Oh look, that dick Hush had a cameo. Presumably he was plotting to report Alfred to Immigration Services or something at the time but he was distracted by the bright colours.


Based on the Discworld novel of the same name, the story revolves around former con-man Moist von Lipwig. He is saved from the gallows by the ruler of the City of Ankh-Morpork to use his skills to reform the city's Post Office, but he has to deal with various corrupt dangerous businessmen and their hired killers along the way.

And it's got Coupling's Richard Coyle as Moist Von Lipwig,

And an actress from Norway called Ingrid Bolsø Berdal playing Angua,

Going Postal is pretty much standalone; you don't need to have read any of the previous books to understand it... probably one of the reasons why they're choosing it for adaptation.

That said, you do get some more background story on certain elements of the story in other books, like for example the origin of The Ankh-Morpork Times, Discworld's first newspaper (which plays a fairly important role in the story), which is told in The Truth. But that's more of a bonus.
