The BBC urinates all over Terry Pratchett's grave

[Chef]

Bladenburg - I bow to superior nollidge, nuancing.

( Just goes to show that my anti PC prejudices pre-date the Great Dissembler in office. )

Chef - It's the one with the D'Regs in .

And the society dinner is in the one where Edward De'Ath finds the gonne....

I bet you could rustle up a Klatchian hot in an instant...... ? Easy on the rats.

Ta for that. 'Men at arms' One of the books I got signed by the author. I've just red the witches trilogy and am rereading Robert Rankin at the moment.

@Bladensburg I was about to start debating/arguing the toss about Vimes and his views on others. Then realised that this is how all the best religious wars start I could almost hear Pratchett muttering.

'It's only a story.'

As long as we both enjoy the books it's fine.

Rankin is an excellent author.

My favourites are:

The Brentford trilogy (5 volumes)
Dance of the Voodoo Handbag
Apocalypso
A Dog called Demolition

A Dog called Demolition would probabkly make a good comedy horror movie...

While there is a bit of a dig at diversity quotas in Men at Arms I hate to point it out to you that it was published in 1993 and therefore nothing to do with Blair.
In any case I think the central theme of that particular plot line is pointing out that Vimes' prejudices towards non-humans are often ridiculous and unfounded rather than that the Patrician's orders to recruit them are misguided.

I think Terry took great delight in pointing out that all of his characters are flawed and thus human. Or at least alive.
PC crap has been around since the 60's.

I will have to check but I think there are 7 books in the Brentford trilogy.
Jasper Fforde is also excellent.

I haven't read the last couple then...

His later books appear to be written as potential tv epidsodes and are not as good.
He was once asked why he has more books in his trilogy than Douglas Adams?
'Because I haven't died yet', was his reply.

Sir pTerry talking a little about the genesis of DiscWorld - and his original career as a journo.

Forgot to comment on this. This is what it could have and should have been, superb production and a bit dusty knowing TP will never write another book.

I was thinking more of Bert Kwouk in his younger days,

View attachment 541757

He could have been the one dishing out trouble for once rather than the receiving end.

 

[old_fat_and_hairy]

He was possibly a little fat in the face for a perfect Rincewind but the woe is me voice perfect.

Sadly, the perfect Rincewind has long passed, Cardew Robinson would have been perfect. Of course, Mackenzie Crook could make a fair stab at it

‘Armageddon; the musical’ (part of a trilogy) featuring Barry the Time Sprout and Elvis is well worth a look.

It's a tradition or an old charter, or something.
