Discworld on TV

Aaaaaalllrighty then. The Discworld collection of novels is one of the best comedy, action, adventure, fantasy worlds ever created. A shiteload of characters have graced the pages of a shiteload of novels and now after 23 years of books Discworld is heading to TV. This could be the single greatest thing since the wonder years was taken off the air but it could also be mighty crappy. Personally I think its going to be cool, its a british production to it keeps those crappy americans out of it and it is long enough to be cool (2 x 2 hour episodes). So fire up those VCRs in the UK and send me a copy because I know it will take 18 years to make it to Australia.
