Humour with a capital letter

"Going Postal" is the story of arch-swindler Moist Von Lipwig (Richard Coyle) and the beautiful, vengeful Adora Belle Dearheart (Claire Foy). It has been made into a movie, which is screening on ABC1 TV on Saturday 17th at 7:30pm.

From the film version

A life-long travelling con-artist & fraud, Lipwig's crimes finally catch up with him in the city of Ankh-Morpork. Faced with death by hanging, Lipwig is spared by Lord Vetinari (Charles Dance), who sees him as the perfect man for the role of Postmaster in the decrepit Ankh-Morpork postal service.
 

Faced with an almost impossible task, and making an immediate enemy of bloodthirsty tyrant Reacher Gilt (David Suchet), owner of the rival money-hungry Grand Trunk Semaphore Company's clacks communication monopoly, Lipwig's first instinct is to run. That is until he meets the spellbinding Adora. Captivated by her beauty and her brains, Lipwig will try anything to win her affections... little knowing the part he has played in her family's downfall.
Lipwig  has got to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers' Friendly & Benevolent Co., or a midnight killer. Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or perhaps there's a shot of redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope...

Sir Terry Pratchett is the second most-read author in Britain today, behind J.K. Rowling. His back catalogue, is the number one best selling of any author in the U.K. Pratchett is increasingly popular in the United States and is now the sixth most read non U.S.-author in the United States.

Full of the jokes, parodies, allusions and references which season the Discworld stories, you need to see "Going postal".
