Well, not a bad idea, but who's going to approach him about it?

I agree about Hogfather's Death though.

Christopher Lee originally died hundreds of years ago, and is only
walking the earth now because of all that human blood.

I don't and I will reserve comment about Christoper Lee until after I
have seen the programme, because I'm hoping it was somebody else's voice
in the 'Tourist Guides to Discworld' short promos.

Ian Richardson was 'the bloke', and IMNSHO did an *excellent* job as the
voice of Death. While I agree Christopher Lee will be just as good if not
better, I totally disagree that Ian Richardson was badly cast.

Kind regards,

Julian

sky or pratchette should do it. after all between them they've managed
to get it on the small screen.

for me he didn't pull it off. he just didn't sound right. while
cristopher lee has the right voice for the part for sure.

It would certainly be intriguing if the Voice Of Death were indeed
someone who had predeceased a production[1]. Though it would, of
course, need to be handled carefully and/or with advanced planning given
the decisions to edit in/out various quotes (or even partial quotes),
and other directorial decisions such as the pace and intensity of the
dialogue to fit into the future interpretations.

Big task, or maybe trust a decent sound engineer to do the manipulation
without messing it up, getting a few stock phrases and sentence
fragments pre-recorded ready for bundling into new dialogue. (If not do
the entire audio component of the virtual actor construction, with
phonemes.)


Also, I quite warmed to Ian Richardson and thought he did a good job,
though I have still have my original (and now paradoxical) surety that
the Cosgrove Hall appearance was /the/ definitive one, so won't argue
with your sentiment either...

(BTW, nice to see that you're staving off Death by keeping as far away
from capital letters s you can.


[1] Numerous "from the grave" cameos spring to mind, such as Richard
Burton and Lawrence Olivier to name just two.
