Welcome to the forum lyttle182 :laugh: . There's nothing on their twitter feed yet and that's usually a good place to check :)

tv ankh morpork

Hi I am a new reader of discworld but i love the mob TV films i was wondering why in going postal ankh morpork looks so different than to the color of magic. I think how they showed the city in the color of magic was very accurate or is it a change of season or something

can anyone tell me

Welcome to the site, Mr Hennerzz! :laugh:

It's a combination of a few things. Firstly the location. They had more money to spend on Going Postal, and they filmed it on location in Hungary.

But the Ankh-Morpork in the books is somewhat different in Colour of Magic and Going Postal. There are almost 30 books between the two and, without going into too much detail, much of A-M gets destroyed at one stage.

The A-M of Colour of Magic is almost Medieval, where as the A-M of Going Postal is practically Victorian. I blame the Monks of Time. ;)

With UA to be released to coincide with Euro '12 do you reckon they will get many real footballers old or new to have cameo/supporting roles?

Beckham as Macaona? Gary Lineaker and Paul Gascoigne sitting in the stands? The kind of in jokes that don't work in prose. Recast the faculty with olddies a la Bobby Charlton? Pele?
