Default Hogfather-What did you think? (Mild spoilers of film) - 12-20-2006, 12:29

I haven't got SKY but a packet of bikkits and a new toy yak encouraged a friend of mine to record the show on video for me. Great performances all round and considering the limited budget, an excellent job by the production team. There were, as always in many adaptions from books, a few slight changes and omissions, but I don't think thay made much difference to the story.
I noted a comment by Dane on the voice of actor Marc Warren being a bit Johnny Deppish. I remember an actor called Peter Laurie who appeared in lots of horror films with Boris Karloff (check your history books, kiddies) who actually spoke like that most of the time, and he was a very popular actor.

The MOB team did a good job and I hope Terry may consider letting them have a go at adapting more of his works.

Final thought...."Never judge a movie by its book"


I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.
