Eric Idle is entrenched in my mind as Rincewind though I'm fairly decent at keeping out audio variations of the Disc folk.
I'll never hear Carrot as Welsh, to be honest I don't picture him ginger either but that's just strange and Paul Kidby's Librarian picture's are ape-ish but I woudn't say it was an orangutan.
As for Tony Robinson, his CMOT Dibbler isn't Dibblerish if you get my meaning.

Tony Robinson being Baldrick, have I got this right?
I always think of Dibbler as being more Delboy-ish.

At least he's not called Smith or Brown then we'd have problems!

I think I'm going to be one of the last, I haven't even seen it in bookstores here yet (although admittedly I haven't been in many good ones recently) so I'm not entirely sure it's been released... And once it is it'll take ages for me to get a copy... I'll just keep reading Robin Hobb which my school library FINALLY got the rest of the series' so I now have 7 books in front of me...

Well, the dymocks website says it was released on the 1st of October, so next time I'm near a bookshop it should be there... Especially if it's a Dymocks...

I didn't think that Tony Robinson captures the characters right either, but for some reason I can't seem to stop hearing his voice when I read them.
And what's more, when I read Monsterous Regiment I can't help but hear all the characters voices as women, even though at this point they're "still men". Although I supose that's natural.

complex!! For me at least 
Conspiracy! - Going Postal down in Acapolco!

And GodBen celebrates the paperback release of Monstrous with a spoiler
But I've finally got Going Postal and the Almanak and the 'Art of' 
but what's THIS?!:
"Going Postal is number thirty-three in the sequence"
Okay, I've been told that already but it can be explained.
Taking Last Hero for this example as story #29, then we have Maurice #30, Wee Free Men #31, Hat Full of Sky #32, and Going Postal #33.
Fine. But the Discworld Almanak:
"...Going Postal, the 34th novel of the sequence."
Wha?!
To me Last Hero goes in the same bunch as the Science books and short stories. Discworld stories but 'over there' from the 'Adults of All Ages'.
The books have the lists separated for Io's sake!
(And on a side note The Patrician in Colour of Magic is the same guy in Going Postal: Vetinari. Pratchett says so in the 'Art of'.)
