Hogfather coming to TV!

Nuts. This is something I've been wanting to see, unfotunately I don't get the Ion channel. :\

Borders (and only Borders for some reason) has the DVD if you're so inclined.

The scene where death as the Hogfather is talking with the magical computer was oddly touching. I mean, neither could have expression but still it was sweet and carried just the right amount of sentiment.

I think for American audiences it moved rather slowly. It did not need to be all "wiz-bang" so to speak, but the director could have made the actors pick up the pace a bit.

My gf bought it on DVD while she was in London in the spring and I've watched it for a dozen times already. It is well done and I got to say they managed to make mr. Teetime really scary. The actress choice for Susan was also very good.

I'd never even heard of the channel until Sunday, but I saw that this was on and had to watch. I was rather entertained.

It is in the Family Movie section at Borders and is going for $17 this week (sticker said it was $20). For some reason it isn't listed on their web site, but it is available in the stores.

I hear they are gonna do the other books as well starting with the first book. I think it has been or still filming now.

Thank you for mentioning this - I paid a quick visit to Borders and now have my own copy of Hogfather.

HO HO HO.

The Auld Grump, and won't Albert be surprised!

It seems you are right: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/ . And what's best is that they have casted Christopher Lee as the voice of Death. He played it in the animated version of Soul Music and I was a bit disappointed when he wasn't in Hogfather.
