It was certainly a well-written announcement... sad. Speaking of things Pratchett, I believe that ION Television (a network I hadn't even heard of until I recently fixed up my HDTV antenna) showed "Hogfather," the movie, recently... and around here, at least, I think it's showing tonight and tomorrow. It's four hours long and seems very true to the book.... although Nobby Nobbs appeared far more human than I would have expected.
