@RamenCatholic OK just checked & 8pm USC is 2am GMT & other parts of Europe. Still works for me as I'm nocturnal.

@RamenCatholic If I'm a complete discworld noob should I stay away, or would it be fun anyway? And/or detrimental to my eventual inevitable dive into that universe?

@aburka come along!
I'd say it's pretty light on general Discworld spoilers & can be watched as a stand-alone.

@RamenCatholic Will be busy dancing for NYE but we'll see about Christmas Eve

@aburka this is acceptable, but I hope you find the time for part 2 soonish!

@RamenCatholic I'd be interested but sure how to go about it. Is it like a watch party on prime or something?

RamenCatholic, 5 months ago

@sentient_water we stream it on whatever we can find, then livetoot. We get out of sync sometimes, but that's fun too.

#Hogfather is available on tubi, pluto, roku, peacock, plex.

@RamenCatholic Awesome. Yeah I could do that. I had no idea Pratchett's stuff had been put on the screen (apart from Good Omens recently) so it's pretty exciting. I'll say already I've not read a lot of Pratchett, despite liking it & I once went to see a play which was a student adaptation of Mort & it was hands down the best play I'd ever seen.

So I guess I have some Christmas/New Year's plans now.

The BBC has also produced some radio adaptations of Terry Pratchett's novels. They come round on Radio 4 Extra every so often. IMHO, they're not as good as the books, but people do seem to enjoy them.

@RamenCatholic Will you be tooting reminders closer to the time? I have total time blindness.

RamenCatholic, 5 months ago

@sentient_water probably :) follow the #MonsterdonAlert tag to get updates, too!

@RamenCatholic What's tag? I admit I've not fully explored mastodon.
