Terry Pratchett’s The Colour of Magic

Effects-strewn, feature-length, TV adaptation of the first two novels in Terry Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ series of comic fantasies. Sir David Jason stars as the jaded, incompetent wizard, Rincewind, who unwittingly finds himself playing guide to naive tourist, Twoflower (Sean Astin), when the two are forced to flee from the city of Ankh-Morpork after a terrible inferno. The film co-stars Tim Curry and Jeremy Irons, while Brian Cox narrates, and Christopher Lee provides the voice of Death.
