Summary

A collection of the full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations of novels by Terry Pratchett.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different....

Published for the very first time are seven full-cast BBC Radio dramatisations of Terry Pratchett’s novels, with star-studded casts including Martin Jarvis, Sheila Hancock, Anton Lesser, Philip Jackson, Alex Jennings and Mark Heap.

Mort

Hopeless young peasant Mort is hired as an apprentice to Death. He'll have free board, use of the company horse and being dead isn’t even compulsory. In fact, it's a dream job - until he discovers that it can be killer for his love life....

Wyrd Sisters

Three witches meet on a blasted heath. A king is cruelly murdered. A child heir and the kingdom’s crown are both missing. But Granny Weatherwax finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe....

Guards! Guards!

In Ankh-Morpork, the Haves and the Have-Nots are about fall out. Again. The Night Watch’s Captain Vimes is used to this but when the Have-Nots find the key to a lethal, dormant weapon that even they don’t understand, he knows it’s time so sober up.

Eric

When precocious young Eric Thursley summons a demon from the loathsome pit to fulfil his every wish, he wants what everyone wants – immortality, to rule the world and have the most beautiful woman love him. Instead he gets Rincewind, the Disc’s most incompetent wizard.

Small Gods

On the Discworld, Gods are as numerous as herring roe, all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, you need an acolyte and fast. For the Great God Om, Brutha is the Chosen One, or at least the only One available....

Night Watch

Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy, especially when there is a serial killer on the loose who targets coppers. Commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch is back in his own rough, tough past and he has a job to do.

Bonus Story

In addition to these Discworld novels, this collection also includes a full-cast dramatisation of Only You Can Save Mankind, from the Johnny Maxwell series. As an alien fleet crosses his computer screen, Johnny prepares to blow the ScreeWee into a million pieces....

Great Discworld performances

The characterisations were fab and the performances brought the stories to life.
I wasn't so keen on the last story about the computer game though.

mixed bag.

bit of a mixed bag really. some of the stories are really well done, but others not so much, almost as if they were trying too hard to be funny.

BBC radio drama does not fail you.

Even though some things are missing from the books, then this dramatisation does not fail you!

I loved every story

Absolutely loved it, especially how all stories were related in some way or even just references to each other. All characters were enjoyable, this is my second time through and I could easily go back through it again soon

Brilliant series

This is a superb collection of sir terry Pratchett books. I really liked the fact that the collection ended with 'only you can save mankind' as it's one of hisnlesser known non discworld books

Enjoyable Radio versions.

These are Radio plays rather than Audio books but I thoroughly enjoyed them nevertheless. I read the books some years ago and enjoyed revisiting the characters and stories of Discworld.
