Weirdest Master-Apprentice Chain Ever
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.

Anyway, other people than me spotted the reference, so I think it's fair to say the full master-apprentice chain now goes:
Keel -> Vimes -> Vimes > Thursday -> Morse -> Lewis -> Hathaway.

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.
