@JaceValm There is a movie, the BBC made "The Colour of Magic" - a mini series, actually - and to tell you the truth, I think they miss the cast by a mile. Except for Vetinari, who is Jeremy Irons and I think he is rather good at it and Tim Curry, playing a wizard, don´t remember which one. On the plus side, the DID cast Christopher Lee as Death´s voice :)
I dunno, I have so many songs on my list. There's "Let It Be," "Requiem For the Gods," "Lillium," and saving the three best for last "That's Death," "The Galaxy Song," OR "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." It sucks having so many good songs to choose from. I have no idea what I want people to hear at my viewing. Oh, I'll waste my final wish to see to it that whatever song I do pick be played.
@happypotato99 I have to feel sorry for ya for not having the games... I've read every single book, seen all the movies and I have the games.. But that's 'cause my parents are obsessed over Discworld ! ^^
hehe, that is true, they are both a bit incompetent. Though I would prefer if Bloody stupid johnson was kept actorless. As soon as you see a face for the guy i'd think the humour would suffer
I never really thought who would play who, but i think liz smith would make a better nanny ogg than granny weatherwax. What do you think of Chris Barrie as Rincewind?
...discworld? on amiga ? wtf ? the first one was only for pc and maybe psx (although i dont think so) besides this is the second part and that came out only for pc and psx
What makes Discworld funny is the way it's written. The jokes and funny descriptions don't work in any other medium, unless the narrator is speaking the entire time. The two movies they made just weren't funny.

You've got to admit, the man makes a very convincing argument.
RIP Terry. You fought the good fight.
Always look on the bright side of death...
Tupolev and just before you draw your terminal breath
Eric Idle is the only man who has ever made me comfortable with the idea of death.
Bought every single book, watched all the movies, tried to track down the games, and my dad calls me obsessive over the Discworld. As if.
AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.
RIP :(
I'm seriously contemplating choreographing a tap dance routine for this and performing it at IDWCon dressed as Death.
So....didja ever do it? ;) If not- what are ya waiting for mate?
@@avosmash2121 No, not to the song - copyright issues. :/ Did do a capella tap as death, though! It's on my channel.
Looks like life isn't the only thing to look on the bright side of!
THIS is going to be my funeral song.

Oh, and I think that the Pythons would be awesome for the wizards.
Just hilarious! I LOVE Monty Python and their good old sarcasm ... Cheers, see you on the other side! ;-)
Frank Sinatra: That's life
Eric Idle: That's death
death tax...... it aint free to die.
GOG please, I really NEED this game.
Ooo that brings back memories. Thanks for posting.
Discworld (and Eric Idle) at his finest.

Eric Idle. = Badass
Gosh, I wish I'd been born a couple years earlier to play this game ._.
To everyone wishing to play this, you can play it on Windows 7/8 and even Android platforms using ScummVM and the appropriate files (piratebay).
When terry wrote the character rincewind he said that eric idle was who he had in mind
Someone should reanimate this in flash and fill in all the gaps between movements
Oh, look, it's the new ED for Another.
Perkiest suicide song ever.
Well, at least as I imagine Rincewind.
love you eric. wow.
You know its not fair that your dead a lot longer than your alive, oh well I guess that's life................Oh wait no its death X_x
ooh no, I wouldn't want the 'I-Dont-believe-it-guy' as Albert. He's too upper class.
And David as Mr Two-chairs? You mad!?
@happypotato99 I have to feel sorry for ya for not having the games... I've read every single book, seen all the movies and I have the games.. But that's 'cause my parents are obsessed over Discworld ! ^^
yeah, I agree. I mean, David Jason did a great Albert, but I just couldn't see him as our cowardly friend Rincewind
So Eric Idle voiced Rincewind? Good fit.
Wish I had played those games.
Terry Jones - The Bursar.
The only thing i've ever been sure of is Rik Mayall as the voice of the raven :)
@JaceValm if animated, also WE NEED THIS
Brilliant song xDDD !
@ZoomingDakota 'Somebody' should? Be my guest!
HAHAHAAAAA
hehe, that is true, they are both a bit incompetent. Though I would prefer if Bloody stupid johnson was kept actorless. As soon as you see a face for the guy i'd think the humour would suffer
Who'd be The Dean? :)
Well, maybe animated or CGI movie 'cause Eric doesn't look like Rincewind.
I never really thought who would play who, but i think liz smith would make a better nanny ogg than granny weatherwax.
What do you think of Chris Barrie as Rincewind?
...discworld? on amiga ? wtf ? the first one was only for pc and maybe psx (although i dont think so) besides this is the second part and that came out only for pc and psx
this guy must really hate frank sinatra
I thought it was a DOS game. Do they have a Windows interface for it?
A lot of those would be good, but isn't Dibbler supposed to be weasel-esque? Gervais is more like a hamster.
Simple really, you just can't beat Eric Idle. Esp as Rincewind...
Erh, no offence meant, but he did once try it and believe you me, it was awful. Eric Idle is and was the perfect v.a. for this role.
totally anti suicide song
