tealinI know at least one of you was hoping to hear the radio play of Night Watch [again], so here's your chance!
Terry Pratchett's Night Watch, Part 1
This part works till Friday; subsequent episodes should appear in the tray beneath the main feature.
If you know the book, you know it's good – if you don't, the radio play does a remarkably good job of summing it up, and giving it a listen will clue you in to the sudden profligation of lilac icons on LJ towards the end of May. I'm not nuts about the sound design and some of the acting, but it's a very complicated book to cut down to five episodes. It's admirable how clear they've made it and how much they managed to retain, which is really more important when you get right down to it.
