Now, for the first time, one of the stories from Wiltshire-based Terry Pratchett’s hugely popular Discworld series is to be adapted into a TV film. And the £6million Sky One production will feature a host of familiar faces, including one of Britain’s best-loved actors, Sir David Jason, in a starring role.

Hogfather will be the first time a book from Pratchett’s Discworld series has been made into a feature-length film.

It will be shown in two parts, combining live action with state-of-the-art computer-generated sequences.

The channel promises more famous faces from both sides of the Atlantic to join Only Fools and Horses star Sir David, who will play the role of Albert, a grumpy former wizard.

Hogfather, the third book in Pratchett’s series, will be screened over Christmas. It will be filmed in studios in Romania, where the snow and mountain ranges required for the film’s setting are just two hours away.

Fabulous news, and a must-buy DVD.
