Terry Pratchett

Small Gods

Episode 1

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 7Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Great God Om appears before a novice monk - and is soon coming out of his shell...

There are gods everywhere on Discworld - you can't swing a simian librarian without hitting one - except, of course, only a few people can see them. Each small god lies in wait, desperately seeking to make someone believe in him. On Discworld, gods need people more than people need gods, for belief is the food of the gods.

Terry Pratchett's four-part comic Discworld fantasy - set in a complex state of beliefs.
