However, Pratchett’s books can be re-read frequently, so it’s not a problem that I last read ‘Wyrd Sisters’, sixth in the series, at the start of 2016. I had entirely forgotten that I had the same laudable aim about ten years earlier, although I only reached the seventh book in the series - six years later - before I gave up with that system. Wyrd Sisters was also broadcast as a film that ran for two hours and 20 minutes.I started re-reading Terry Pratchett’s excellent ‘Discworld’ series, interspersed with other books by favourite authors, back in January.

The first episode was released on, and further episodes were released weekly until the sixth and final one has aired on 22 June. The series is based on Terry Pratchett's book Wyrd Sisters in his novel series Discworld. Les Dennis as The Fool (King Verence II) and Tomjon.The only problem is that Tomjon does not want to be king.Ĭast and characters Main Meanwhile, the duke has decided to get a play written and performed that is favourable to him so he sends the court jester to Ankh-Morpork to recruit the same travelling (now stationary) company that Tomjon is in. However, the kingdom is angry and doesn't want to wait 18 years so the witches move it forward in time. The witches hand the crown and the child to a troupe of travelling actors, acknowledging that destiny will eventually take its course and Tomjon will grow up to defeat Duke Felmet. King Verence I of Lancre is murdered by his cousin, Duke Felmet, and the King's crown and a baby are given by an escaping servant to the three witches.

Wyrd Sisters, the 6-episode television animated fantasy-comedy series closely follows the plot of the novel, which features three witches: Granny Weatherwax Nanny Ogg, matriarch of a large tribe of Oggs, who owns the most evil cat in the world, (Greebo) and Magrat Garlick, the junior witch, who firmly believes in occult jewellery, even though none of it works. It was the second film adaptation of an entire Discworld novel (following the Welcome to the Discworld short, which was based on a fragment of the 1991 novel Reaper Man, and the Soul Music series).

Wyrd Sisters is a six-part animated television adaptation of the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett, produced by Cosgrove Hall Films, and first broadcast on.
