Why, oh why can't I find any clips from House of Cards on You Tube, leaving me unable to demonstrate to an American friend why the moment in the Hogfather film where Death says 'You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment' is, while admittedly gratuitous and borderline OOC, screamingly funny?

This sounds more fun than I expected! I'm sorry I missed it...

It was really good fun - it's an excellent adaptation (well, I had the odd niggle, but nothing major), and conveys an impressive amount of the underlying philosophy of the book. Much better than I expected, actually.

I'd been wondering if it was worth getting or not. I might get it now...

It's definitely worth seeing. There's the odd moment in the first half which would have benefitted from editing, but it's one of the best adaptations I've seen in ages.

Shame Death's plastic mask is so plasticy, though.
