Yeah I was on the edge of crying all the time when I read his latest book, with the little witch, and the bees, and the things he wanted to perpetuate, god this comment is hard to write, I must not think about it to finish it, R.I.P.

Years and years ago, this movie was playing on the channel I always used to watch as a kid. Having nothing else to do, I decided to watch it, and I fell in love; I kept the recording of it on the TV and rewatched it occasionally. About two years ago, the name “Terry Pratchett” showed up again when I watched “Good Omens”; I decided to buy one of his books-it was “The Colour Of Magic”. I didn’t read it immediately, because I found the writing a bit too hard as a non-native speaker, but my progress in English allowed me to read it soon after. I have since read the first 11 Discworld books, plus “Going Postal”, as it was my introduction to this world. I am completely in LOVE with Pratchett’s writing, his world has brought me so much joy. Sometimes I wish I could forget all about it, just so I could discover it anew; but the feeling of knowing Discworld and its inside jokes, if you will, also makes me feel warm inside. It will forever break my heart that, by the time I decided to start reading the Discworld series, he was already long gone. But he will live on in all of our memories, and in his brilliant books, and I like to think that he got taken away by his Discworld Death, because that makes it less sad. I hope Death took good care of him-no, I know he did. RIP, Terry Pratchett, we all love you so, so much.

Pratchett's books have the curious characteristic of being eminently readable over and over again - You just need to allow them to stand fallow for a few years and you're good to go all over again. I suspect its not because of the story line itself but the characterisations and the thousand little covert jokes & puns. To be able to get that in a language which is not your native tongue is an immense achievement Tam.

Before any of the movies came to be, I fell in love with the Discworld novels.

Honestly, I loved 'Going Postal' but to me I feel like his last 10-15 or so books would be best described as "the New Discworld series" which were far more about development, technology, politics and civilisation than the original books, which were a purely utterly nonsensical, fantastical, unrestricted and completely untamed great and open world. The series shifted from beautifully phantasmically imaginatively illogical, to inspirational, vivid, well written and charactered logical modern fantasy.

An avid reader from an early age,Terry Pratchett took me to a new place in terms of reading. The books became my friends. Not only did Terry die too early, but all his characters died with him. I will never know what happened to little Sam, nor Tiffany. It took me so many years to recover the wish to read again. As with so many of you, I still miss him. Perhaps one of the 'small gods' took him and he's still writing, surely the God of books will look favourably on this great man.

Indeed, the sense of loss was and still is immense, but as Sir Terry said, "words have power" so part of me imagines that the essence of Sam Vimes, Tiffany Aching, and all the others still exist somewhere in the ether. The characters are alive in our heads but there's no-one to tell their stories any more, and _that_ is what we grieve for. Those we knew and loved in the Discworld books were not lost forever, like the characters from Blackadder in that overwhelming final scene, they simply lost their voice.

Its always a bitter sweet thing seeing Terry Pratchett when he was well and speaking on the work he loved being put on screen. I'll always treasure my signed copies of my favourite books. (Masquerade and Hogfather.)

Never saw or heard Terry before this and had read many of his books, and his voice is so much better than I had imagined.

Every one of those books is a gem and Snuff is a touching piece of magic.

Sam Vimes is probably the most complete character in any genre of modern literature.

My dad is a great fan of Sir Pratchett to the point that wherever you were in our house, you'd be sure to find one of his books, half read, waiting to be finished for the Xth time. One morning, maybe 12 years ago, on the first day of summer vacation i saw Going Postal lying on the kitchen table and out of curiosity i flipped it open. My dad was reading them all the time, so they had to be good, right? By the end of the same year i had read every Discworld novel that was out to this point.

Everybody's brilliant in this. loved the fan part - see other making of videos. but i wonder everyone missed the best about filming in Budapest; some of the city playing part of Ankh-Morkpork, as it were. not all was props what seen in film. it is a twin city - twin cities - on river Danube, Buda on one bank and Pest on another. merged only recently in history. comparatively. like Ankh and Morpork on river Ankh. :D

This was the first Discworld novel I ever read after buying it in Gatwick airport on the way to Italy many years ago and it got me reading all of his books. Pratchett was nothing short of a comedic and literary genius for bringing a strange, foreign, other-worldy universe to life whilst making it feel exactly like home. Especially if you're from England. The accents come through as clear as bell, the way it's all written and even without the amazing cover art of the books, it's always been so easy to visualise each character. We'll not get another Sir Terry Pratchett but we will get authors who stand on the shoulders of this giant. And I can't flippin' wait to read what they bring to the table!

I love the cast. And Richard Coyle is full of charm! He's absolutely stunning.

_"I love the clacks, because they look like they could work."_ Only one reason for that. Ok, 2; The movie's director clearly could read. When they made Sir Terry, the broke the mold... And no one will ever forgive the maker for losing the model. :'(

It is already six years since Terry died at a much too young age. I've never been much of a reader, but I am an gamer from the 90's onwards and I did play Discworld religiously. It saddens me that I never got a chance to shake his hand, to just exchange a word of greeting. Though he was more or less a humanist/atheist, I do like to believe that if there is a Heaven, he is awarded with a comfy spot right there to bicker and laugh with Death. A good man that spread so much joy through his works deserves that much at least.

It's a wonderful voice isn't it? It's got a wonderfully mischievous quality to it

Back when England was Europe, Pratchett was alive and... gosh, Claire Foy was as incredible as she still is :)

Woah this is 9 years ago was expecting to be some 2019 premiere or 2020 haha

Claire Foy was at her absolute sexiest in this.

My favorite author. Full stop.

I truly miss him as such a caring, funny and absolutely intelligent author and person🙏 Bless him. Wee free men are all around me, my beer is gone and I could have sworn there was some cheddar in my fridge.. And by the way, I live in Germany.... And.. Oh darn, I miss England. Used to live in Shropshire. Interesting times.. 😂

aw, Terry

@Lodatzor Terry Pratchett himself loves it. You can tell in his interviews about it. I think he's just about the biggest fan they could get for this.

I really miss Sir Pratchett, but I'll always have the books.
