Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather"

If you haven't seen Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather", from the BBC SkyOne presentation, YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS! Especially this time of year. It's an awesome adaptation of his book, and is sure to become a timeless Christmas holiday tradition. Great for kids, and for adults. Here's the DVD cover of it:

To my knowledge, this only aired in the UK and Japan, not in the USA, and was shown back in 2006 - and got not only rave reviews, but a HUGE airtime following. I love Teatime! (It's pronounced tee-AH-tim-EH, thank you very much.)

Here's the Amazon review for it, which is a pretty good description:

"Based on a fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, The Hogfather is an extraordinary satire-adventure set in the mythical realm of Discworld, a kind of parallel-universe version of Earth. Discworld’s alternative to Santa Claus is the Hogfather, who also chases around in a sled delivering gifts to children (on a Christmas-like night known as Hogwatch), but who looks like, well, a wild hog and is pulled through the skies not by reindeer but a bunch of grunting porkers with long, dangerous teeth. Just as the Hogfather is about to complete his annual mission to leave toys for kids under their Hogwatch trees, a specter makes a deal with a professional assassin to kill the jolly old fellow. The job is farmed out to a psychotic monster named Teatime (Marc Warren), who sets about trying to get to the Hogfather through, of all things, the Tooth Fairy. While danger stalks these immortal characters, Death (Ian Richardson) himself takes the Hogfather’s place on his magical rounds, with comic consequences. Meanwhile, a governess named Susan (Michelle Dockery), possessor of a strange secret and awesome powers, determines that the Hogfather is in danger. She sets about trying to find him and discovers Teatime’s plot, while a cluster of clumsy wizards (led by Joss Ackland) try to make sense of what has happened and what they can do about it. It’s hard to explain the charm and wit of The Hogfather, which is full of quirky, ironic humor, except to say that it’s easy to fall in love with this British television special and its dark delights. (Some a bit too dark for younger viewers.) The cast includes a very funny Tony Robinson of Black Adder. --Tom Keogh"

Anyway, for your viewing pleasure, I've uploaded the two parts (from a DVD rip), here are the specs:

Part 1: AVI, 16×9 MPEG-4 XviD MP3 Stereo, 700mb, length: 1:35:25
Part 2: AVI, 16×9 MPEG-4 XviD MP3 Stereo, 700mb, length: 1:35:51

These are on MultiUpload.com, so there should be multiple places to download it from.

I have the 720p HD rips as well (from the SkyONe HD channel; to my knowledge, this was never sold as a BlueRay DVD), but they're considerably larger; if you like the movie, and want to watch it in perfect quality, I'd recommend buying it from Amazon:

Regular DVD
Limited Edition DVD (only available on the UK Amazon site)

(Of course, I might be convinced to upload the files, or burn them to a disc...)

I also have the Colour of Magic, which was really good as well (also only shown in the UK on SkyOne, in 2008.) Definitely worth a watch!
