Christopher Lee stole my VHS of this!! True story...I was on the set of the BBC's "Gormenghast" in 1999 and got talking with him about this and he said he'd never seen it and asked too borrow it and I said sure as long as he signed it for me....never saw it again!! Still a legend! 1,2, many...erm...lots!
Hah! That's awesome. I loved the BBC production of Gormenghast. So true to the books. (And rightly decided to ignore the third book, which is best not spoken of.) I forget which of the actors had actually known Mervin Peake while he was alive. It was either Lee or Richardson.
I'd just like to say that Terry Pratchett does a great job of writing the existential angst associated with being a god/eternal, and weaving said dread into the mortal mundane. It is so weird, yet works so well.
Memory is a funny thing. I actually thought the argument about the colour of infinity was between Arthur Dent and Marvin, in a Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy book.
The discword gods can't spell: once a king was blessed with everything he touched turning to glod. Being the name of a dwarf, eventually the kingdom became known for its short, foul-tempered citizens.
He joins the Klatchian Foreign Legion, it doesn't work, so he goes on a bender and finds he can't imbibe cuz even though he can't forget anything, the two exceptions are how to get drunk, and how the knight moves in chess. 😂
Welcome to Mexico...Almost nobody in here understands why I like pratchett. So it's nice to know you're at least in the same country and you like him too.
How good is the translation? I swear the French loved Jerry Lewis simply because of the translation and dubbing were excellent. (Of course, I didn't ask you if you read it in English, sorry)
It really is Turtles all the Way down. This is a holofractal universe. It is projected from, and collapses into conscious awareness, and that is what you are.
Your body, and your mind, are just one of an infinite number of iterations of the universe. The universe is one and everything in it is just a fraction of it. Tag! You’re it!
Find it funny that in a completely fictional world, they use normal dollars instead of gold like most other fantasy settings. Actually there was a piece of gold in one scene.
Terry Pratchett wrote an actual book which goes a bit into detail about the monetary system of the Discworld (it's called "Making Money" but I wouldn't consider it a good starting point as far as Discworld novels go). But baseline: They are not actually using gold coins. The Ankh-Morpork dollar is noted to have a gold content roughly comparable to that of sea water. They're technically still bound to the gold standard but that doesn't work out for them too well because Ankh-Morpork, in spite of being a rather rich city state, doesn't actually own a lot of gold.
Thank you so much, I've been ill and just watched The Color of Magic....just like the game I hate having to leave Diskworld, for the real one where I feel like crap....Even has Christopher Lee!!!! Yay!!!
I mean obviously it's a plot device to drive the story I just find it odd to not think a bit further ahead then to just use it there to push the story a bit further because its something that will pop up again and again and you cant keep writing something in the same way over and over its lazy
@@digitig What Tim said, and also that they'd need at least two teeth to pay for all three licences, and that's if they were accepted at their stated value. Took $200 of tooth AND a broken harp to buy a $15 guitar. Therefore $225 of licence fees might potentially demand $3000 of teeth and 13.3 broken harps, at the same unfair exchange rate. I guess that's Discworld economics for you.
@Something Mildly Homophobic Speaking as both a life long fan of Pratchet, and a massive weeb, I've no more authority than you have to tell anyone to leave, but I can confidently call you an asshole.
In D&D terms, she would be a sorcerer, her grandfather is Death and her biological father wielded that power at some point, albeit however briefly, so it's more likely that her magic runs in her veins and is hereditary. This hypothesis is evidenced by her Birthmark being received from her father.
Caused through the laws of magic in Discworld, Susan inherited some traits from her grandfather Death. Even though they are not related by blood. (since Death is only a skeleton)
For some reason I don't need to understand, "FOUR FRIED RATS, MEDIUM RARE CRAB SANDWICH...AND A HARD BOILED EGG." cracks me up every time 😂

It's sad that he's no longer with us.May he rest in peace.Always will be a fan of his work.
the argument about the colour of the infinite.. the best scene in the whole book

Look at there eyes, Death's are blue and the guru's are black.
"I can blow anything me."
"Really? That must make you very popular"

Thank you, thank you and thank you again! I am currently living in Mexico and for me Terry Pratchett is a little slice of home!
OK I am just learning of this today. This cartoon series is it on DVD maybe VHS does anybody know how I can see all of this? Or is this all there is?
Did you ever find it?
@@myrojyn he ded
There are 41 books, and several live action adaptations.
The discword gods can't spell: once a king was blessed with everything he touched turning to glod. Being the name of a dwarf, eventually the kingdom became known for its short, foul-tempered citizens.
Death has a white horse. And his name is Binky
Does he makes lemonade though...
So wait...did Death just go out drinking?
Sure sounds like it, doing your job on your daughter and son-in-law would put a number on your psyche.
He joins the Klatchian Foreign Legion first... then heads to the Mended Drum for one epic binge.

I'm sorry about that. Hopefully in the last ten years you've found another local fan!

I mean it basicaly started of being a coin around 1500, the word just sorta got adopted and translated.
@@dcraven.0ne587 Yeah but it's implied they still use regular gold coins, they shouldn't be doing that until the next hundred or thousand years.

Welcome to another episode of why is this in my recommended? First answer goes to RUclips! What say you?
genuinely impressed with the raven voice acting
Death is... CHRISTOPHER LEE
@@TeeDubzz YES
7:50 oy mate you got a loicense for that there harp
If your referring to imp y celyn it says it's roughly translated as bud of the Holly, so he would be buddy Holly that he transforms into😊
Weird plot hole but why not have used the diamond to pay for the license
Because the Narrative Imperative demands that the story goes on.

The troll could have paid for his own licence but had no reason to pay for the others'. But when he broke the harp he had an obligation to replace it.

I'm getting a very 'Overlord' vibe from death in this.
alamaxout Just because they’re both skeletons?
Quite amazing
Is that was the first reincarnation of Morpheus?
Death is my sprit animal.
Anyone else get a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure vibe from that first minute and eighteen seconds?

What kinda show have I stumbled upon?
Oy mate, i've been asking myself the exact same thing... As a french, it is quite fun I tell you :)
Fantasy, of a sort. Terry Prachette had a lovely way of mixing high fantasy aspects with low fantasy and realism
You've stumbled upon my childhood. ^ ^
Is Susan a warlock with a pact to an Undying?

Love the books not sure about the cartoons.
The cartoons were janky, and had to skip over details, but they did still do a great job of bringing certain scenes to life.
Why did that carriage blow up like it was a gasoline car in an action movie?
Those weren't electric headlights, they were oil lamps. Smash them and the oil goes everywhere, the flame on the wick lights it and there you go.
Lolling at the pervy jokes. xD
great story 😊
OMG Nobbs and Colin voice actors are spot on... Though nobbys character design isn't.
Why did they explode?
Guess that girl with the mustache is a dwarf
Gimli has a sister like that from what I remember
Ah, Llamedos, should be twinned with Llareggub.
You not Elvish, are you
I came here looking for women of negotiable affections and found no such thing.
What did I just watch? O_o
A very old cartoon reposted on the internet

What book is this based on?
Soul music
YES!!!
NO SHIT ? that's if its true great story
