I’m a huge fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. At this stage I’ve read nearly the entire series, and own most of them. I didn’t get a chance to see this on Sky One at Christmas, so I’ve been eagerly waiting for this to be released on DVD.
I eventually got around to ordering it from play.com and I just had to watch it as soon as it arrived, and it was every bit as good as I had heard it was.
The casting I thought was perfect, I can’t imagine anyone who is better suited to play Albert than David Jason, and the performance of Marc Warren as Teatime, (that’s tee-ah-tim-ee, you insensitive clod), was scary.
I won’t give away any of the plot, but this book was always one of my favourites, and I have to say that this live action adaption does it full justice. If you’re a Discworld fan, and haven’t seen this movie, then what are you waiting for?
