I enjoyed it - was a little disappointed at the absence of the Cheerful Fairy but like all these things, it had to be trimmed and I guess she was expendable.

Liked Joss as Ridcully, but in my mind, he'll always be Brian Blessed!

I saw on Dave Langford's website a small aside that Vadim Jean is to direct a follow-up to "The Hogfather", (emphatically not a sequel) which will be based on "The Colour of Magic" and "The Light Fantastic".

Read the entry for 16th Feb for the info.

Yeah... I'm sure I read an interview with Tony Robinson saying he was going to be involved. Presumably not as Crumley...

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Hw wouldn't have made a bad rincewind back in the day...

I quite fancy the idea of Tony Robinson as Cohen.

Interesting thought.

But who will voice Death?

I'd like to see Colin Smythe have a go at it!

Death should be voiced by Christopher Lee, he did the animated dvds

Oh my God! He's not Welsh is he?

You're about as punk as Enya!

Yes, but that doesn't mean no-one else could do it...

... I mean, there have been loads of actors playing James Bond.

Who was in Hogfather as Death?

Ian Richardson did the voice I think.

Yes, he did. Marnix Van Den Broeke provided the body.

Hence my comment about who will voice Death in the next one, as Ian Richards has now passed on.

The Hogfather.... well thank you MartinB for starting that one with me. finished watching it the other night... I loved it!

I really REALLY hope channel 7 *does* put it on, not just buying the rights to stop anyone else having them...

Did anyone attend "Nullus Anxietas" and if so did they see "Run Rincewind, Run"?

If so, how was it?

IT WAS BRILLIANT!

:D

There is a link on the website to it. Hang on!

[www.ausdwcon.org] the relevant thread.

www.snowgumfilms.com daniel's site (who made the film)

And next up is Colour of Magic (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/)
With Christopher Lee as the voice of Death

Oooo.... He can do it I think.

But Death is a fairly minor role in that one.

Even though I love to get my hands on a new Pratchett chock-full of Death (like Hogfather) I also love the times where he just pops in for a quick joke* and is off again.

I envy Pratchett on that one, he has created the perfect throw-away joke character, he can be anywhere,anytime.

I cant pull that off in the "reality based" stuff I write.... although me newest one is about vampires....

I've got a Hofather question, If they gave the Fairy the ax, do the scenes in The Maul happen in the TV movie?



*and a little hint that he might be becoming more human
