I didn't know that this was going to happen so I was unprepared. I have used some of this in our video "Hogswatch, 2011" but I thought that enthusiasts would like to see the whole thing, warts and all, including out of focus bits and a section where the not insubstantial back of the Cunning Artificer came between me and the stage! Our video "Hogswatch 2011", contains a part of this talk, a piece about the new Discworld board game "Guards! Guards!", including an interview with its joint designers from Backspindle Games, Dave Brashaw and Leonard Boyd and some impressions of Hogswatch 2011.

Or perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope... 'His world, increasingly subtle and thoughtful, has become as allegorical and satirical as a painting by Bosch ... Pratchett's joy in his creations, in jokes, puns, the idea of letters and language itself makes GOING POSTAL one of the best expressions of his unstoppable flow of comic invention.' - The Times 'Like many of Pratchett's best comic novels, it is a book about redemption ... There's a moral toughness here, which is one of the reasons why Pratchett is never merely frivolous.' - Time Out 'With all the puns, strange names and quick-fire jokes about captive letters demanding to be delivered, it's easy to miss how <b>...</b>
