Anyone see it? It's getting repeated over Christmas, boxing day I think, if you missed it. It was absolutely quality! I'm a big fan of the Terry Pratchett discworld books and it was great to see them finally do a real life adaptation of one of his books. David Jason was great in it but Ian Richardson really stole the show as the voice of Death!

Was great for the fans a faithful remake of the book! Anyone who's never read one of Pratchetts novels would have turned off after about 10 mins i fear. Definaltey one for the fans i thought they could have made it a bit more accessible though. (I've read a lot of Discworld books but not that one and i struggled)

Pratchett's books are kind of like doing speed while reading Lord of the rings meets Monty Python!
