SKY ONE Announces Hogfather dates
It's 29 November and now just 18 days to go to the event we have all been waiting for all year.

At the all-star Premiere of Hogfather at the Curzon Cinema in Mayfair, London, on Monday evening 27th November, Sky One announced that Hogfather will be shown over two nights, 17th and 18th December.

And this is confirmed in the December issue of the Sky Magazine, complete with a Hogfather cover, proving Hogfather is Sky One's biggest-ever festive drama
.
Part One will be shown on Sunday 17th at 8pm, with
Part Two shown on Monday 18th at 8pm.

And you can select your own start time with Sky One Multi-start (Go to Sky One any time from 8-10pm, press the red button on your Sky remote and choose a start time), so there really is no reason to miss it.

Inside the Sky Magazine are several mentions of Hogfather, including a 'Hog-tastic!' double-page spread on pages 14 and 15, plus on page 63 (17th Dec) is a very easy competition in which Sky are giving away 50 copies of Hogfather: The Illustrated Screenplay, signed by Terry of course.

And a special treat on Sky Three at 7pm on Sunday 10th December is Making of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather - an exclusive documentary going behind the scenes during the making of Hogfather - Not to be missed!

The good news is you probably still have time to get on the phone and order Sky now in time to watch Hogfather and, if you are feeling particularly well off, why not go the whole hog and get Sky HD service as Hogfather was made in HD and with full surround sound.

Terry and Sky One had very kindly arranged for a good many Discworld fans to attend the Premiere and we were treated to a cinema showing of Hogfather Part One and it was FANTASTIC! It really has to be seen, do not miss it!

Terry Christmas - SFX Christmas 2006

The cover of the Christmas 2006 issue of SFX is given over to Hogfather.

Susan played by Michelle Dockery, Mr Sideney by Nigel Planer, and DEATH played by, er, well DEATH

Not long to wait now, nearly there, it is almost December and Hogfather, the first live-action screen version of Discworld will be screened on Sky TV.

From what we have seen so far, the Director, Vadim Jean and the team at The Mob production company have done a brilliant job bringing Hogfather to the small screen.

The Christmas issue of SFX has 7 full pages of pictures and interviews with Terry and the stars of Hogfather.


So, if you haven't got your copy yet, get along to your newsagent and buy one, it will be £3.99 well spent.
