    Book 27: THE LAST HERO

    Terry Pratchett and Paul Kidby team up for an illustrated Discworld novel assembling some of Ankh-Morpork's largest characters. It's the first time for Andy and PJ exploring this book. Prose twists and lavish illustrations give us a rocketship powered by dragons, a madman with a nuclear device, all the gods, and events that will change the Discworld forever maybe.00:00 Introduction12:54 Part 1. "The last hero ought to return what the first hero stole."The Patrician assembles Ankh-Morpork's greatest minds - and Rincewind - to tackle the problem at Cori Celesti. Cohen has decided to blow up the gods and has kidnapped a bard to help.28:05 Part 2. Morituri Nolumus Mori ('We who are about to die but don't want to')Evil Harry and Vena the Raven-Haired join the quest. But each realise they have maps on scrolls, found in places they'd expect to be found. Death wrestles with Shrodinger's Cat. While priests and gods argue Carrot sews, Leonard mixes dragon food and Rincewind trains.47:16 Part 3. 'Ankh-Morpork, we have an orangutan...'With the privy assembled the crew of The Kite launch towards the circumference. Low supplies of air require a landing on the moon. The Horde climb the heights, pausing to consider heroism, ballads, The Tsortean knot and the taste of chicken (squid)58:27 Part 4. 'And you're the muse of swearing?'The Horde play dress up to enter Dunmanifestin where Fate challenges Cohen to a roll of the die. Rincewind flies The Kite but it comes more easily to The Librarian. Carrot tries an arrest. Mad Hamish's wheelchair makes a heroic sacrifice. Blind Io delivers his judgement. Cohen horse-jacks the valkyries and Leonard's painting causes a stir back in Ankh-Morpork.Listenings: https://pod.link/1645420990Watchings: https://youtube.com/@DiscworldGNUBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/discworldgnu.bsky.socialFacebook: https://facebook.com/discworldgnuAndy's YouTube: https://youtube.com/@UCZSWNQIJ5CNZuRH6XLPcm0w Andy's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/andylukeI've Never Read Discworld is written, hosted and produced by PJ Hart and Andrew Luke.*Our other Bigjobs*SPECIAL PLUGSAUDIOThe Divil’s Own: folklore pod doc https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001yhg4Last Dance: a Dark Fantasy audio drama podcast https://rustyquill.com/show/last-danceVIDEOSThe Gang Blackface Whitewash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNpq6zo1ozYCountry Rogues: comedy short film https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0022d39/comedy-shorts-series-1-2-country-roguesHelp - 360 VR Short Film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41T4Si5fPJsSociological Fiction (released 13 August) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr2MlQPnFSsBOOKSCoastlines After Dark https://books2read.com/coastlinesafterdarkAnother Time https://books2read.com/anothertime

    "The significant owl hoots in the night." Scriptwriter PJ Hart and comics creator/journalist Andy Luke settle down for a read of a Pratchett classic adapted by Stephen Briggs and Graham Higgins. Well I say settle down: they're as excited as The Bursar missing his frog pills. Get ready to revisit the introduction of the Watch and Ankh-Morpork in the time of the dragon. Join us to ask two very important questions: what is in Dibbler's sausages, and... what is Nobby? 00:00:00 Overview: Vimes gerbil; the covers; Belfast FPI 00:18:31 Part 1: Carrot; the Brethern; the dragon 00:30:58 Part 2: Dibbler; and Vimes in a pink nightie 00:46:33 Part 3: The King is dead; long live the dragon 00:57:58 Part 4: I suppose a dartboard would be out of the question? 01:08:26 Conclusions: The expanded Discworld; bright spots; prolific plugs
