vivdunstan: Photo of some of my books (books)
40 years ago today "The Colour of Magic" by Terry Pratchett was first published, starting a hugely popular and successful series of Discworld fantasy books, that are adored by many, including me and Martin. Endlessly inventive, wittily insightful, and laugh out loud funny, these books are an absolute joy. Thank you Terry.

Rather surprised that none of the Sky One TV versions of Terry Pratchett novels seem available to stream in the UK any more. Not even via Sky that I can see. We'd really like to watch Going Postal again soon, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Discworld. So nabbed us a secondhand DVD copy. Even those are getting scarce. It's also available in Blu-ray.

The 2010 UK DVD version of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal ("A Tale of Love and Revenge ... and Stamps"). The DVD cover features Richard Coyle's Moist Von Lipwig in the centre, holding out a letter. Beside him are various characters. Fellow cast members include Claire Foy, David Suchet, Andrew Sachs and Charles Dance.

EDIT: It does seem to be on YouTube, but that won't be a legal version uploaded by the copyright holder. So it's absolutely not something we want to watch. Nor will it be as good quality on our big TV. So many things are lurking on YouTube, but not legally uploaded ...
