This is probably old news to many of you, but I've just seen this article that says they intend to turn the Truckers Trilogy into a film. Hmmmm......

I suppose that at least by doing Truckers first, they might larn any lessons that need learning before attempting any Discworld stuff.

A Discworld movie would have been just so cool

I'm fairly certain that Truckers has already been done as a TV series. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey, that's right. I'd forgotten it was back around 1992 ish I think. I seem to remember it was very well done - even nearly brought a tear to my eye. I can't really remember the details though. Time to search the web....
