Terry Pratchett · 2 Audible UK recordings compared
Short answer
Katherine Parkinson for the complete book; it stands on its own, so there is no series voice to match. The Tony Robinson listing is abridged.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Katherine Parkinson, with Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz Our pick | 11 hrs 26 mins | Unabridged | The current recording, complete. Audible's description says Bill Nighy reads the footnotes and Peter Serafinowicz is the voice of Death. |
| Tony Robinson | 5 hrs | Abridged | Marked abridged in Audible's listing data; the description does not say so either way. |
The recording we recommend is also on Audiobooks.com — the same Katherine Parkinson reading, listed at 11 hrs 27 mins when we checked on 21 October 2026. Their one-credit plan is listed at £7.99 a month before applicable taxes, and its credits expire after three months — the two models compared. We earn a commission on that link.
