BSKYB exclusive. Sir David Jason is an awesome actor and absolutely perfect for this role.

LINKAGE

Airing only in England I think, but you can probably find it on many torrents after the showing on Christmas.

Wheee! Can't wait till somebody drops it on YouTube or a torrent.

And if they give the Night Watch series this treatment, I'm all over it like sugar on cookies, baby!

Yeeeeees...this will be good.

And I agree with Kat. The Ankh-Morpork Watch is my favorite discworld series.

Pratchett was brought in on the design and pre-production work to make sure it mirrors his book and the humour remains true to the original idea.

Looking forward to this.

The absurdity of Death dressed up as the Hogfather shall be most humorous!

I've seen the Kidby pic of him done up as the Hogfather. It kicked ass.

Last couple of novels have been pretty good, too. Nice to see someone who isn't slowing down too much.

Sweet, I like their choice for Ridcully. He's always been a favorite of mine. I love how he torments the rest of the wizards at times with his blustery nature.

Don't see a picture for the chick playing Susan. Is she appropriately Susanish looking?
