About this listen

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....

After making my way through the Discworld series of audiobook I stumbled across this gem. The full cast performances of these books are amazing and really bring more depth and characterisation to the narrative. This is also a bargain as it has more than one book so buy it while you can!

Wow, an amazing performance

good adaptions but definitely abbreviated from the originals. good performances and sound effects but sometimes sound levels at start and end credits much louder than the actual book which gets annoying when suddenly deaffend.

good listen

Some of the adaptations are better than others but all worth a listen, none of them poor. Performances are all up there. Given the number of tales, definitely some value here.

Whilst the stories by necessity were cut a bit short in places for the BBC dramatizations this is a fun, enjoyable collection of several of Terry Pratchett's most memorable books well performed by varying casts

Fun Short Dramatization collection

Thoroughly enjoyable. BBC has not let itself down. Forget they're abridged versions. Immerse yourself in smooth flowing theatre - disc world style.

I knew little of pratchett's work besides hogfather before this, although my partner was a massive fan. listening to these, I gained a new appreciation for the series. they're all acted extremely well (bonus of the BBC being the ones to do it) and I enjoyed them all quite a lot; potentially with the exception of only you can save mankind. it wasn't a BAD story by any means, it just was the weakest of the collection in my opinion.

all the same, I highly recommend this collection to anyone

a solid collection of stories that will please!
