It looks like The Mob and SkyOne's excellent adaptation of Hogfather
is finally coming to US television.

Hogfather will make its US premiere on ION Television at 7/6c on
Sunday November 25th.

I understand that ION might not be that well known a channel - I've
spoken to a couple of people that didn't realise they could already
receive it.

For more information about the adaptation visit

The trailer for the US broadcast can be found at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPfk3TPpr8Q

Borders have managed to secure an exclusive US DVD distribution of
Hogfather - you will be able to purchase Hogfather from Borders from
13th November 2007 - the DVD will later go on general US release
from March 2008.

A few words from Terry:

Various people have been enquiring about my health and so this,
short of jokes like "at last I can't remember the 60's, so I was
there" is how we think the story goes...

As far as we can tell, I had a minor stroke about two years ago. I
didn't know it at the time. I was working hard on Wintersmith and
then immediately on Making Money and the fact that my typing seemed
more erratic than usual I put down to hard work and, not to put too
finer point on it, old age creeping on. It was only a couple of
months ago that I was thinking about having an MRI scan, mostly
because I had just typed a sentence that I couldn't understand!

It appears to have been "one of those things". Frankly, over the
years I have suffered from "those things" so often that I might as
well check into the Royal Things hospital. The only other effect
seems to be slightly more tiredness and less mental alertness at the
end of the day.

And that's it. I was astonished to get through the six hour
twenty-five minutes signing at Forbidden Planet in London the other
week and still be in a shape to go out for a business dinner
afterwards, especially since my previous best time of five hours
fifty-eight minutes left me hallucinating. Clearly adrenalin is the
best medicine. In the longer term, though, there really is going to
have to be a reduction in touring. What I will add, though, is that
all current commitments including the Australian tour, the UK
Discworld Convention next year and the proposed US Discworld
Convention in 2009 will be honoured, provided my health is no worse
than it is now.
