To give one example, the character of Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, who was originally a peddler of questionable sausages in a bun and anything else that might be hurriedly sold out of a suitcase on a street corner, was transfigured into Throat a drug-dealer and police snitch, played by Ruth Madeley from The Rook. This was because The Watch took character names and concepts from the original Discworld novels, but applied them haphazardly to wholly new characters. Indeed, the credits for each episode of The Watch described it as being " inspired by" the works of Terry Pratchett rather than being " based on" them.
