Audiobooks narrated by Tony Robinson

Baldrick, and the voice on the older Discworld recordings still sold beside the current ones. The Discworld titles under his name on the UK store are abridgements — a shortened text for the same credit — and the comparisons on this site measure each one against the complete reading. His Nomes books, Dodger and Stig of the Dump are abridged too; his own histories and memoir are not.

Series Tony Robinson appears in

We do not list individual books for these: each is either shared between narrators or includes titles that are not in Tony Robinson’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
