Might have gone unnoticed, but Skyone did a 2 part TV adaptation of this Discworld novel.

In a torrent site near you 
Did someone say isohunt? Eh 
Very much recommended to get into that Hogswatch spirit 
It's the night before Hogswatch, usually a time of joy on Discworld. A night when overexcited children are kept awake by the thoughts of what presents they may find inside their stockings, once they are allowed to stop pretending to be asleep.
But this year, all is not right with the holiday season!
There have been some worryingly suspicious goings-on involving a member of Ankh-Morpork's Assassins' Guild, and the town's already bustling criminal underworld is abuzz with dodgy deeds. The beloved Hogfather - the jolly bearer of glee and pork-related gifts for children everywhere - has vanished.
Suddenly, the stability of the Discworld's entire mythical system is under threat. for if the children stop believing in the Hogfather, the sun will not rise upon Discworld again!
The fate of this magical time rests in the hands of a very motley group: A band of wizards headed up by a mystical university president named Mustrum Ridcully; a loyal manservant who goes by the of Albert; a level headed governess called Susan Sto Helit; and her grandfather, who happens to be..well.Death.
It will take some very extreme measures: Plans must be made, trolls must be fought, fairies must be rescued, and DEATH must take up the reins at the helm of the Hogfather's abandoned sleigh, if the Hogfather, and possibly more importantly, the holiday, is to be saved.
HO! HO! HO!
You'd better watch out...
