The Hogfather
There were parts I loved - "Out of Cheese Error" FANTASTIC! And a couple more that escape me right now. I really liked a lot of the characters, Susan in particular. But there were times I found it a bit dull. Maybe it was the pacing? Although some of the jokes fell flat with me.
I get the very distinct feeling that it's a bit like HHGG: it's great in book form, but loses something when it goes to the screen. I'm guessing on this - I've never read the book.
I didn't hate it by any means, but I wandered off so many times. Also, it seemed like Marc Warren basically copied Johnny Depp's version of Willy Wonka, which distracted me every single time he was on the screen.
I have a feeling that with the writer's strike still going, I'm going to be watching a lot of British TV in the near future. One of these days I *will* check out Life on Mars. Not right now, though. I want to watch it when I can actually pay attention instead of being distracted by DW.
