Pratchett Almost-Wednesday

[tealin]

Mr Pratchett talks to Mr Humphrys re: Alzheimers (also a bit of bio at the beginning and the now seemingly unavoidable Rowling Feud)

On The Ropes
Also, here's Small Gods, Episode 4 ... sorry I missed episode 3, I forgot what day it aired and somehow a week slipped by without my noticing.

In unrelated radio news, BBC7 is re-broadcasting their fantastic reading of Day of the Triffids, precursor to such collapse-of-civilization stories as 28 Days Later* and Children of Men. The fact it features homicidal plants is really of little consequence, and is vastly less stupid than the 50s B-movie it sounds like. Episode 1 - Episode 2 - Episode 3 - Episode 4There are 17 episodes in total and no way am I going to remember them all, so if you like what you hear, call up the BBC7 iPlayer and have a listen for yourself. *which I haven't seen but which my sister assures me is structurally identical, only with zombies instead of plants

The interview is terrific and I admire Mr. Pratchett even more now than before I heard it.
