Poopy. It’s a made-for-TV movie. Specifically, a made-for-British-TV movie.
Call me again when they’ve deigned to let us poor Americans view it, if ever. Last I heard they can’t be bothered to sell Doctor Who to anybody over here … 
Might be worth watching just for the visuals. Opening scene – the face of a tortoise, swimming. Pan back. There are stars behind it. Further back and you can see the elephants standing on its shell. Then the Discworld on top of that.
Um, Dude. Sci-Fi channel. March.
Kind of like the opening of the cartoons? 
And heaven forbid a British author puts his work on British TV. You know, because usually we 'Merkins miss out on movies…
Sci-Fi bought Dr. Who

No, no, no. That’s not my complaint at all. My complaint is that it seems to take forever for British-made TV to get shown over here. I’m sure the reverse is true for Brits who are avidly waiting for particular US-made TV.
Oh, and glad to hear about Doctor Who. My point still stands, though; why the heck did it take so long?
Err, that last one was a response to JSexton; I forgot to check the “Quote message” box.
I’ve mixed feelings about this one. It might be good, especially because from what I can tell, Pratchett will have influence on it, but I guess I’ll just have to wait till Christmas to see it, and judge then. It’ll just be odd, because I guess, like many others, I have an image in my head of what the characters look like, and seeing them as real life actors and actresses will just be wierd.
