Re: Discworld news

This taken from the Discworld Monthly list I subscribe to.
Of interest to fans in the States and Oz.

RHI Films have just put up a poster and brief synopsis of the The
Colour of Magic adaptation on their website:

----------

It looks like The Mob and SkyOne's excellent adaptation of Hogfather
is finally coming to US television.

Hogfather will make its US premiere on ION Television at 7/6c on
Sunday November 25th.

I understand that ION might not be that well known a channel - I've
spoken to a couple of people that didn't realise they could already
receive it.

For more information about the adaptation visit

The trailer for the US broadcast can be found at:

Borders have managed to secure an exclusive US DVD distribution of
Hogfather - you will be able to purchase Hogfather from Borders from
13th November 2007 - the DVD will later go on general US release
from March 2008.

See http://www.bordersstores.com/ for more information.

In related Hogfather news I've heard a rumour that Hogfather will be
released on DVD in Australia in early December. Having checked a
couple of on-line DVD suppliers based in Australia I have found that
they are listing it as available for pre-order.
