I've just watched the second part of Andrew Marr's history of popular fiction which this time covered fantasy, including a generous helping of George R R Martin and Game of Thrones.
It was a wonderful trip through the usual suspects - Tolkien, Lewis et al - but Marr also interviewed Frances Harding and Neil Gaiman and then showed some footage of Sir Terry Pratchett working with his assistant, ad then Marr interviewed the assistant about his working practices.
It was excellent television, and I look forward to reading Mort as the programme suggested that it was with this novel that Discworld started mirroring the Roundworld.
