Is this miniseries UK only, or did it air in the US?
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Unfortunately, I thought the production was generally uneven and didn't quite work for me. That's one of my favorite books, too.
I agree, and felt the same about the Colour of Magic. Postal really captured the feeling of the Discworld, whereas I felt the other two were more 'kiddiefied.'
Then again, I don't see DW as a kid's show.
The production values and casting on Postal were perfect. Charles Dance is an awesome baddie, and in an interview he talked about how many, many Pratchett fans flew to the production to be extras and grumbled that Vetinari should have had dark hair. But as soon as Dance began walking around the set, they were totally accepting.
I'm not sure what Mr Pump looked like in my mind, but I loved the visual character.

More like the silent Golem movie golem, I suppose, but I can see how they'd want to create their own look. It's not like there's a vast assortment of golems from stage and screen to choose from.
Yes, Frank, this showing was UK-only, though BBCA would be foolish not to acquire it at some point.

Cereal: bonny, where did you find that interview? I'd love to read more about the production, and acquire the actual DVD if it has extras like a 'Making Of'.

There are a bunch of cast interviews on the Sky 1 site for the show.

Joseph Fiennes cast as Merlin in another retelling of Arthur (called "Camelot").

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Will he act this time? Is Starz pay cable? I don't know if I get it.

As long as he doesn't have to yell "There's gonna be another blackout!" he should be fine.
(Seriously, WOW did that get old, fast.)
(I'm still resentful about its cancellation. I like Jack Davenport on my teevee.)

I think Starz must be pay cable. It's one of those odd channels - somehow associated with Encore.
