* *The conclusion as Moist must contend with Reacher Gilt and his Clacks, which are threatening to use any means, legal and illegal, to destroy the post office. We all have our berserk buttons I guess.*

## Opening music

An excerpt from *The Old Ways* by Loreena McKennit serves as the background music for the introductory montage in all SF Debris reviews of the three *Discworld* TV miniseries from the 2000s, produced by Sky. (Yeah, SF Debris seems to be a fan of McKennit. ;-) )
