I don't know if you watched The Hogfather the other couple of nights. I was very disappointed. I got all excited about the idea of a Terry Pratchett book being televised but it didn't live up to expectations. In some ways I shouldn't have been surprised. The great thing about the Discworld books is the way that Terry writes and the words he uses. That just can't come over on TV, so what are clever uses of words and wry observations of our world turn in to mediocre jokes. Mind you, Bilious, the "O god" of hangovers worked.
If you watched this but haven't read the books don't let this put you off, the books are fantastic.
