About this episode

The episode discusses the themes of time and friendship in Terry Pratchett's 'Thief of Time'.

The universe is going to end, as soon as the glass clock strikes and it's a race against, well... Time, to either create or destroy it. We discuss how Susan is Death's unwitting loophole, and needs some friends who are grown women. We celebrate the History Monks, possibly an answer to internet pedants. We consider how Pratchett might have built on ideas from a previous book.
