Read the 'Letter from Terry' (under Pratchett's Thoughts) on the web site:

I'm not keep on the casting of Rincewind though, I would have thought Nicholas Lyndhurst would have been closer.

Or Nigel Planer (who's also in it).

He's probably a bit too old to play Rincewind. I guess that they chose him because he's very famous and popular, he's a big fan of Terry Pratchett and he really wanted the part.

I'll defer judgement until I see it.

Its going to be odd as he also played Albert, but also David Jason is too old, as Rincewind is meant to be 25-35 something from what I can work out.

Mmmm the trademark sprint start at any sign of trouble should be interesting...

Yes that sound be very interesting.
