Sky One broadcast a 2 part Adaptation of the Colour of Magic & the Light Fantastic over Easter this year.

As they had a bigger budget then for the Hogfather, the effects and some of the other sequences were quiet a bit better.

However, I tend to like the Rincwind from Paul Kirby's drawings, so I did find David Jason as Rincwind a bit unnerving (especially as he had played Albert in the Hogfather, who was the foremost wizard in his time.Hmm, Interesting), but that's a personal preference, as I am not as fond of the first 2 books as I am of his later works.

Still it is a fun movie to watch, so a hearty recommendation.

It does not unfortunately appear to yet be available on DVD, but should hopefully be so.
