[BBC Radio Four Extra](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4extra/) have recently aired a number of radio plays of some of Terry Pratchett’s novels.

I don’t know how accessible these are for the non-UK Dopers but so far there has been

Wyrd Sisters - (4 episodes)  
Guards, Guards - (6 episodes)  
Small Gods - (4 episodes)

and currently up to the third 30 minute episode of [Night Watch](http://uk-tv-guide.com/programme-details/BBC+Radio+4+Extra/29+April+2011/23%3A00/Terry+Pratchett+-+Night+Watch/Drama/)(5 episodes)

Apparently there was also Mort (4 episodes) but I missed that one…

I don’t say that they are brilliant but, being Pratchett, they are very entertaining.

Maybe they will make them available on CD.

I caught Nation (6 episodes I think) on BBC radio a while back too.
