One of the many adaptations of Terry Pratchett's works has been radio plays. Radio plays are different from straight readings of the novels, e.g. audio books, as they have a full cast to play the characters and only dialogue is read. The plays have mostly been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, BBC 7 and online on BBC Radio 4 Extra, several of the plays are still repeated on these channels periodically. There also have been serialised readings of several novels. Terry Pratchett BBC Radio Homepage.
