If you happened to use a torrent client, and accidentally searched "Terry Pratchetts The Colour Of Magic" (parts 1 and 2). .

. . . you might encounter this weekend's british HDTV production with a screenplay that was "Mucked about by Terry Pratchett" and with Sean Astin as TwoFlower, David Jason as Rincewind, Jeremy Irons as the Patrician and CHRISTOPHER LEE as the voice of DEATH.

I know it's unlikely that you'd do such a thing, but if you did, I suspect you'd be pretty pleased.

I was

I found it sadly lacking that special something. :( The main humour that they were trying to generate was steadily run into the ground with cheesey lines and bad slapstick. Then again, it's difficult to capture something that is funny because of the way it is written, on screen.

I'd give it a 6/10 either way, here's hoping the next one (which i hear is Making Money) will be better.

Also they didn't use a real fUcking oranguatang. What a waste.

Yeah it did feel like something was missing, the Hogfather didnt seem to have that problem though...

I'd really like to see Witch's Abroad made into a film, its by far my favorite discworld book. However i'd be scared they would ruin it for me, the casting would have to be just right to make it work.
