Terry Pratchett's Nac Mac Feegle

[staticsan]

Is anyone else here a fan of Terry Pratchett?
I ask with special reference to his Tiffany series as per this link which ties in with my other post in the pics department.

Long time TP fan, here. The NacMacFeegle actually first made an appearance in Carpe Jugulum. In true PTerry style, the Feegles take certain Scottish stereotypes and turn the wick up so far the knob falls off. :-) But he does it without denigrating the original.

Subsequent research shows that "The Colour Of Magic", produced for SKY TV will finally get to the air in the US beginning November 23 on ION TV. ION ran "The Hogfather" last year (happily, Hogfather got released on DVD almost immediately after the airing...got a copy...love it!).

Keep-a-you-eyes-peeled...not only do we get Tim Curry as the bad guy but Jeremy Irons is playing Lord Vetinari, the Patrician. Irons is perfect...there's a short clip on Youtube with him and it's great.

I'm currently reading "Going Postal" in which the Patrician has a very important role...how Pratchett ever conceived of such a perfect character totally blows my mind. The way that Vetinari manages to keep Leonard of Quirm (Leonardo Da Vinci) under wraps so that he doesn't create any of his devastating weapons for anybody else is such perfect plotting and subterfuge...brilliant!
