Haha! Awesome!!! Who would have thought they would have suggestive nudity in 1956.  That's great!

Only just found out about this (Pete Postlethwaite), this morning whilst reading someone else's paper over their shoulder on the tube to work,

Much sadness.

Pete Postlethwaite was lined up to be Cmdr Sam Vimes in the new Discworld series.

I've often wondered who could play vimes. If you look at the book where's my cow, the illustrated vines looks like a young Peter. I thought he might have been a bit old now but well never know.
If they ever did a witches one an old school friends mother would be ideal for weatherwax

I found out somewhere that the illustration of Sam in where's my cow(which I also have) was based on Pete. Watch out for the Kickstarter production of Troll Bridge.The new series is going to be based on the Watch.A cop show in Ankh Morpork.I have the hots for Angua but I wouldn't let Carrot know that.
