Hogfather!

*Arrianna* · Dec 14, 2006, 12:22 PM

I don't know how many of you are Terry Pratchett fans but the latest news is that the Hogfather is being brought to TV in the UK. Now, I'm eagerly awaiting the torrent & counting down to it going to DVD.

If anyone else is interested some info sites are:
Sky One
Brightcove - Video Search

So speak up if you live in the UK and intend to watch this so the rest of us can envy you (or even if you're just a fan).

I will be watching this on the TV here!!

my youger brother has the books.

it does seem interesting.

*Arrianna* · Dec 14, 2006, 12:30 PM

So... does that mean you have read the books or haven't read the books?

Sazzy · Dec 14, 2006, 12:31 PM

I haven't been able to read them yet... i am not really much of a reading kind of person...but i might do after i finish university.

*Arrianna* · Dec 14, 2006, 12:33 PM

yeah.... don't start with "The Color of Magic" or you might never get to the good stuff. Not saying it's bad, it's just the writting style changes after the first two books.

Sazzy · Dec 14, 2006, 12:34 PM

I don't know what my brother has in his collection but i am sure he has a good selection.

But thanks for the tip..i will make sure not to read it/them first.

That's not fair. Why not Malaysia as well?

And to think that I've been faithfully buying every book from the Discworld series...

Well, I don't wish to sound proud, but yeah... it was on a few days ago... Sunday and Monday, in fact. Both at 8pm... Very funny...

Set on Discworld, Terry Pratchett's Hogfather novel is brought to life. Deranged Assassin Mr Teatime (with a bunch of thieves and a failed apprentice wizard) wants to "inhumme" the Hogfather (Discworld's equivalent of Santa Claus) by destroying children's belief in him. By kidnapping and holding hostage the tooth fairy in order to use children's teeth to control their belief. The only being that can take his place? Death, a depressant anthopomorphic personification, too caught up with humanity for his own good. Assisted by his foul servant Albert and his half-human (beacause some talents, like walking through walls or freezing time, are inherited "in the bone" rather than genetically), adoptive granddaughter Susan.

That's pretty much the whole thing... David Jason, Michelle Dockery Marc Warren and Ian Richardson make it what it is... Incredibly funny.

*Arrianna* · Dec 21, 2006, 09:30 AM

I downloaded and watched it. I am going to thank whoever put it up on torrent now.

It was great. A must see for any Paratchett fan, and if you aren't a fan see it anyway. You just might become one. bwhahahahahaha!!!

*Zui Quan* · Dec 23, 2006, 09:33 AM

Finally.

A holiday event worth watching.

Pratchett is an f'ing comedic genius. The Discworld books kick serious ass, and whenever I'm on a road trip a book-on-cd of a Terry Pratchett book read by Tony Robinson (Baldrick from Black Adder) is the perfect way to make the miles zoom by at record speed.

This looks like a job for BitTornado!
