The watch tv series

[fulciflesheater]

It does seem to have ground to a halt, doesn't it?

(Welcome to the boards, by the way!!).

I've had a look on Twitter and Narrativia have a Twitter account, but have not posted anything yet.

I have dropped a tweet to TP via Twitter and asked if there is any news on The Watch and Good Omens.

Thanks, good to be here!

Well it would appear that the project has lost quite a lot of steam then. Thats a real shame. Considering the current offering of TV and film I really think a Pratchett adaptation would fit in quite nicely!

Couldn't be any worse than Splash, The Voice, etc, etc, etc.

Narrativia appears to be dead. Since the announcement of its creation in 2012 there has been

• A website with just a holding jpg image and no content
  A twitter feed which has sent no tweets
  A facebook account with no posts from its owners

Much as I would like to think things are going on; after 18 months absolutely nothing has happened and nothing appears to be happening

Yet another false dawn in DW and other TP addaptions

When I spoke to Rob (and Rod Brown was there) at Hogwatch he said that an annoucement was close as they were just tying up a few things.

I heard that scripting was well underway for The Watch when I saw Sir Terry, Rob, and Rod on stage at Brighton a few months ago. They also revealed that Good Omens is also in the pipeline. I'm guessing that, at the moment, it is a case of no news is good news.

Like Terry tends to say I'll believe nothing til its on the screen

But presumably he was talking about outside film companies, not his own one as such.

I'll keep the same stance. Less disappointment. If I hear they've casted people and are filming i'll get excited but the planning phase here is a tad long to be completely optimistic for me.

I will ask Rob again when I see him at Eastercon in April, all being well as Terry is a GOH there then.

That's kind of how I feel about Troll Bridge.

Taken a little while all right

It will come out they just want to make the best job they can of it, as they know the eye's of the Discworld fandom are upon them.

With regards to the Watch TV series...
Which Ankh-Morpork books are they adapting? I don't know very much about this project, but I think I got the jist of it. I believe that they're making NEW content with a casefic per week.

Does anyone fancy guessing as to what the new plots will be?

 

[Tonyblack]

They aren't planning to adapt any of the books as far as I know.
