Pratchett on the radio
In case anyone missed it and is interested, BBC 7 has a dramatisation of Guards! Guards! being broadcast. The first episode was broadcast yesterday (6pm), and it'll be on iPlayer for the next six days.
Melvyn Hayes as Corporal Nobbs makes me smile: he's so well matched to my image of Nobby. Meanwhile, Martin Jarvis' opening narration ("This is where the dragons went") has enormous resonance with Peter Jones' "This is the story of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" :-)
ETA: I now notice that they broadcast Wyrd Sisters the previous week; again, it's still on iPlayer, but the first episode is only there for the next hour.
