Weirdest Master-Apprentice Chain Ever

[john_amend_all]

So I watched tonight's Endeavour. I wasn't mishearing, was I, when DI Thursday described his own mentor as Sergeant Vimes of Cable Street?

Of course, Ankh-Morpork started out as a Lankhmar parody, and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser have had adventures on Earth. As did Rincewind in TCoM, so... let a thousand crossovers bloom.

In the trailers they had the characters in the trailers saying "It's in the trees...." "It's coming" which was either an accident or someone on 'Endeavour' is also a big fan of Kate Bush's 'Hounds of Love' or 'The Night of the Demon'. So it's possible!

Rincewind has had further adventures on Earth in the Science of Discworld novels.

Since London also has a Cable Street, I think I favour the "personal echo" theory, where Thursday's guv'nor was Vimes's Roundworld counterpart.
