Bill Nighy

‘It couldn’t be anybody other than Bill Nighy’

“The footnotes are important because that’s a private moment between me and the author,” explains Rob Wilkins – Pratchett’s biography, written by Wilkins, was called A Life in Footnotes for that very reason. “You need a voice that takes you away from the main action of the novel, so it has to be unmistakeable. It has to be the best that you can possibly find. It couldn’t be anybody other than Bill Nighy.”
