Watch the Discworld TV Series Get Thought Up
So this is cool. Remember that Discworld TV series I told you about last week that’s going to be about the City Watch? Well, apparently the concept meeting between Sir Terry Pratchett and Prime Focus was held at SFX magazine for some reason, and those nerds very smartly decided to record it. So basically, you get to see the little sperm of a Discworld TV show fly out of Pratchett’s head and fertilize the egg of the room… metaphorically speaking, of course. It’s only six minutes of the meeting — SFX has decided to save the rest to cover in their magazine, the greedy fucks — but still, pretty cool. Thanks to Ladychaos for the tip.
