Mayhaps that would have been better fare though, considering the Discworld isn't exactly mainstream, it would possibly be better to see familiar faces play familiar archetypes (I know that Discworld doesn't have many obvious archetypes, but you know what I mean).

But yeah, I would have loved to have seen Brian Blessed as Ridcully. I suppose we need to make do with what we got; especially considering we do at least have a Discworld programme to watch.
