...classics to out of print Doctor Who novels), and I'd love to see what they and their usual cast do with it. I can see Sylvester McCoy or Michael Keating voicing Rincewind, don't you? India Fisher as Susan Sto Helit, Paul McGann as Vimes, Nicola Walker as Sybil, 'Sam Kisgart' as Lord Vetinari...

Ah! a Robert Rankin book he hasn't written a lot lately just one at Christmas. The school for necromancer's was a bit of a dead-end.

...fantasy setting??? ... well, there are such things as guilds, and I presume some guilds would have the equivalent of jocks and geeks. (Lord Vetinari was a geek in the Assassins' Guild, and Lord Downey was a jock, ditto. But not in the American sense, obviously). Now there is an interesting...

Let's see ... *flexes fingers* ;) - Tim Curry steals every scene he's in, as the power-hungry wizard Ymper Trymon. :) - The superb Jeremy Irons plays the Patrician, Havelock Vetinari ... and does it very well. It's too bad he doesn't have more screen time. - Sean Astin does quite well as...

Patrician (Lord Havelock Vetinari) ==> Interchangeable Emmas

Kreeblephor, Bishop ==> Patrician (Lord Havelock Vetinari)

******WARNING: LONG POST; SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS AHOY!******* =D Hmm, the only person I've seen who calls Vimes "Sam" (other than Ridcully) is Sybil. Everyone else calls him one of these names: - "Sir" (Carrot, Angua, Nobby, Willikins the Butler) - "Commander" (most of the rest of the...

Excellent analysis Swreader. I have just finished reading it!

Patrician, the (Lord Havelock Vetinari) ==> Inigo

Dave's Pin Shop => Patrician, the (Lord Havelock Vetinari)

Colloquial if old-fashioned English, certainly in British English: "high" or "ripe" as in "stinking, rotten, gone-off". The humour is in the famously ascetic and intellectual Patrician wanting to talk about long-distance travel of information in bits, while a deliberately obtuse Ridcully (we may...

hi all, Reading 'The Truth' for the first time. Can anyone explain this passage ( on p 40 of my Harper Collins paperback edition). I know what the 'clacks ' are. I don't understand why Ridcully says 'They would be pretty high'. quote is below: Vetinari: 'I mean that you may now send a clacks...

[ Moist is a petty con-man who is given his road-to-Damascus moment by Lord Vetinari. He’s always seen what he does as fleecing people who were less intelligent who were trying to fleece him. When he realises he unwittingly drove people who had little enough to poverty and death, he’s shocked...

Colon isn't evil in the way, say, Carcer and Stratford were evil. He's just generally unlikable. Pterry tries to give him good qualities (i.e., in saying how Vimes' trusts Colon's "water" for sensing what's going on in the street) but overall he's mostly dead weight. Lord Rust isn't...

I agree, raisin -- and Vetinari's reply to "I'm not very good at acting", ie: "Good!" :) I think it might be General Aschal who brings out the telescope, but I can't recall. Despite being a villain, Prince Cadram also has some good lines at Lord Rust's expense (such as theatrically licking a...

...reason, or is it simply because of The Rule Of Funny? ;) I also started thinking about Lord Hong and his longed-for chess match with Lord Vetinari. I've played chess for nearly 40 years, so I thought of how the match might go. (Of course, these days Vetinari probably favours Thud). ;)...

... here's my question: as Lord Vetinari pointed out to the A-M Guild of Trespassers (formerly the Guild of Explorers), going somewhere and planting the flag in it does not make the place yours. If it did, we may as well all go back to the trees - and even then, the monkeys will have been there...

Lord Vetinari => Iam, Superior (aka the Cenobiarch)

Ysabell => Lord Vetinari

[Spoilers ahead] Lord Rust in Jingo is irredeemable. Racist, elitist, neglectful of the under-equipped, underfed and underskilled volunteer soldiers he brings to Klatch--he's the epitome of every terrible commanding officer who is more concerned about maintaining the outdated rituals of war...
