I haven't read the Disk World novels so my impression of this made for tv movie is purely on its own. The story is quite hilarious at times and there are lots of parallels to our world. The sets, the costumes, etc are quite brilliant and they seem to have invested a lot of effort into making those clack towers. The acting is spot-on with each one sticking to his/her part. The villain could be a bit more menacing but he is after-all a parallel of a high-tech CEO. My Rating: 7.0
