Thanks Dave, that's great!

I had a thought - how about Jack Dee as Vimes.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Very interesting

He's not cynical enough

Great idea! He's actually very versatille.

I posted it before I watched it -

- that was fascinating! So candid. I like that they mention that it is set at the end, so the Lady Sybil hospital already exists and so on - awesome. As he says end does that sound like confirmation that Snuff will be the last Watch book?

They also allowed us to sit in and record the event for prosperity ......

Oh dear. And these are supposed to be professional journolists?

Oh I know. I couldn't decide between Journos or the whole word, so combined the two.

Then again, I'm not a professional writer, and the good people at SFX should know a hell of a lot better.

 

[pip]

fair enough. sorry to point it out.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Hangover must be better then?

 

[pip]

just about. I have training later on so had to behave at some point .

SFX asses the viability of The Watch, and it's competition. Interesting article.

SFX asks if the timing is right for CSI - Ankh Morpork

 

[pip]

wow.

 

[deldaisy]

BUGGER!

Yeah! .... but this is DISCWORLD!

Hope DW doesn't get tarred and feathered with the same brush of its lesser mortals

Wow indeed.

Love the picture, though.

I'm still excited about it, still gently vibrating with fangasmic glee. I've been waiting for some similar announcment since... well, since I first picked up Guards Guards in 1999. It'd make a great TV drama, yes it'll have competition (I'm suprised at all the different series announced by SFX), but it'll have one massive advantage over the others: it's source material has been around longer. The City Watch has it's fan base, which will surely bolster numbers. We'll see, I'm still cautiously optimistic!

Also, casting suggestions:

David O'Hara - Vimes
After I saw him in the Tudors as the Earl of Surrey, I think he's a winner. Perhaps he's a bit too young... either him or possibly... maybe... Philip Glenister. I think.
Samuel Roukin - Carrot
He's tall (check out his photos at the premier for Bright Star, he's freakin' massive!), ginger (okay he has a silly floppy fringe at the moment, but we can fix that) and broad shouldered. His IMDB photo doesn't do him any favours, but I saw him in Happy Go Lucky and I think he'd be as close to perfect as is humanly possible. Also, he looks a bit like the Paul Kidby version of Carrot... perhaps he ought to go to the gym a bit more just in case.
Annabel Scholey - Sally/Angua
She could be either, but more likley Sally. She was Lauren in Being Human (the vampire that Mitchell turns in series 1).

I've never been a fan of CSI personally. I'd much prefer it be a fantasy version of The Bill but with a lot more laughs
