how did I not know about Colour of magic being made into a TV thing?
I didn't get on with the Hogfather adaptation. For one it's one of my least favourite of his books, and I couldn't stand the voice of the bad guy.

One of the boys bought CoM on DVD
I've yet to watch it... I think I know what will be happening tonight! I like the hogfather adaption - if anything, for Susan when she transformed in to Death mode.

The Colour of Magic was great.
David Jason as Rincewind and... Was it Corey Haim as Twoflower? One of the Goonies anyway. Great casting and wonderful effects.

No
It was Sean Astin, aka Samwise Gamgee.

But that just took me far too long to remember.

That's the Goonie!

Honestly?
Colour Of Magic was genius, much better than the first one.

Also, it's got Tim Curry as a bad guy, can't go wrong!

EDIT: It's actually Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic mixed into one film.

I will download it this very night!!!
here's a question. when you read the books, how old did you picture Rincewind to be? He's shown with a white beard and stuff on the covers, but I kind of put him in his 20s. Would make me sense to me.

Sadly
I've still not got round to reading Colour Of Magic.

I'm going to start getting the books soon though, my housemate's Mum has all of the books, and has agreed to lend me them.

I agree with this.
I always pictured him as a mid-twenties neophyte.
