Every Hogswatchnight, the Hogfather travels the land in his sleigh drawn by four wild boars, giving gifts to children. Good children receive gifts of pork products. Bad children get a bag of bloody bones...
This Christmas, though, we're getting something better: a TV adaptation. There's a full cast list here (short version: Ian Richardson as the voice of Death, David Jason (del-boy) as Albert, Marc Warren of the googly eyes as Mr Teatime).
I guess I'd better make sure to have the spare bandwidth for it...

Thanks for the cool news. Saw Mirrormask not long ago and it's definitely worth a look. Similar in feel to Clive Barker's recent kidult series, and Imagica.

I await it with trepidation. Just cannot see Discworld being done justice on TV (Mind you, that's what I thought about Hitchhiker's Guide...)

I'm not sure...I always saw Susan Death as Helena Bonham Carter.
