    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The last line, spoken by the late Terry Pratchett (as a postman), is "That's a bit of an embuggerance". This is a reference to Sir Terry's diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease, which he always referred to as 'A Wretched Embuggerance".
    • Goofs
      When the Postmaster goes up onto the roof to pray, the clacks are working, although Adora they were all frozen and out of commission.
    • Quotes

      Moist Von Lipwig: Has anyone ever told you, how beautiful you look, when considering violence?

    • Crazy credits
      The author of the book on which this miniseries is based, Terry Pratchett, is credited in the opening credits of both parts with the line '"Mucked About" by Terry Pratchett'

    Excellent adaptation
    Of the three Sky adaptations of Pratchett's discworld novels this is by far the best. The storyline is true to the book although,as with the other two discworld films, since the history has not been covered by previous stories, more explanation is required which can get in the way of the plot on occasion.

    Clair Foy's Adora Belle Dearheart is a little too jovial and Charles Dance is not quite menacing enough as the Patrician. Nonetheless the performances are very good and certainly believable enough for a fantasy world.

    Sir Terry's influence on the script is obvious and the Post Office building is magnificent in it's conception.

    If Sky can keep this up then I look forward to adaptations of the witches and watch novels with eager anticipation.
