	\| 1 \|\| 2006-12-17 \|\| “Night 1” \|\| In Ankh-Morpork, the Assassin’s Guild is contracted by mysterious spectral figures to kill “the Fat Man”. The job is assigned to Mr Teatime, who recruits some petty thugs (including the child-like giant Banjo), a wizard and a locksmith. They highjack an unusual cart, killing the driver and driving it to another world. Death observes the murder and abandons his usual duties to dress up as the Hogfather (with Albert as an elf) and deliver presents. This brings him to the home where his granddaughter Susan is working as a governess, and she is appalled. Death tells her not to get involved, so she investigates. In Death’s house she learns the Hogfather is the modern incarnation of an ancient deity; if he dies, the Sun might not rise tomorrow. In a strange white castle, Teatime gathers together a pile of teeth and ~~had~~ his wizard cast a spell ~~over~~ them. He then ~~loots~~ the place, the thugs ~~finding~~ money and title deeds. On the Disc, Death decides he needs to be more visible. He replaces a store Hogfather in Ankh-Morpork and gives away toys, upsetting the manager. At Unseen University, the Arch-Chancellor is enjoying a long-sealed bathroom, but catches a “veruca gnome” while cutting his toenails. Susan goes to the Hogfather's Castle of Bones looking for clues, but it crumbles around her. Teatime laughs and wishes everyone a “happy Hogswatch”...<ref>Actually it sounds very much like Marc Warren says “Happy Hogwash, everybody!”, but that seems in keeping with the character.</ref>		\| 1 \|\| 2006-12-17 \|\| “Night 1” \|\| In Ankh-Morpork, the Assassin’s Guild is contracted by mysterious spectral figures to kill “the Fat Man”.

	\| 2 \|\| 2006-12-18 \|\| “Night 2” \|\| Susan finds a very ill man in the Castle and escapes before it's totally destroyed. She takes him to the University, where the wizards revive him enough to discover he is the “Ohgod of Hangovers”. Their magical computer Hex theorises that there is a surplus of belief, causing minor superstitions like the Ohgod and the Veruca Gnome to become real. Teatime kills the last guards in the castle, who disappear and fall onto the roof of the University. Following several clues, Susan goes to the home of the Tooth Fairy - the Castle where Teatime is, and where there can be no death (so anyone who would die ~~goes~~ elsewhere ~~to do it~~). ~~While~~ childhood fears come to life and ~~kill off the thugs,~~ Susan confronts Teatime, who takes Death’s sword from her~~, but she~~ pushes him to his death into the pile of teeth, disrupting the sympathetic spell causing the Disc’s children stop believing in the Hogfather. Susan meets the Tooth Fairy, who is actually the first Boogey Man; he decided to protect the children he was meant to scare by hiding their teeth away where they couldn’t be used for evil magic. He dies, and Susan makes Banjo the new Tooth Fairy. She leaves and meets Death, who explains that it was the Auditors of Reality who set this all in motion, but he kept belief in the Hogfather alive long enough for her to save him. The Auditors get desperate and go back in time to kill the original animal sacrifice that would become the Hogfather, but they are stopped by Susan and Death, and the Sun rises. Back at Susan’s house they find Teatime, who was brought back to life by the wizards when his body appeared in the University. Deprived of killing the Hogfather, he wants to kill Death instead, but is instead killed by Susan. Death goes home, stopping on the way to buy a rocking horse that was coveted by the young Albert.		\| 2 \|\| 2006-12-18 \|\| “Night 2” \|\| Susan finds a very ill man in the Castle and escapes before it's totally destroyed.
