A top 10 of Discworld characters is probably going to be different for every reader.

Some notable omissions : Nanny Ogg, Sargent Colon, Nobby Nobbs - maybe Colon & Nobby ought to be considered as one, Mort, Cohen the Barbarian…. We need a top 20!

There is a story, maybe true, maybe not; that a script for Mort ( my starting point - the one that opened up Sir Terrys world ) was touted around Hollywood.

The view was “this is a great script, but we aren’t sure about this Death character”

This tells you that most tv/film people miss the point. Death ushers you to your next place with a small dose of humour.

I watched the adaptation of the Night Watch. Lots and lots of departures from the source. The only change of sex issue for me was the Patrician don’t know why.

you also need something similar to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy a narrator who could use the footnotes that were all funny and so much a part of Sir Terrys writing
