Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather
In Discworld, it is the night before Hogswatch and the Hogfather (that folly fat man who brings presents to the kiddies) is missing…
But if the presents aren’t delivered the sun will not rise tomorrow morning. So another supernatural entity, who also knows where everyone lives, has stepped in… Death. While his Ho, Ho, Ho, could do with some work, his granddaughter, Susan has to find the real Hogfather. Will there be enough belief in the Hogfather to make the sun come up? It’s a dark time of year… You better watch out…
Starring Sir David Jason, Michelle Dockery, Nigel Planer and Marc Warren, the double BAFTA winning mini series is the first live-action adaptation of a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel and remains the highest rating show on SKY1 of all time.

Together, they embark on a journey encountering dragons, talking swords and Tim Curry’s evil Trymon, to the very edge of the Disc.
