When they meet the barbarian thieves Bravd and Weasel, things that are already bad turn inevitably to the worst ...This is the second of Terry Pratchett''s Discworld movies for SKY ONE, made by the team who brought THE HOGFATHER to you and featuring The Discworld Players, an ensemble cast including Sir David Jason as Rincewind.
