Audiobooks narrated by Stephen Briggs
The name older Discworld recommendations give, and the trap: his readings of the novels are no longer sold on Audible UK, where a search under his name returns the Nomes trilogy, Dodger, Nation, the Science of Discworld books and A Blink of the Screen, but no Discworld novel. The current set is the re-recording with a lead actor per sub-series. His Dodger is the complete book; Tony Robinson's, sold beside it, is abridged.

Series Stephen Briggs appears in
We do not list individual books for these: each is either shared between narrators or includes titles that are not in Stephen Briggs’s recordings, and we hold one narrator credit per series rather than per volume. We would rather say so than guess which titles are which.
Discworld in orderTerry Pratchett · 42 books · One lead actor per sub-series in the current recordings — Jon Culshaw for the City Watch, Indira Varma for the Witches and the Tiffany Aching books, Colin Morgan for Rincewind and the wizards, Sian Clifford for Death, Richard Coyle for Moist von Lipwig — and a different lead on each standalone, with Bill Nighy on the footnotes and, on most of the books, Peter Serafinowicz as Death; A Blink of the Screen is read by Michael Fenton Stevens and Stephen Briggs
