The Worlds of Fantasy

[Readon]

For those of you who are fans of fantasy books/movies and games who didn't see this program (i missed it as it was on BBC4) I can recommend it, you can still see it on BBC's IPlayer for few more days.

It's a exploration of the modern history of fantasy thorugh novels, movies and MMO's, with some pretty good interviews and insights into their work of authors and directors like Michael Moorcock, Terry Pratchett and Guillermo del Toro among others.

Cheers keep forgetting about the iplayer

What day was it on?

 

[Readon]

Not sure what day it was on, but it is available on IPlayer for 4 more days and you can find it under the A to Z listing for W.

It was Weds 12th.

Interesting program, good un-sensationalist programme. WoW and LotrO get a viewing in a positive light for a change.

There was a clip of a film/tv drama of Gaimans 'Neverwhere' that looked quite recent. Does anyone know where I could find this, as I liked the book?

Anyone read the Dresden files? Not seen any pics of Neil Gaiman before, but I thought I was looking at the real Harry Dresden when he was interviewed! He looks just how 'saw' Harry Dresden in my mind when reading the books.

Ooh sounds good! Must try and catch that this evening when I have had enough reglazing of greenhouse!

You can buy Neverwhere on Amazon for �11.98. Though it's not that recent, the TV series came out in 1996

The series was ok-ish, not anywhere near as good as the book though.

 

[Swither]

Ta, found it on amazon now

What do u mean 96 isn't recent? Thats only a few years ago in my ageing book

 

[Kelger]

Wow, Pratchett has a really ninja authoring rig
