Can anybody tell me the dates and times when Hogfather will be shown on Sky this December?

Also I understand that 12 trailers (the 12 days of Hogwatch?) have been produced to show prior to the first showing. Any one know days and times for the showing of these?

We’ve not had a reason to watch Sky since Buffy and Angel finished and my dedication to Discworld is not enough to change the habit in the hope of catching the trailers, but would like to see them in case they don’t appear on the DVD

:sigh: Would anyone feel like videoing them for those of us who don't have Sky? Then we could come and visit whoever videos them to watch them together.

Mini YorkCon, Mal & Marcia?

We don't have Sky, just Freeview. I'll definately buy it on DVD though when it comes out.

Chances of it showing in the States are very low I'm guessing? Is there a technologically advanged person out there with a TiVo, DVD burner, and a utter disreguard for copyright laws? Not for this of course, just wondering in general. I will get DVD when it shows on these shores in any event.

Did anyone watch the making of Hogfather last night?
Most of what they showed was already up as clips on their website, so I was kind of disappointed. Anticipating a good show next week nonetheless.

Well I was impressed with it.
I wasnt sure about Death when I saw the trailers , just didnt look right, but he was only in the red outfit. Last night you saw him in his cowl and I felt it was a very good representation and made me realise the wrongness I felt seeing him as the hogfather was probably the desired effect.
As for the voice well other than maybe throwing some special effects of somekind on it the best you can do is to get a classic actor with a distinguished deep voice to do it...and Ian Mkelland fits the bill as well as anyone.

Didnt see enough of the wizards so I cant comment on them.
Teatime was a really good choice. I didnt recognise the actors name but once I saw him I recognised him from a few things including an episode of Dr Who (the one thats about the origin of plastic surgery women...cant remember her name or name of the episode...I know Im crap)
Anyway, soon as I recognised him I wasnt sure as he normally plays cockney wide boy type of roles...but from the clips I saw he was suitably creepy/dangerous/enigmatic.
David Jason...nuff said.
Nigel Planar looked right in the role of Mr Sydney.
The little bit of Deep Thought I saw looked good.

All in all Im looking even more forward to seeing the film!
