      No, not to my knowledge, at least. I got it from a friendly Brit.

          I'm a friendly Brit, but I'm not in a position to supply anyone the movie. Sorry.

            Anyways, my impression of Omnia was that it represented the Middle East.

            ....omnia is a generic country ruled by the roman catholic church.

              Omnia as a country is a Theocractic state, and is surrounded by desert states as well, but the heirarchy of the Omnian clergy in Small Gods is pretty similar to the Roman Catholic Church.

                It was fun seeing Corporal Nobbs! Though he wasn't as disgusting as I imagined. Also they gave Visit an Uberwald accent, I thought he was Omnian!
                That's deffinately a middle-eastern accent.

                And you could not really visualize Nobbs into something like this. I'd break the telly.

                    I missed the second part because I was getting drunk instead.

                        Yes, I'm glad they didn't really go to town on Nobby. He was tough enough on the eyes as it was.

                          Just watched the second part. They hurried through a couple of pieces that I wish they'd spent more time on, but it was already four hours long so I can see why they didn't. Overall well done.

                            I haven't read a Pratchett book since about 1989, but I caught this. While I don't know the actual story, I'd have thought it would have included Pratchett's "footnote" humour a lot- comic asides that fly off at a tangent from the plot. I didn't see that coming across in the film, so I really didn't find it very funny.

                              Is that the only thing you find funny - the asides? I disagree. When you are tired of Death, you are tired of life.

                                They were certainly the parts I found funniest. I'm not into all this "familiarity humour" where things are considered funny through repitition.

                                In the books I read, I found the tangents to be the most inventive and funny bits. Pratchett clearly loved doing them too, because there were no shortages.
