Synopsis
Hogswatchnight is fast approaching, and the Hogfather (that jolly fat man who delivers presents to the kiddies) is missing. But it's vital that all the presents are delivered, otherwise the sun won't rise tomorrow. However, there is another supernatural entity who can be everywhere at once and, most importantly, knows where everybody lives. And Death reckons that with a false beard and a few cushions, it might just work. And while Death is busy working out the mysteries of climbing down chimneys and drinking sherry, it's up to Susan to track down the real Hogfather. It's a dark time of the year. There are monsters afoot. And some of them look just like us. HO HO HO. You'd better watch out ...Terry Pratchett's bestseller, adapted and directed by Vadim Jean, is a two-part live-action/CGI film starring David Jason, which premiered on Sky One in December 2006.
Review
I really don't like reading scripts but this one is totally different. I was utterly enthralled by the pictures, sketchings, and sidebits - it was all very lively and most important very very easy to read making the script easy to understand.
The pictures and illustrations helped me to understand how you can go from a sketch and then see the actor in the clothes, or the stage set go from a drawing to reality.
I have to say I loved it all and if you never read another script again, just read this one - you wont regret it.
