Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 30-4-2020: The Fall

30th April, 2020.


Hmmm … 

Stuff is — truly — going on.

You’ve possibly realised I’m a Terry Pratchett fan: have been since I first read his work, back in the 1980s.

And I’m one of the — seemingly many — fans who’ll be boycotting BBC America’s The Watch as, when and if it gets a UK showing.

It’s wrong, on so many levels.

Including the casting.

At any rate, because of that, I’m planning to avoid it.

But also very pleased when the Guardian announced that Narrativia, the Pratchett family multi-media company had done deals with a couple of production companies: to produce. versions more faithful to the novels.

I’m looking forward to those.

The BBC America version is both wrong … and insulting to the fans, it’s American audience, and Sir Terry’s memory.
