Ignore the Synopsis, it looks like a five year old has written it.

That five year old has a large vocabulary for one so young!

Pretty cool collection of pictures. Though I'm a bit disappointed that Death looks a bit grinch-like, rather than an average human skull as I think he should be.

I was thinking more in accuracy than grammer.

"Susan leads a gang" and so forth.

I think my favourite picture is the one of Ridcully with the Wow Wow Sauce.

Some amazing photos there ! They certainly did a great job on the casting, I can't wait to see this...

Strangely enough I have only just realised the link between Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas and Hogfather... Sometimes, I'm a real snail... :roll:

Umm... I think it goes back further than T B to Dr Suess (Seuss, seues gaah, can't remember how to spell it now) :badgrin:

I'm not too sure whether I like Death's look in this, but Susan, Teatime, Albert, the wizards, the God of Hangovers, and the city watch look great.

Awesome photos!

I'm seriously wondering if Death looks the way he does because the hollows in the mask's cheekbones serve as eyepieces for the actor!

(But yeah, I think that Death shouldn't look icky and/or frightening. I think he ought to have looked neutral - like an ordinatory skeleton!)

Come to think of it, he kind of looks like your avatar, Drunky!

Yar. I have came to a point in my life when I do not know who is better. Murray, or Death. Ahhhh!

This is the first time I have taken this project seriously as something that could actually be good. The pictures have filled me with hope! Thanks for the link, Red Avenger.

There'll be a DVD from March on. So for those not receiving SKY, it might go to their Easter wishlist...

Also, it seems it will be broadcasted in Germany (Pro7) in January. Huzzah!

Well, that's not true - first live action, perhaps, but what about Cosgrove Hall's 'Wyrd Sisters' and 'Soul Music'??
