"A man is not dead while his name is still spoken." GNU Terry Pratchett

"Colour of money" I died inside a little bit more.

Right! 😂😂😂😂

It's so upsetting to see a man who had such a marvellous brain, struggling to think straight. The world can certainly be cruel.

Nice Tribute, pity Frank Cottrell Boyce couldn't get the title The Colour Of Magic right!!

Terry Pratchett was brilliant! There was so much wisdom in his books, especially the middle to later ones. When my daughter was a teenager and we discovered his books, we would read them aloud and make up voices for the characters.

It's sad that this is all the BBC did for Sir Terry. I wonder why they didn't choose people who knew him. This seems to be thrown together by people who knew nothing about him. As a long time fan I feel grieved for his wife, daughter and his close friends.

I was at school with Terry he was very quiet did not say much but was very observant and watched everything that was going on around him, the one thing that was common to us both was we both disliked the Head Master who seemed to pick on those boys who came from a poor family background and he liked to show us up in front of the rich kids whose parents could afford to kit them out in expensive school uniforms. He saw it as a sort of giving the wrong image for the school. Terry got his own back years later in some of the names given out in many of his books.

Somewhat bizarre that Cottrell Boyce couldn't even remember the name of his favourite Pratchett novel.. Very disappointing effort. It makes one wonder whether he just went for the first Discworld novel because he couldn't remember any others. He doesn't strike me as a genuine fan of Sir Terry's work.

+TRexSpaceStation see it this way, the clip was made on the day terry left with deat or atleast a day after. I think you can see that Cottrell Boyce is shocked and /or not well prepared. Terry would have probably smiled about "the colour of money" and would have said the british money indeed is colourful :)

I agree. Even if he got it right, it is a book many non fans might remember and one few true fans would pick.

I can't believe it's been 5 years. GNU Sir Terry Pratchett.

The first book i read from Terry Pratchett was Mort since then i have collected every book of the Discworld series

It's cool that people dress up as his characters but I'm dubious about how thrilled he'd be that they draw maps of Discworld. He said humor has no map.

Terry Pratchett's death is so tragic. This man deserved better. Rest in peace, Terry.

did he just say colour of money?

Colour of Money? o.O

Absolutely heartbreaking to see a man of such wisdom, curiosity and boundless imagination to be reduced to such a state where even a conversation is difficult. And "Colour of Money"? Seriously? That guy might have read some of Sir Pterry's books, but he's not a fan.

I don't think Terry Pratchett wrote that last twitter post. Pretty sure that was his assistant.

I just read the autobiography. His daughter Rhianna and Rob wrote and sent the Tweet, not long after he died. There's no record of him telling them to say that because in the last days he could barely even talk. 😢

Pratchett would have loved that mouthpiece bungling up the title of "his favourite book" it clearly shows the utter cash grabbing human side of media existence.

''One of the great modern science fiction writers of our time'' I thought his books were fantasy genre?

Yep, a fantasy writer, and it was a constant annoyance to him that Sci-Fi and fantasy were always lumped together, despite being COMPLETELY different genres.

The Long Earth was pretty much Science Fiction. Although you could argue a bit about the fantasy aspects of it. Doesn'T change that these people seem a odd choice for that occasion.
