Jeez, that takes me back. There were a few decent Warhammer RTS games back then, as I seem to remember Dark Omen being good as well, and maybe Battle March a bit later? After a quick glance it looks like they must have opened up the licence for Warhammer games as there seems to be millions now, of pretty dubious looking quality, but back in the old days they were pretty reliably decent.

His favourite series of all the books he has written. Mine too.You would not regret reading them - his best work in my opinion. The Last Kingdom series was good but went on a bit too long for me.
TV series will begin filming later in the year by the same people who did discovery of witches.
Fingers crossed.
Watched the first series of Witches then it seemed to take ages for the next with lockdown and I forgot all about it, might give them ago again, how many series are they upto now?His favourite series of all the books he has written. Mine too.

No idea, never watched it. I don't really watch TV, the misses loved it though.

Indeed. A far better programme.Captain Scarlet. Not Thunderbirds.
Any love for Mr Pratchett on here?
I have all the books, met him a couple of times, lovely bloke but a bit cantankerous, have a few signed first editions and have never read his last one, The Shepherds Crown, as that would mean closure...something I'm not willing to do. Yet. Sad fuck. The Sky tv adaptations were not bad but the abortion of Night Watch, my favourite book, needs removing from the world.
Also...
Red Dwarf. Books are fine but the TV series hit a purple patch for a while. Love that show.
And finally,
Douglas Adams.
Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy and all it's spin off's are great but I absolutely adore the Dirk Gently series. I say series but it was only 2 books with a 3rd never to see the light of day. The BBC radio version of Dirk with Harry Enfield is rather good.

I eventually got bored of the Pratchett books. Took me about 25 of them to reach that point mind. Another set of comic fantasy that went on too long was Robert Asprin's Myth series.
