Twoflower’s first landing in Color of Magic filmed?

3 November 2007 (15:30) The Colour of Magic Films News News Archives

There is more exciting Color of Magic filming news, reported by the BBC. The article says merely, “The Matthew, the replica of the ship John Cabot sailed from Bristol to Newfoundland in 1496, will visit Gloucester Docks for the first time…. The square-rigged caravel is being used in sequences for a television adaptation of a Terry Pratchett comic fantasy book being filmed in the docks.” Perhaps Twoflower’s famous first landing in Ankh-Morpork is being filmed in the historic Gloucester Docks surrounded by some great architecture.

UPDATE: Thanks to commenter OneFlower, we have a link to some pictures of the filming. We can see what looks like Twoflower in a garish, flowered tourist shirt as well as several pictures of the ship.
