Honestly I struggle with them all to some extent. These books are not like regular books that are simply stories and characters that can be picked up and put into another format. Between the footnotes and the wry self-aware comments, these books are stories being told to you by the author, almost like he’s right there in the room with you nudging you in the ribs and winking when he makes what he considers to be a good joke.

Someone in here posted the old animated Wyrd Sisters adaptation recently, and I have really fond memories of that one when I was younger, but even then it felt somehow empty even though I didn’t realise why. And this is made even worse with the live action attempts as they also by necessity have to lose some of the more nonsensical elements.

I’m really not a snob for this sort of thing and usually enjoy seeing adaptations of my favourite books but yeah, there’s just something about the Discworld that doesn’t translate for me.

That said I’ve not seen all of them so you never know, maybe there’s something out there that captures the author’s voice and someone else will be along to recommend it to both of us soon!
