Endnotes:
(1) Sky One will also air the sequel to the BAFTA-winning drama series Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather, which aired on Sky One in December 2006 and attracted an audience of 2.8 million viewers—the largest for a U.K. commission on multichannel television. The Colour Of Magic, a multi-million pound adaptation of the first Discworld novel, will be broadcast in Spring 2008. The drama is currently filming at Pinewood Studios and features a cast that includes Sir David Jason, Tim Curry, Sean Astin and Christopher Lee.
(2) Beyond its 2008 premiere on Sky One, RHI is looking to distribute Magic as a theatrical movie in some territories.
RHI recently set up Hogfather for a U.S. debut on Ion Television as part of the RHI Movie Weekend franchise. There is no U.S. outlet yet for Magic.
