Surprised to see The Watch (series based on Terry Pratchett's Watch characters) just pop up on BBC 2 with minimal advertising. I thought that something like that would have been pretty heavily promoted.
Having watched it I can see why. It wasn't very good. If you know the books then they'd just fucked up all the characters enough to be annoying and lose the traits that had made them endearing. The plot was a mish-mash of various books but with none of the cleverness or social commentary and it was in some weird steampunk universe which looked like it had struggled with the budget.
Yeah, it's been out a little while but I couldn't bring myself to watch it, I'm a bit of a Pratchett fan too and I think it might be a bit too much of a departure from the original and annoy me.
