	RHI Entertainment: Hogfather
		From the imagination of best-selling novelist Terry Pratchett comes a deliriously twisted take on the holiday season.

		But when the Hogfather is kidnapped by a cadre of villains called the Auditors, the inspiring belief in Hogswatch could be lost forever.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Hogfather
		Except on Discworld, it's called Hogswatch, the jolly old fat man is the Hogfather, and he rides around in a sleigh pulled by four large boars named Gouger, Rooter, Tusker and Snouter.
		The daughter of Death's adopted daughter and her husband, Death's former apprentice, Susan can see things that most people can't, can walk through walls, has a strangely commanding voice, and packs a mean poker for thumping monsters.
		Susan demands an explanation and Death reveals that the Hogfather is dead.

		So, when Death realizes that the Hogfather’s life is in jeopardy and, indeed, has vanished on the night before Hogwatch, he has to move fast to shore up human belief, which is waning in the wake of the Hogfather’s disappearance.
		This means putting on the Hogfather’s red suit and donning on a fake beard and a cushion to spread joy the children around the world (as best as a cowled skeleton can), while granddaughter Susan (now a hyper-practical governness desiring a “normal” life) is left to figure out what Mr.
		Hogfather is packed with weird and wonderful characters, and the many separate plot threads are told in an interesting way even if the director takes his sweet time in weaving them together.

		As you might guess from the picture to the left, the hogfather is the Discworld's version of Santa Claus, a friendly old man who delivers gifts of sausage and toys to good children and rides a sled pulled by pigs...
		It is important that the Hogfather rides, not just to not disappoint the kiddies, but for far more important reasons as well, reasons which have to do with the Hogfather's past as a somewhat less kinder spirit.
		Which may just be the reason why the Hogfather was indisposed of, as DEATH's old foes, the Auditors, the guardians of rule and order for its own sake have hired the Assassin's Guild to inhume the Hogfather, which apparently succeeded...

		Briefly Hogfather, is the Discworld’s Father Christmas, and he has been assassinated by a shadowy set of “Auditors”; from another dimension.
		The anthropomorphic personification of Death decides to take over for the Hogfather in order to make people continue to believe in him, wearing a long red cloak and a beard, but things start to become complicated because he is taking the children’s wishes too literally.
		Back to Hogfather though, two 120” HD films, (total running time of four hours), with air on Sky One this Christmas, and star David Jason as Albert, Ian Richardson as the voice of Death and Michelle Dockery as Susan.

	hogfather by terry pratchett - book review for zone-sf.com
		The Hogfather of the title is the Discworld analogue of Father Christmas - a connection made more obvious on the original Josh Kirby cover - but the principal protagonist is, as depicted on the new cover, Susan Sto-Helit, nobility, governess and granddaughter of Death.
		The Hogfather has disappeared, and Death is attempting to sustain belief, delivering presents in a red robe and fake beard.
		Hogfather is a good introduction for those new to Terry Pratchett, and an excellent choice for readers who haven't visited for a while.

		Prodded by the Death of Rats and his translator sidekick, the Raven, Susan is soon reluctantly involved in her Grand-dad's attempts to fill in the gaps caused by Hogfather's disappearance.
		Hogfather, the twentieth Discworld adventure written by Terry Pratchett, is a wonderful tale about the power of belief and what it can bring to humanity.
		She goes on a journey that takes her to where the Hogfather usually lives, and to the realm of the Tooth Fairy, where Teatime is using the magic of the teeth to erase the belief in the Hogfather.

	Review - Hogfather by Terry Pratchett
		Hogfather is a Death novel, and we get to see his grand-daughter Susan again.
		Susan is trying to be normal, and has taken a post as a governess to a family, where the children of the house have been threatened with bogey men under the beds and the bears who get you when you step on the cracks.
		Death, in the meantime, is trying to take over the post of the Hogfather, with the sleigh and the pigs pulling it all over the world in one night to be able to deliver all the presents to the children.

	Hogfather Summary / Study Guide
		Hogfather, like many of Pratchett's novels, can be seen as having more than one protagonist.
		Although it is Susan who eventually provides the resolution of the problem of the Hogfather's disappearance, Death plays a very prominent role in the plot, as it is through Death that Pratchett examines the social role of Christmas as a holiday.
		Pratchett has developed Death as a sympathetic character through a number of the "Discworld" novels, presenting him as a fundamentally decent character who, in his attempts to understand and interact with humans, unwittingly strips the pretensions...

		Pratchett himself is delighted with Sky One's approach to The Hogfather, especially with Sir David Jason playing Albert and Ian Richardson as the voice of Death.
		Lavishly produced at a cost of around £6million, the story revolves around the Hogfather, the creature responsible for delivering presents to the world's children during the winter festival of Hogswatch.
		But this particular year the Hogfather is nowhere to be found.

		The Auditors want the Hogfather to be killed and they hire the assassin's guild to deal with it.
		The guild chooses the most mentally unstable assassin they have, thinking that he might just be insane enough to pull it off, and if not, no loss to the guild if he gets killed.
		At one point, it appears he's deceased because of Teatime's machinations, but yet Susan discovers the Hogfather's lifetimer shattered on the floor in her grandfather's house.
