Who would have thought that the home of brilliant Terry Pratchett adaptations would be Sky One? The satellite giants have provided lots of cash and talent for their versions of Hogfather, The Colour of Magic and Going Postal, the latter coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on August 23rd. Perfect for those without subscription tv or who utterly despise adverts.
The plot sees con-artist Moist von Lipwig (Richard Coyle: Coupling, Prince of Persia) being sent to the hangman’s noose, but he doesn’t expect to get beaten at his own game and fall through the trapdoor into a Government job. Given the position of Postmaster, a role that hasn’t been occupied in years, by ruler of Ankh-Morpork Lord Vetinari (Charles Dance: Gosford Park, Bleak House), it’s his daunting task to get the dilapidated Postal Service up and running again.
All star cast, great special effects and a clever story set in the fantastical world of Discworld, all under the blessing of Pratchett. What more could you want? Pre-order now to get your copy in the post for release day!
