists amongst his - Once More With Feeling, Hush and Passion (at this point ASH looks away as if struck with intense grief and mutters 'Jenny' - the audience fall apart laughing. In fact this is repeated a couple of times throughout the talk to huge laughs) .  AD adds 'Guise will be Guise' to this and 'Spin the Bottle' , 'Waiting in the Wings' - in fact most of the Joss penned episodes and (with a smile on his face) lots of 'Willow ones'.

ASH & AD went on to explain how they spent much of their time on the set holding back giggles. AD said that ASH giggling was terribly infectious as we all found out.  There was once scene in 'The Prom' where AD was to describe all the 'things' he wanted to do to Cordelia which included 'lashing her to a table' which at each point  ASH would be unable to keep a straight face. 

   We were also told about the many takes in Spin the Bottle where Angel returns from outside to report about 'the shiny demons'  at which point Wesley should point out that they were cars.  After many takes Joss decides to take 5, however AD said this made it worse and in the end they had to shoot one word at a time and edit the scene together.  Also AD's  habit during S2 and S3 AtS  of being trouser less  during behind the counter/desk scenes - just to make it more interesting.

ASH recalls being hit on the head over 12 times during shooting 'Revelations'  and each time the actress hit him in exactly the same place, by the end he was flinching and there were even more takes. ASH did note that Giles was always being bashed on the head. Sword play with Alexis in S3 also resulted in each other being prodded in between giggles.
