i'm a huge terry pratchett fan. i have every one of his books. however i
didn't like the adaptation of the hogfather.
i watched the first half hour of this as it went out and it was excellent.
much higher production values than the hogfather. if like me you weren’t
enamoured by the hogfather i highly recommend that you download this. based on
what i saw, you won't be disappointed.
part 2 airs tomorrow night.

i was amazed when i found out that this was a 2 parter. i would have thought 2
hours would have been all the time they were allowed. the fact that this show
will be 4 hours (including ads) gives them the chance to really explore the
story and bring the book the life.
i really hope that this proves to be popular, i would love sky to pick this up
and begin to produce the whole series of books in order and give them all the
love and attention they have given this.
my only disappointment is with david jason playing rincewind, while he looks the
part (kind of) the fact he is so old means that everytime he rides a horse or
runs they need a body double or green screen. as rincewind is known for needing
to run all the time, it doesn't really work.

part 2 tomorrow is actually the second book in the series, not the colour of
magic, but "the light fantastic". they've managed to get two whole books into
the mini series :-)

the hogfather was actually the first terry pratchet book i ever read, and by far
not the last.
and i most say i absolutely loved the bbc adaptation.
i think discworld is a rather a hard thing to make into film, much as the
hitchikers guide to the galaxy.
my point being some things are bound to be different from the book, and that is
ok in my opinion.
as long as it keeps the spirit of the source material.
