The Sword and Laser discussion

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone here has watched the new documentary/ dramatisation of Terry Pratchetts life. I found it both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Pratchett is portrayed by Paul Kaye, who does a stunning job of playing Pratchett.
I will warn you now, if like me you loved Sir Terry you will find this very emotional, the interview with Neil Gaiman being a particular gut punch moment.
Not sure how anyone outside of the UK can watch this, but I imagine those that want to watch this stunning programme will find perfectly Legitimate way of doing so.

Had no idea this had even been broadcast. Thanks for the tip! Downloading in my iPlayer app now ...

Here in the US, I found someone had posted it on Vimeo. It brought a tear to my eye. It's amazing how much you can miss someone you've never actually met except through their books.

I almost didn't watch it - I didn't think it could be anything but mawkish and superficial, and I certainly didn't think any production team that I had previously seen work from could handle it as it needed to be done.
I was wrong. I watched it, and I am gad I did. It wasn't handled perfectly, but it was enormously better than what I had expected. Well done.

Actually from 2017.

That would explain why I hadn't seen it trailed or promoted in the TV guide. Oh well, I obviously missed it first time around ...
