I finally managed to get round to watching it and, to be honest, it was slightly better than expected. I liked the change they did with the Hogfather initially delivering, then just disappearing. The wizards weren't done very well, they just didn't seem like the same group as those in the books at all.
Teatime was good, I think the voice suited him as someone who hadn't quite grown up and learnt the difference between right and wrong, especially compared to the rumbling Banjo, who did (sort of). The only disappointment from Teatime was that he didn't correct people's pronunciations of his name enough.
Death and Albert were done particularly well, as were Banjo, Mr Brown and Sideney. Susan was generally good, but at points seemed a little stilted, such as when facing the auditors.
My only concern about it is that those who don't read the books may have got lost at points. The whole of UU and the Oh God of Hangovers were just dumped upon us with very little introduction, ok, I know that's meant to happen with the Oh God - but at least he gets a chance to say his own name in the book (Susan does so here). The cut to the chase also seemed to be a bit rushed as if you were just meant to
know that the auditors were in the dogs.
But overall, I enjoyed it. I'd probably give it a 7/10, though considering I never rate other TV shows, that's pretty meaningless
