Hopefully this won't suck. My only question is: What the hell is Sky One and how do I get it?

Also looks like a new Discworld book entitled (http://www.harpercollins.com/features/pratchettbooks/description.aspx?isbn=9780060890315) Wintersmitth is due soon, as well as a small tour of the states.

I be's happy.

Sky One is one of Rupert Murdoch's tentacles. But I'm pretty sure it's British Isles only.

Hmmm....surely it will be released as a DVD in this day and age. It really sucks - Britian has all the good bands and all the good writers. I'm glad we dumped your fucking tea into the harbor. ;)

Hmm, I'm really hopign this captures the perfectly balanced insanity of the discworld novels, I'de hate to see one of my favourite series bastardized again after those horrible animated versions made before.

You think that was their good tea? The bastards were hoarding that, too.

Wintersmith has been out for while. It's another of Pratchett's children's discworld books.

What was wrong with them? They were much closer to the books than most adaptations, and they were what first got me into Discworld (I know I know, I am a lame bandwagonning fanboy etc)

By "A While", do you mean "Negative 8 days"?

You think we were going to let the bloody colonists get their hands on the Darjeeling, what?

Did you see what they did to Reaper Man? One of my favourite discworld novels drained of all it's charm and humor. It had Death looking as evil as Satan, and all the comedy promptly fell flat on it's face.
