Behind the scenes
- Sir Terry Pratchett also wrote the introduction to Behind the Sofa: Celebrity Memories of Doctor Who. All profits from the book were donated to Alzheimer's Research UK, a charity he often supported due to suffering from dementia himself.
- The first Discworld video game based on Pratchett's work feature voice acting by Jon Pertwee.
- In the video game Discworld 2 the "Travelling Shop" disappears and reappears in various locations throughout the map accompanied by the sound effect of the Doctor's TARDIS.
- Good Omens, co-written by Pratchett and occasional Doctor Who writer Neil Gaiman, was made into a TV series, starring David Tennant as Crowley.
