Hogfather, or Why don't I have Sky One?

Today  more than ever I regret that I am not in the UK at the moment. Ok, I have to admit, I did not want to look and did not look for fear of being disappointed. But.

This is so thrilling, there are hardly any words for it. It looks soooo much better than I had ever thought it would!
Parts of me even starts daring to hope that they won't mess it up!

Of course, they are going to mess it up, because they always do. Well, considering that today's the 18th already, they probably already have messed it up. I don't dare enter any convos about it for fear of spoilers...
Especially Susan... how could they NOT mess that one up? I guess none of the actors has actually gone so far as to read the books (as always), and hence they will not get that Susan is neither a Goth princess nor frigging Mary Poppins, and it is very likely that they make her switch from one role into the other without putting any thought into it. Poor, poor Susan, I don't think there will be anything left apart from the very stereotypes she is a parody of...

Oooh, they are so going to mess this up.

And yet, and yet, and yet... And yet and yet and yet...

I really don't know what to say, because whenever I try to put my pent-up fannish feelings of bliss into words something as elaborate as OMG LYEK LOLZ TEH SQUEEE TEH HAWT SUUUUSAN!!!!!! ensues.

So I guess I shouldn't even try.

...

OMG NOBBY!!!!!!

Ah, well. Merry Christmas indeed. We'll see (or not, if there's never a DVD) what horrors await us.

... And the voice of Death is a graduate from the College of Dramatic Arts in Glasgow (squee!) AND Michelle Dockery has been on Fingersmith and that's so absolutely awesome. Well, Joss Ackland seriously reminds me of Professor Greiner, but other than that...

Ooooh, please, please, please don't mess this up, this looks to good to be true!

...

Except for Fred. What happened to Fred? IS that Fred?

EDIT: Phew, no, it's Constable Visit. Pheeew.

EDIT 2: OMG, I am so curious about the auditors.
