Which Mort recording should you buy?
The usual Discworld split: a current full recording and an old abridgement far shorter than it.

Short answer
Sian Clifford. There is a certain neatness in Peter Serafinowicz playing Death in the book where Death takes an apprentice.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sian Clifford, with Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz Our pick | 7 hrs 57 mins | Unabridged | The current recording. |
| Tony Robinson | 3 hrs 2 mins | Abridged | Abridged, to 38% of the length of the complete reading here. |
The recording we recommend is also on Audiobooks.com — the same Sian Clifford reading, listed at 7 hrs 57 mins when we checked on 11 September 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.
