Terry Pratchett's Hogfather is a two-part television adaptation of the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett, produced by The Mob, and first broadcast on Sky One, and in High Definition on Sky One HD, over Christmas 2006. First aired in two 1.5 hour episodes on the 17th and 18th of December 2006 at 20:00 UTC, it was the first live-action film adaptation of a Discworld novel.

Hogfather won the Interactivity Award at the 2007 BAFTA TV Awards for its use of the interactive options available on digital television.
In part 2, the Dean is wearing a robe with "Born to Rune" on the back. This is a reference to the book "Soul Music", which also features Susan and the wizards.
Death, voiced by Ian Richardson, utters the line "You might very well think that I'd already thought of that, but I couldn't possibly comment" - a reference to Richardson's similar catchphrase as Francis Urquhart in the 1990s political thriller House of Cards.
When the Oh God of Hangovers is being treated by the Wizards, the music playing is "Men of Harlech". A well-known drinking song, "The Alcoholic's Anthem", is sung to that tune.
Constable Visit's full name is Visit-the-Infidel-with-Explanatory-Pamphlets.
Corporal Nobby Nobbs full name is Cecil Wormsborough St. John Nobbs. He has a paper signed by the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork verifying that he is indeed human.
After filming, Hogfather author Terry Pratchett was stopped by customs at an airport in Austrailia; he had a large box of plastic teeth from the set, which distressed the officials. He explained the situation, and pointed out that they should probably be more concerned with the large box marked 'DEATH.' (Told to con-goers at MidSouthCon 2007 in Memphis, TN)
