So who will they cast as Sam, Carrot, Colon and Nobby? (Please no David Jason this time - pretty please.)

Maybe someone will update the now 6-year old wiki page abut this project.

NOICE!!

the Sky Tv adaptations where ok, but didnt sit right with me.

hopefully the Beeb will do a better job.

Whoever they cast as Sam Vimes had better have impeccable deadpan comic timing AND gravitas.

It's all gonna be about the casting. The watch stuff is my favourite by Pratchett.
I'll love it or hate it.

Sounds interesting.
