Thanks Lars, It's so good to know that there are weirdos like us all over the round world who loved Pterry's work and the man himself.

Over the last 6 years I have come to realise that we are not as weird as we thought. The UK Tory government are proving themselves much weirder...

Learning that Terry Pratchett liked Count Duckula made my day.

I can only watch 20 minutes of any Sir Terry interview without stopping to weep for lost genius. Speak his name GNU

GNU Sir Pterry.

"Pretty good in a very limited way at what I do" - It keeps amazing me how humble Terry Pratchett was. I don't think any other person could pull off a sentence like that without sounding insincere.

No idea why I'm responding to a 9 year-old vid because no-one will ever see this. But yer man Pratchett was (in my opinion) probably the finest satirist in the English language since Jonathon Swift. He could tell me a story that was relatable and at the *exact* same time get me to re-examine my motivations and/or suppositions. Complete genius.

Well just be patient, and you can meet him. Eventually.

Oh my gosh, he was so right about the "tiny details" that the studio did. How he said his favorite part was a scene where the barkeep's nostrils flare. Those little tiny details in the voice acting and animation is one of the biggest things I was impressed by. The nuances of human expression, not skipped to save money or cut corners. Even with limited funds, those details make the animation so much more real and submersive

Terry's absolutely spot on about the music being a banger in its own right. Good thing the whole album's now on KZread.

I've been reading Pratchett`s work since the early 90s & for many years in the States it was hard to find his work & now that you can find his books in just about any book store he was taken away from us! Miss him & his work, there will never be another.

Gosh, I could listen to terry all day long ... ...hes such a joy to listen to...lol He seems like such an funny, eccentric gentleman ...and handsome too. Thank you got showing this one...very fascinating . 💚💚💚💚

Man, I am just becoming a fan now, what a top notch fellow. I did buy your book after watching it sir and I love it. RIP

What a talented man... Sadly missed....😢

It's crazy how I clicked on this video thinking I knew his voice, and then realized I only knew his pen.

Speaking just of merchandise, when I was in the UK, several years ago, I'm from Australia, one of the few things I brought back for myself was a set of hand painted resin book ends from ' Guards Guards ', that I have also seen as a play over here. A friend of my wifes who is even more of a Discworld nut than me croched/knitted me the entire Discworld, turtle, elephants, Disc, the lot, it's about the size of a foot ball. The best I could do was get one of those round things people paint pictures on but I did the Discworld as best I could & rounded up 4 resin elephants & a to scale plastic turtle.

What a massive lose to humanity. I've been going through his books and I'm up to Interesting Times. RIP

I finly found a person that can explain what it's like to be in my mind when I'm writing a story

I learned of him late and by audio books, 2000ish, and by far one of my most favorite ever. I can reread again and again.

So nice to hear STP so satisfied.

Discworld is so out-there, I expect the plant 🪴to one side to start moving and making noises. And then to add a few comments. Rave on you lovers of Discworld

TP was a genius scribe! And Soul Music was always my favourite DW tale, closely followed by Wyrd Sisters. Assassin Portillo .... LOL! And a drunk and dissolusioned Death... What more can one say? A great interview with the genius himself. I totally get how he writes in 'cinematographic' way.

I love everything about this man

Thank you for uploading this. :)

Sir Terry was one in a million

I do actually think it was the same for me back 1998, was 17 then =) but now i have read everything with Terry =)

Netflix? Amazon? Can you hear us? How about you throw some money into an animated adaptation of the Discworld novels? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

well we are getting good omens so yay. my fear is that now he has passed there will not be the rigid control to do the books exactly as they should be done. Ohh we will just change this a tiny bit, oh that character may not be understood by X audience so change that, ect ect. To me there are so many examples of why the hell did you do that, that the prospect scares me.

@@SauronsLeftNut I understand your concern, I think the trick is to find a group of dedicated animators who deeply love the source material. Besides, adaptations are always bound to change something, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they change it for worse. I think they should have it a try and if it goes bad, well we'll always have the books anyway.

Nah it is probably decided by his daughter Rihanna. She has that same quirky sense if humor. She wrote the two Overlords games which is two games with the same kind of humor as the Discworld books.

SauronsLeftNut pretty prophetic now that we’ve seen how they butchered the Watch for bbc. Despicable.

When I first saw this interview and he commented that he'd like it if someone saw the cartoon and then thought that maybe the book was alright too (not word perfect what he says, don't correct me, please), well...that was me. First introduced to discworld when the cartoons aired here in 1998, when I was 10. :)

Sorry your books went away. I wondered how long you would be able to keep them here. Thank you for trying your efforts were appreciated. I hope you didn't get into trouble.

my momma introduced me.

Yep. It's weird that the books sell well in Australia because we Australians are dumb as dog shit. R.I.P. Terry. You will be missed.

Thank you for liking it :D

I've never found that the cartoons or the other adaptations have been very good in comparison to the books themselves. The soul music design and drawings were terrible. Maybe it could be done better now.

I'm sure he is aware of how old they are but have you thought what Hayao Miyazaki would of done with a discworld story? it would of been the perfect combination in my mind. I have to say as well the animation of his books was very poor and low rent never did justice to his vision.

​@@finnmacool9542Frankly Miyazaki is horribly overated (in addition to being a first prize prick), and his habit of injecting personal politics into his stuff and adaptations of other people's work turns me right off.

The classic screen writer screw up is the recent series 'The Watch', they let some idiot loose on it who managed to remove all of the essential 'Pratchett' from it and they also completely buggered up the characters and 'lost' some of the most important ones, while injecting the current Woke dogma just 'because'.
