Revision as of 18:40, 27 September 2017

One of the many adaptations of Terry Pratchett's works has been radio plays. Radio plays are different from straight readings of the novels, e.g. audio books, as they have a full cast to play the characters and only dialogue is read. The plays have mostly been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, BBC 7 and online on BBC Radio 4 Extra, several of the plays are still repeated on these channels periodically. There also have been serialised readings of several novels. Terry Pratchett BBC Radio Homepage.
