Terry Pratchett's Colour Of Magic coming to Sky One

Only just seen a trailer for it, guessing it has not been on yet. Their Hogfather was OK despite not liking the story so I'm sure this will be goood. Interesting to see the same actors playing different characters (though in the same universe), David Jason is playing Rincewind. And they have seemingly made Twoflower (the tourist) American instead of Japanese, less danger of appearing a bit racist I suppose.

It's also got my friend Tim Curry in it. Wish we'd had a real camera with us that day...

The Luggage, but for real

The Luggage, from Terry Pratchett's Colour of Magic and other Discworld Novels, and it can be yours, all the money goes to charity.

A unique opportunity to own a one-off replica of the luggage as featured in Sky One's adaptation of Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic. This quirky 'suitcase' is filled with the full library of Discworld novels, plus the production designs used to build the luggage as seen in the film. Both the books and the designs have been signed by Terry Pratchett.
Also included in this money can’t buy piece of memorabilia is a copy of the Discworld 25th anniversary edition of The Colour of Magic which hits book store shelves on the 10th March. This brand spanking new reissue not only features the stars of Sky One’s magical adaptation, Sir David Jason and Sean Astin, on the front cover, but the two actors have also signed the novel.
