I'm here trusting but also not in Australia so I guess it doesn't count...

Poor BibwitHart! VHS tape? Are you planning on gift-wrapping something?

Taped it. But I'm reserving judgement until I've seen the other half, because otherwise I might cry.

One of these days, I'll get myself a dvd recorder...

Agrees with BK! In the meantime, wishes Teatime's voice were not so ridiculous- it is impossible for him to appear evil enough, especially with his laugh. Auditor voices are reminiscent of Henry's Cat vocals/style/sound- not really appropriate.

Sorry folks, I missed the Part one on Sunday until the last moment and taped it as I had to go out into the country and collect my wife and the gingerbread and the shortbread made to an old Scottish recipe handed down from my aunt.

It was a beautiful drive and evening but it meant that I have not yet seen any of Hogfather and probably won't until later in the week or even next year.

PS: The gingerbread and shortbreads are lovely and as soon as I can liberate some I'll send it across for you to try.

For some strange reason, his name got translated in German to "Kaffeetrinken" (something that Germans are supposed to do on Sunday afternoon. With coffee, not tea.)

It was the poorest attempt to translate a pun I have ever heard.

I don't want to be the one to post spoilers, so I wont.

But it was nice to see Pterry on film!

Ya. He is shorter than I imagined him to be though. Not that I know how tall I did imagine him to be....

Prinz: That is a very poor attempt....
