15 March 2008 (18:37) Cast and Crew The Colour of Magic Films Terry Pratchett News News Archives

A charity auction on eBay is in process to support the Alzheimer’s Research Trust. Terry Pratchett and the Colour of Magic crew worked together to provide this “unique opportunity” to own the only replica of the Luggage used in producing The Colour of Magic adaptation. To quote the item description:

A unique opportunity to own a one-off replica of the luggage as featured in Sky One’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s The Colour of Magic. This quirky ‘suitcase’ is filled with the full library of Discworld novels, plus the production designs used to build the luggage as seen in the film. Both the books and the designs have been signed by Terry Pratchett.

Also included in this money can’t buy piece of memorabilia is a copy of the Discworld 25th anniversary edition of The Colour of Magic which hits book store shelves on the 10th March. This brand spanking new reissue not only features the stars of Sky One’s magical adaptation, Sir David Jason and Sean Astin, on the front cover, but the two actors have also signed the novel.

Fifteen bidders have bid the price up to £2,000.00.  The auction ends on March 24.

    Oh, if I only had that much money to spend …

  • Ryan:

    Money CERTAINLY can’t buy this item. Unless it’s more than 2050 Euros(apologies if I got the currency wrong).

  • Shoshana:

    Pounds, not euros. The U.K. uses pounds, because (and this is according to my textbook last year. not trying to get political) they have “europhobes”, basically people who dislike the European Union. You’d think using Euros like everybody else in that economic bloc would make things simpler, but maybe Britons are just staid and old-fashioned.

    I am such a know-it-all.

  • Shoshana:

    On the currency note, how do you write £? It looks way to curly to write normally in, like, regular handwriting.

  • Shoshana:

    Even if I _did_ have 2, 050 pounds or ~4,000 dollars it still wouldn’t pay for a college education. *sigh*
