Terry Pratchett's TRUCKERS, Episode 2/13

Terry Pratchett's TRUCKERS

Truckers is a stop motion animated series, an adaptation the first book of Terry Pratchett's The Bromeliad trilogy, produced in the United Kingdom by Cosgrove Hall for TV, then released on VHS, though edited together into a feature length film. Dreamworks has been rumored to be working on a new feature length adaptation of Truckers, so I urge you to enjoy this piece of television history from 1990.

Starred Paul McGann's lesser known but equally talented brother Joe McGann as Masklin, Brian Trueman (famous for his narration work on Cosgrove Hall's other shows such as Cockleshell Bay and as Stiletto in Danger Mouse) as Dorcas, Debra Gillett (recently appeared on Doctor Who as Rita Connolly in 'The Idiot's Lantern') as Grimma, Rosalie Williams (Mrs. Hudson in the Sherlock Holmes TV serials from 1984-94) as Gran'ma Morkie and John Jardine as Torrit.

@yellowpete79 yea. They sort of disappear in the book as well. Or a least are not mentioned again.

@12801024 Same here. Den blev vist sendt på DR1, så de ved måske hvor den kan findes... Jeg gad godt se den danske version igen!

[12801024]

I saw a danish version of this when I was younger! Some of the best animation ever made!

I hope there will be either a dvd release with this verison, or a remake with all 3 parts of the original trioligy some time in the near future!
