They are releasing all the Discworld books with new narrators, and so far they have been superb (and I say that as an enormous fan of the previous narrator Stephen Briggs)

Briggs versions are still better though.

Yeah, surprisingly I agree.

I'm still disappointed the Tony Robinson recordings were abridged.

Agreed and wish to add that the earlier ones with Nigel Planer are excellent as well. His reading of Guards, Guards! and Men At Arms were nearly perfect.

Was recently listening to Briggs narrate The Colour of Magic and I caught myself wishing they'd turn off the reverb. I have severe hearing loss in both ears (for which I do wear hearing aids since 1974 but they only help so much,) and I am not overly fond of effects on the voices of book narrators.
