Full marks, it really gave me a buzz in the Christmas season.This article is about the character. The perfect locations - Death's Domain, Unseen University, the Tooth Fairy's castle, all brilliant! I'm so glad Pratchett let them do this, and I can only hope and pray that they continue - let's see The Last Continent, Jingo, Maskerade, Reaper Man, Small Gods! If I have one tiny, insignificant complaint, it's that we didn't see Ankh-Morpork in all its bustling, grimy glory - no shots of the River Ankh, marketplaces awash with grubby punters and, of course, Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler! But I will say this - Sky One, Vladim Jean and the rest involved did a wonderful job on such a small budget, and gave us a far better and more faithful adaptation than Hollywood could ever have mustered. The faithfulness to the story - keeping it at nearly 4 hours to ensure the minimum amount of cutting. Where do I start with this absolutely perfect adaptation? The spot-on casting - Susan, Death, Albert, Nobby Nobbs, Ponder Stibbons, all brought to life wonderfully.
Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?ĭeath: You need to believe in things that aren't true. some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged.
you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. That sort of thing.ĭeath: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and THEN show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.ĭeath: Yes. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.ĭeath: Yes. You're saying that humans need fantasies to make life bearable.ĭeath: No.
Death: What would have happened if you hadn't saved him?ĭeath: A mere ball of flaming gas would have illuminated the world.
