New casting announced for TV adaptation 'The Watch' | Sir Terry Pratchett
While I applaud any attempt to bring Terry's work to the screen, four women in major character roles that have always been male (including the Patrician, a role written specifically with Alan Rickman in mind} and one young person of colour as the wife of a major character do not bode well in my opinion.
As Sir Terry himself would have said "Well thats a bit of an embuggerance"...
