Blog From The Bench

A couple of weeks ago, I saw online that one of my Christmas wishes from the DVD Verdict letters last week came true: The Discworld, the flat medieval world where everything's just a little bit skewed from the prolific Terry Pratchett's comic novels, will finally see live-action life on screen -- at least on the small screen.

It's a British TV production of Hogfather, in which Death takes a different holiday, subbing for the jolly guy who brings gifts on the Discworld. Trouble is, it's a British TV production, which means that it isn't guaranteed to show up Stateside.

So this year I'm starting my Christmas wish list early. Please, Sci-Fi Channel, will you pick up Hogfather this December?
