Yet of all the various screen versions of the books, not once has Vimes and his motley band of misfit policefolk been the center of attention. While the fantasy spin and humanist perspective Pratchett brings to his world are distinctive, the structure will be familiar to anyone who’s seen a cop show before: there’s a mystery involving a crime, the heroes investigate, mishaps ensue, and eventually the responsible are brought to justice. Out of the half a dozen or more different ongoing storylines in Terry Pratchett’s marvelous Discworld series, the adventures of Sam Vimes and the City Watch seem like the easiest target for a television adaptation. ![]()
