Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman easter eggs in Shadwell’s newspapers
The newspaper that Shadwell gives Newt:
The articles on the right are:
LOST HAT - Uncle Terry’s hat, last seen in a bookshop near Soho, sentimental value. It is black and has a wide brim, and was with his scarf, which is red and yellow. If anyone has seen Terry’s hat, please, please call Rob. We would like to have his hat back where it belongs. Please only call in the evenings as we are away most days and can not return calls. Please quote reference. GO. 28.04
LOST BOOK - I lost my copy of ‘The Colour of Magic’ book on the number 93 bus, this was a first edition. Reward for safe return. Lost last Tuesday between 8:45AM & 10:15AM.
Terry’s hat and his scarf the first advert talks about can be seen in Aziraphale’s bookshop in the episode 1. (And it is truly one of the Terry’s hat and scarf, so he would always be there ❤.)
Later they got their own seat at the Good Omens London premiere, since Terry doubted Good Omens could make it to the screen saying - “You know the big difference between us, Neil, is you believe that one day there’ll be a Good Omens movie. I will only believe it, whatever happens, if I’m sitting next to you at the premiere with a big bag of popcorn – and I don’t promise I’ll believe it then.”:
The Rob from the advert is Rob Wilkins, Terry’s PA and great friend.
The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Terry’s brilliant Discworld saga.
And...
28.04. is Terry’s birthday. ❤
