I had thought it would be a really good idea to have Bill Nighy read them, but he did not catch TP's lightness of tone. I agree with what someone else said about the footnotes. At first, the voices of the characters weren't entirely distinct, but by the end I felt the characterization more strongly. Indira is really great, although she wasn't entirely consistent - she got better with the voices as she went along, warming into it. I never liked his readings of the books and wished we could have all of them done by Stephen Briggs. While Nigel Planer did a fantastic Granny (better than Indira), and a pretty good Nanny, the rest of his performance was significantly wanting, and that's where the new version trumps the old one. I've been wanting a new recording of this book for so long. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this. The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983. Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order. It's hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it. But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse?
The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. Everyone lives happily ever after.don't they? Only people can build a better world for people. 'You can't go around building a better world for people. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of Witches Abroad is narrated by Indira Varma ( Game of Thrones Luther This Way Up).
