Simon Allen, showrunner for the upcoming BBC America series, The Watch<\/em>,<\/a> thanked cast and crew in an Instagram post after wrapping on shooting. But fans are angry that Allen left out one rather important contributor amongst his words of appreciation: Sir Terry Pratchett.<\/p>\n

Posting an image of the final shooting slate, Allen commented “Saturday. Somewhere in a distant, second hand set of dimensions, in an alternate trouser leg of time… five years ago next Wednesday I wrote the first line of #thewatch script. Tonight we wrap. A miracle in a world of closed doors, minds, borders and hearts. Ridiculously exciting news to announce in a few weeks at #NYCC” and followed it with an enormous list of various cast and crew members involved with the production. But there was no mention of writer Pratchett who created the Discworld<\/em> universe in which The Watch<\/em> is set.<\/p>\n

In response, Discworld<\/em> fans left reams of angry comments such as “That’s probably the quickest I’ve seen anyone alienate an audience…”, “No mention of Terry Pratchett? Shame.” and “What about #TerryPratchett? You know, the man who actually CREATED the Discworld and the Watch?” Comments on the post have since been stopped.<\/p>\n
