Good idea (0 more)
Very mixed up episodes (0 more)
A show that stalls
Well the trailers looked quite good for this, a mix up of Cannonball with Doomsday. It features a varied bunch of characters racing the length of the country to win freedom. As currently the country is full of humans that have turned into creatures via a virus outbreak. With big cities subject to the Curfew to be kept safe.
For me the first 3 episodes were very slow. There wasn't as much race action as you might think there would be. It centres more on the stories of the characters, their backgrounds and how the virus came about. Some of the later episodes were good. Trouble is some might be bored to stick with it that long. It is very hit and miss one episode to the next complete with a weak ending.

It’s All In the Trousers
Contains spoilers, click to show
Polly Perks leaves home to join the army, to look for her brother. Naturally, as it’s a male dominated institution, she has to disguise herself. The short hair cut is easy, it’s the learning to belch, fart and swagger like an ape that takes time. Plus a well placed pair of rolled up socks in a strategic position makes all the difference.

She’s off to fight for her country Borogravia, a country that picks wars with other countries almost as often as a small child picks its nose.

Polly (or Ozzer as she becomes known) joins a raggedy band which becomes known as the Monstrous Regiment, lead by the legendary Sergeant Jackrum. A troupe consisting of a troll, a vampire, an Igor, and others. All with a big secret.

Although part of the Discworld novels, this can be read as a stand-alone novel. a thoroughly enjoyable read, which brings in some old Discworld characters we know and love.
