Twas the night before Hogswatch.....
Review of Hogfather (Limited Edition) by Coloneljohn

Advantages: A very entertaining and funny programme.
Disadvantages: May not appeal to everybody as it is Fantasy/Discworld.

...set out to rescue the Hogfather and ensure that the Sun will return. I do hope that I have not given too much away. Those who have already read the book or watched the original Sky One production will know the story. A screen play is not the same as a stage play or the book upon which it may have been based. So this production does not follow the book word for word. Not every character from the book is present and some are not as prominent. Anybody ...

DVD Description

In this live-action adaptation of the Terry Pratchett book of the same name, the inhabitants of Discworld celebrate a form of Christmas called Hogswatch, where the Hogfather travels in a hog-drawn sleigh, delivering presents to children. In this world, the fabric of reality is predominantly dependent on the power of belief. So, when the Hogfather mysteriously disappears, Death dons a red coat and false beard and sets about delivering all the presents before the children of Discworld notice that anything is amiss. Of course, he cannot do it all alone, and enlists the help of his trusty servant Albert (David Jason, ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES). Meanwhile, Death’s granddaughter Susan (Michelle Dockery, CONSENT) searches for the Hogfather before belief in him disappears, leading to the destruction of Discworld. This adaptation of THE HOGFATHER is the first time a live-action version of a book by the hugely successful author Terry Pratchett has been made and it manages to be an entertaining Christmas family tale. With a sizeable budget and a charismatic performance by David Jason, THE HOGFATHER brings Discworld fully to life. This limited edition version includes a note to Terry Pratchett fans.
