The question that no one has ever asked!

What happens if you take a terry pratchett novel, strip it of it's humor and present it as a made for TV movie?

It makes a darn decent family movie called Going Postal (sadly that is where the humor/language bridge might scare people) starring the fellow from coupling.

It is well worth a view on Netflix, I quite enjoyed it.

I do wish they had let the humor in bit more though, that is where the author truly shines.

If you're a Pratchett fan, you can always watch just to say to yourself Tssk, Tssk and why did they leave that part out?
