The Watch: Introducing Captain Samuel Vimes (EXCLUSIVE)

CBR is pleased to introduce Richard Dormer's Captain Samuel Vimes in this exclusive The Watch promo.

"I was born and raised in the gutter," Vimes proclaims. "Maybe I should have died there, but I didn't!"

Help! Someone's taken the smart and straight talking Vimes and have replaced him with a walking cliche

Things I don't mind: Changing sex/colour/age of characters
Things I do mind: Change the personality of characters so they are completely f*cking different people.

Cynicism is one of my defining qualities so trust me when I say I knew you wouldn't get it right.

This actor seems like a lot of fun. Seems to be doing a lot with the material given. It wpuld be cool if said material happened to be copies of Discworld.

I really enjoyed this. I have everything STP ever wrote. I thought this version of the watch was rather fun. Almost as if the watch’s local watering hole, was madam Jo Jo’s. It’s not “my” Sam vimes, but it’s a Sam vimes 🙂

I would prefer a show centered around the witches or if Vimes was more in line with the book and I would have it be that Sybil, gaspode, and greezbo had to go on missions because the watch was too busy.

Aaahh yes a fine example of what Sam vimes is not a drunken dirty bum such a great representation of the great Sam vimes who is literally a chad

[johnbraadland]

I dont think the casting choice was to bad, i could see this guy represent the Vimes character decently, its just the show itself is fundamentally garbage, which in turn makes his portrayal of the character into garbage as well.

[kaicreech]

Christopher Eccleson should play Sam Vimes

[thegusk]

Very cool, should be the next Doctor Who.

Why is Cecil(nobby) Playing fucking Vimes?
