Can anyone in the UK get their hands on a copy of The Colour of Magic for me? I'll pay for shipping and whatnot. :-)

www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/

As far as I can see, it hasn't been officially released. Your only chance at this point is for someone to have recorded the broadcast. I didn't, I'm afraid (nor did I watch it, for that matter).

Awesome... I think they released Hogfather pretty quickly here - :cross: that they'll do the same.

As Covjr said its not released as of yet but I need to speak to our dvd supplier at work in the next couple of days so I could ask for you if you want?
If its soon I can happily send it your way. :)

I'd forgotten it was out actually. My partner is a huge Pratchett fan so I will be buying a copy for us as well!

Thanks - that'd be great! I didn't know if anyone managed to tape the show. Just watched Hogfather (after finishing the book). They did a pretty good job with it.

What is this? Animation? Live action? (I love Pratchett...dunno if I could go for a film version though...how would you define "pretty good"?)

Live action. What deterred me from watching it was David Jason as Rincewind. He's a decent actor, but completely wrong for Rincewind.

Mr Jason also played Albert in Hogfather. How can the same person be cast as both Albert and Rincewind?!

Del boy! :lol: Yeah...I could almost see him as Albert...almost. But definitely not Rincewind. Nowhere near scraggley enough.

Ok, I'm put off. :D

Is it not available to download as a torrent file? there's a thread over in The Loresraat how to do it....

Of course downloading is probably illegal and pirating and stuff, so I'm not saying you should actually DO that or anything..... :oops:
