"APPLE SAUCE!"

Two Belfast-based writers lap up Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (2006), adapted by Vadim Jean and The Mob for Sky TV. Andy delights in his first viewings with his best Death impersonations while PJ skilfully dissects it as a tutor in visual storytelling. We get into the set design, SFX, and a great led by Ian Richardson, Michelle Dockery, Marc Warren and David Jason. It's a pod-vod full of edutainment. For video extras check the episode out on YouTube or Spotify Video.
