    Yep. I just finished watching it a few minutes ago. I really enjoyed it. Mr. Teatime was brilliant. I don't know whether you noticed but he was Elton in 'Love and Monsters'. :)

    Don`t worry too much,its gonna get repeated god knows how many times on sky one2 and 3 so pleanty of time to see it!
    However i did think the bloke who played Mr Teatime(Marc Warren) over cooked it in the Johnny Depp/Willie Wonka stakes,just my opinion.He was also in Band of brothers as Pvt Albert Blythe,he was the one who was the scared soilder,not cowardly i dont think any of them were cowards,who after getting a little chat off Lt speirs comes good in the end...........Then gets shot by a sniper

    Saw it and thought it was great. Read the book years ago and it seemed pretty faithful to what I remember (not that I remember it all that well). Pretty damn good overall and a much more interesting choice for a tv movie than the usual pap you get at Christmas.

    Out of all the Pratchett books I wish they'd turn into films, it'd be the five books where Rincewind (the useless wizard) is the main character. They are superb.

    Apparently, in one of his posts on the IMDB, Vadim Jean* has hinted that he's been asked too direct another Discworld movie next year. I hope he does Reaper Man or a Rincewind story. :)

    *Although he is being a bit secretive about it.

    as far as Terry Pratchett goes, I think that the book which most W.O.S'ers would "get" is

    ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND


    :) Sheer Brilliance! :)
