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.

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.

I remembered Science of Discworld after posting, but I've only read the first one so that's obviously why it slipped under the radar.
