You will be able to download it mere minutes after it airs anyway... not that I would do anything like that officer ;)

Already punched into the Sky+ box.
If they`re going to do them all in order that should keep me busy till they nail the lid on.

Would be a pretty big boxed set but by the end you`ll probably be able to buy them all on a USB key or it`s equivalent.

Can`t wait till they get to Nanny Ogg, Magrat and Granny Weatherwax.
Not to mention the Wee Free Men.

Wee Free Men will be made into a film by none other than Sam Raimi. He has bought the rights to the book,

oddly enough, that`s the only Nac Mac Feegle book I haven`t read.

I`m assuming they`re uncluding the Light Fantastic in the adaptation, or there`ll be a lot of scratching heads. But i`ve seen David hanging upside-down in a floating cave, so i`m hoping...

Looking forward to the joke about the "Insewerance" (assuming they include it) :D
Been a while since I read the early Pratchett books but they`re all upstairs so I might just pick them up again.

Wasn`t overly impressed with The Hogfather that Sky did, but will be interested to see how this one comes out.

"Build a man a fire, and he`ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he`ll be warm for the rest of his life."
-Terry Pratchett.

I didn`t really see much of Hogfather (case of jumping in to the middle rather than the begining IMO).

TCOM is both the first two books according to interviews I have read\seen (Sky Magazine), as the first book is a loose collection of incidents & the second continues that theme with a more definate "threat" SPOILER:
(this will be Tim Curry\Trymon I assume & creates The Librarian`s change of lifestyle....Oook)

Where life will get interesting is during the second part (The Light Fantastic) where
SPOILER:

Rincewind travels to Deaths house to rescue Twoflower, & meets Deaths adopted daughter (Mother of Susan & Albert played by David "Rincewind" Jason).




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

I hate answering the phone at work - It disturbs my sleep.

Actually the one thats begging to be made is the p*ss take of hollywood and the whole film industry. Interesting Times, I think.
Needs a director with a good dose of irony and "who needs a career anyway"
