    The March issue of What Satellite magazine has an article on it. According to the article it will be shown on Sky One over Easter.

    I'm looking forward to this. Christopher Lee voicing DEATH again, woo!

    Also really liked The Hogfather.

    And as for the actual colour of magic, I say greeny blue.

    I got the March Sky magazine today and it also has an article on the show. As far as the air date/time, it also has it placed 'over Easter'. However, they also list a 'Making of..' show on Sunday Mar 16 at 5pm on Sky One.

    I'll have to try to get someone to record it. The Hogfather was quite enjoyable, although Susan wasn't exactly as I always imagined her. I'm hoping this will be good, 'cause smite me but somehow Rincewind is not really my favourite.

    I just saw some footage from it in a Sky ad as well. What I saw looks good. I haven't read the book though so I'm not familiar with the story.

    I'm must admit I'm a little disappointed that they've re-used David Jason as Rincewind, I always pictured him as a younger, useless wizard, rather than the older looking wizard he's seen as in the new show.

    After all, he has to outrun the Dungeon Dimensions. Also, anyone seen images of the luggage yet?

    Lastly, it will be interesting to see if they have combined The Light Fantastic into The Colour Of Magic, as they are essentially a two-part story with a definite cliff-hangar ending in between them. I could see them combining them, as the original books are easily the shortest of all of his stories.

    This month's Sky Magazine has a Behind the Scenes article on pages 12-13. One of the pics shows Twoflower's luggage (with all the feet).

    Also the article in the March What Satellite magazine says the show is based on both books.

    Been seeing an ad for this all over Sky Movies. It starts at 6pm on Easter Sunday on Sky One.

    There's also the 'Making of..' special on Sky One today from 430-530.

    The 'Making of' special was pretty good. I know it's repeated on Sky Two or Three. It's worth catching!

    Agree completely, and it laid to rest some of my concerns seeing the making of show. I'm now really looking forward to this on Sunday and Monday.
