About
It's the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy on Discworld, but there are suspicious going-on and the criminal underworld is abuzz. The beloved Hogfather - the jolly bearer of glee and pork-related gifts for children everywhere - has vanished. Suddenly, Discworld's entire mythical system is under threat. The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully (Joss Ackland), a loyal manservant called Albert (David Jason), a level-headed governess called Susan Sto Heilt (Michelle Dockery), and her grandfather, who happens to be - Death (Marnix van den Broeke).

Death
Ho ho ho. You couldn't resist it in the end. A mistake, I fancy. It gets under your skin, life. Speaking metaphorically, of course. And you see, the more you struggle for every moment, the more alive you stay. Which is where I come in, as a matter of fact.
[to Susan; to the Auditors]
Auditor
You can't do this! There are rules!
Death
Yes, there are rules. But you broke them! How dare you? How dare you?! And now, there remains only one final question: Have you been naughty... or nice? Ho. Ho. Ho.
[angrily; the Auditor-wolves whine]

My grandfather is Death.
Oh God of Hangovers
Ooohh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Susan
Death. You know, Death. The robes, the scythe, the white horse, bones. Death. But at the moment he's acting rather strange.
