Footnotes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 For series, this is the first broadcast date, or streaming release date, of the first episode. For films, this is the first wide release date. Basically we’re trying to indicate when the adaptation was first made available to a wide audience, but we’ll make notes where the dating is a bit unclear.
- ↑ A template using this abbreviation has been set up to make linking to this adaptation easier. Type the acronym in braces, e.g. {{GOTV}} will produce Good Omens. By convention, we’re hiding the parenthetical distinctions like “(TV series)” for adaptations that use the same name as the original work; where it’s not obvious in context, use a regular wiki link and be explicit, e.g. “unlike in the television adaptation of Good Omens”.
- ↑ Use this column to sort adaptations into publication order by source work series. Discworld stories are numbered; other series use letter prefixes.
- ↑ Never broadcast, but released on the DVD for Soul Music.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 There’s a lot of conflicting information around when the Cosgrove Hall animated adaptations were broadcast on Channel 4, for whom they were originally produced, but it seems correct that Wyrd Sisters was in May 1997. Some sources then have Soul Music not being broadcast until December 1999, which seems far too late, especially when those same sources say the DVD was released in 1997! So we’re guessing this one, and are continuig to investigate.
- ↑ While more-or-less a fan film, Troll Bridge had official permission from Pratchett and is such a huge production it feels more appropriate to list it with the other official screen adaptations.
- ↑ This is the streaming release date for all episodes on Amazon Prime. It was later broadcast weekly on BBC Two, beginning on 15 January 2020.
- ↑ This is the streaming release date for the first two episodes on BBC America in the US and Stan in Australia. It was released on BBC iPlayer on 1 July 2021, and eventually broadcast on BBC Two from 12 August 2021.
- ↑ Rather than adapting a single book, The Watch creates a new story drawing primarily on ideas from Guards! Guards!, Night Watch and Thud!.
- ↑ This was the premiere on Sky Movies; it had a limited premiere at the Manchester Animation Festival on 13 November 2022.
- ↑ From a money-making perspective; we aren’t suggesting some of these aren’t very good!
- ↑ The trailer doesn’t give the German title, but presumably it’s Lords und Ladies, the German title of the book.
- ↑ The Czech title literally translates to “The Final Reward”.
