Send to friendThe first Terry Pratchett on audio is to be welcomed and Tony (Baldrick) Robinson is a brilliant, energetic narrator who exploits Pratchett's imagination and comic flair making it all sound as though it really is happening. Thousands of 4-inch 'nomes' have lived happily in the Department Store, Arnold Bros, Est. 1905, for ever. For them, there is no Outside - until they discover the startling news that the store is to be demolished. Synchronising teams of nomes operate the gear lever and pedals to escape by truck. Diggers is the sequel when they move to disused quarry buildings and the trilogy is completed by Wings set on Concorde and in Florida. Again, each costs £2.99 and runs for 3 hrs. (See also Jessica Yates' article, Journeys into Inner Space, on page 26.)
