I would love for that to happen, but they've been talking about doing that series for a very long time. Until I see a trailer, I remain sceptical.
That said, I wonder who they'll get to play Vimes.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I wonder who they'll get to play the Patrician. Alas, that Alan Rickman is no longer with us.

Pratchett had views on who should play some of the characters. The Patrician's description was based on Jeremy Irons (who played him in The Colour of Money). Charles Dance was very good as the Patrician in the adaptation of Going Postal.
He also envisioned Pete Postlethwaite as Vimes, but alas Pete is also gone.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I kind of always picture the Patrician as not far off from Monty Burns, personally.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Ultimately, the two eps are not similar, but this week's Who did put me in mind of Crackers Don't Matter.

I see Supergirl was working around an absence of Melissa Benoist's. I wonder if this is when she was on Broadway.

I know I mentioned it before (a while ago), but here's the story about Colin Baker being left tied to a pole during filming Dr. Who.
