    I am not entirely convinced by the idea of casting a Merkin as Twoflower Twoflower is so a Japanese or Chinese tourist. I am not convinced some of the jokes work without that connection.

    I think the problem may be that Planer played an inept Wizard in the Sky rendition of Hogfather.

    Twoflower as an American? That's just wrong!
    Did Pratchett have a say in the casting?

    Still can't wait to see it though. Hogfather was the bollocks.

    I've downloads a divx version and a HD version of the first part. Hopefully I'll get the same for the 2nd part.

    An American Twoflowers is indeed a bad thing. However Moss thing as Ford Prefect wasn't as woeful as I expected.

    It was good - some nice touches. Fry up was good too

    I watched the feature length Stargate too which was cool - although the replicators annoy me a bit - wee meccano bastards!

    I did try to watch it but it was a bit CBBC.

    The wifey liked it though.
