Please tell me how it goes, I'm an avid Pratchett fan without Sky television. Agreed on the Tim Curry front as well, we're far more used to seeing him in Scary Movie and RHS.
its sky one at 6:00 on sunday and monday.the first part (the colour of magic)(this series covers the colour of magic and the light fantastic) it is about a tourist (twoflower played by the guy who plays sam ganjie in LOTR) who comes to ankh morepork and runs into Rincewind (sir david jason form only fools & horses) who agrees to show him around for 2 solid gold coins a day. tim curry's character is a low level teacher who is bumping off other teachers to become the arch chansellor and sucseeds.you can probably now get clips on YouTube or download the episodes for thos who dont have Sky.
terry pratchet: either you love him or you hate him. I hate him. for some strange reason we bought the movie and when we watched it, my whole family fell asleep after a half hour. bad movie. seriously. waste of cash.
