- The 12 Days Of Hogswatch - Death's Guide To Discworld (12 Episodes)
Based on Terry Pratchett's worldwide best selling fantasy book, Hogfather is set on the semi-medieval but strangely familiar Discworld. And the Hogfather (you know, the jolly fat man) who delivers presents to the kiddies at Christmas at the midwinter festival of Hogswatch has gone missing. But it's vital that all the presents are delivered, otherwise the sun won't rise tomorrow. However, there is another supernatural entity who can be everywhere at once and, most importantly, knows where everybody lives. He is Death, but with a false beard and a few cushions that he reckons might just work.

The book brought to life in superb form... I don't know what some of the other reviewers were watching but *I* and everyone else I've spoken to about it loved it.
Ian Richardson as the voice of Death was wonderful and his passing in real life will be sorely missed.
The casting team did a superb job and everyone slotted into their parts as if they were that person, the mark not only of superb actors, but also of great casting.
Nobby Nobbs I was especially curious to see, and no offence to the actor intended, but he genuinely did look like he needed a letter to prove membership of the human race.
The scenery was excellent and looked exactly as I imagine Discworld and Ankh Morpork would.
Overall a wonderful presentation and I look forward eagerly to the next outing on celluloid :)
OK but I was hoping for more

I watched it on TV at Christmas and it was passable, i was hoping for a bit more but it didn't really deliver, something about is unmistakibly 'made for TV' and how often do you really watch a Christmas thing during the year
Watch it on TV, not worth the DVD

I got bored watching this on TV, some poeple may like it but not me.
