Steve Coogan is a fantastic character actor and could easily play Rincewind and also has the lean physique of a natural coward good at running away over long distances

I'm still dubious about how good this will be
my expectations aren't that high after Hogfather, so I may be pleasantly surprised.
I'll still watch it when it is on
